2. 21. Precision cooling for C02 reduction

   Author : Sudharsan Vasudevan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; semi- mechanistic models; internal combustion engine; coolant jacket; active nucleation site density; boiling regimes; subcooled flow boiling;

   Abstract : Global climate is adversely affected by increasing emissions of carbon dioxide and other green-house gases. The road transport sector contributes significantly to these emissions. READ MORE

4. 22. Optimisation of Railway Switches and Crossings

   Author : Björn Pålsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wheel and rail wear; railway turnout; optimisation; switch crossing; dynamic vehicle-turnout interaction;

   Abstract : Methods for simulation-based optimisation of the design of railway turnouts (switches & crossings, S&C) are developed and demonstrated. Building on knowledge of dynamic wheel–rail interaction in turnouts, it is investigated how rail profile degradation can be reduced by the optimisation of geometry and component stiffness of the track superstructure.

5. 23. A Co-Simulation Approach for Hydraulic Percussion Units

   Author : Håkan Andersson; Daniel Leidermark; Kjell Simonsson; Daniel Hilding; Mikael Schill; Magnus Eek; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : This Licentiate of Engineering thesis concerns modelling and simulation of hydraulic percussion units. These units are often found in equipment for breaking or drilling in rock and concrete, and are also often driven by oil hydraulics, in which complex fluid-structure couplings are essential for their operation.

6. 24. Development of voyage optimization algorithms for sustainable shipping and their impact to ship design

   Author : Helong Wang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Expected time of arrival ETA ; Ship safety; Sustainable shipping; Metocean forecast; Voyage optimization algorithms.; Dijkstra’s algorithm; Genetic algorithm; Energy efficiency;

   Abstract : The environmental impacts from shipping and the societal challenges of human and property losses caused by ship accidents are pressuring the shipping industry to improve its energy efficiency and enhance ship safety. Voyage optimization is such an effective measure that has been widely adopted in today’s shipping market. READ MORE

7. 25. Multi-objective optimization of railway bogie suspension damping

   Author : Albin Johnsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Railway vehicle dynamics; Bogie suspension design; Multi-objective optimization; Pareto optimized bogie primary and secondary suspensions damping;

   Abstract : In this thesis multi-objective optimization is used to find Pareto fronts showing the set of optimized damping parameters of primary and secondary bogie suspensions. Special interests are put on requirements to enhance safety and comfort of a railway vehicle. READ MORE
