2. 1. Waste heat recovery in a cruise vessel

   Author : Fredrik Ahlgren; Marcus Thern; Aykut Ölcer; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; whr; orc; ships; waste heat recovery; energy efficiency; cruise ships; Sjöfartsvetenskap; Maritime Science;

   Abstract : In three studies of a cruise ship the author has investigated waste heat recovery (WHR)from exhaust gases using an organic Rankine cycle (ORC), and also mapped the energyand exergy flows within the ship. Data were collected from the ship’s machinerysystem for a total extent of one year, and this data were used for simulations andenergy calculations. READ MORE

5. 3. Adaptive Cruise Control and Driver Modeling

   Author : Johan Bengtsson; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Many vehicle manufacturers have lately introduced advance driver support in some of their automobiles. One of those new features is Adaptive Cruise Control DACCE, which extends the conventional cruise control system to control of relative speed and distance to other vehicles. READ MORE

6. 4. Kind words, cruise missiles and everything in between : A neoclassical realist study of the use of power resources in U.S. policies towards Poland, Ukraine and Belarus 1989–2008

   Author : Barbara Kunz; Jan Hallenberg; Hans E. Andersson; Ronnie Hjorth; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; neoclassical realism; foreign policy; power; U.S. foreign policy; Central and Eastern Europe; Poland; Ukraine; Belarus; Political science; Statsvetenskap; Political Science; statsvetenskap;

   Abstract : This study intends to explain why the United States led entirely different policies towards Poland, Ukraine and Belarus under circumstances where realist theory would predict otherwise. Realism being an “environment based theory”, it would indeed predict a state to lead highly similar foreign policies under identical conditions. READ MORE

7. 5. Integrated brake control : downhill driving strategies

   Author : Peter Lingman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; transport efficiency; heavy duty trucks; road slope estimation; cruise controller; retardation economy; foundation brakes; mass estimation; brake heat fading; Auxilary brakes; downhill driving strategies; component wear;

   Abstract : In this thesis, downhill driving strategies that co–ordinate the different brake actuators in heavy duty vehicles have been developed. As a starting point, the vehicle features affected by the retardation system are investigated. READ MORE
