  2. 1. Advanced power cycles with mixture as the working fluid

    Author : Maria Jonsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : power cycle; mixture working fluid; Kalina cycle; ammonia-water mixture; reciprocating internal combustion engine; bottoming cycle; gas turbine; evaporative gas turbine; air-water mixture; exergy;

    Abstract : The world demand for electrical power increasescontinuously, requiring efficient and low-cost methods forpower generation. This thesis investigates two advanced powercycles with mixtures as the working fluid: the Kalina cycle,alternatively called the ammonia-water cycle, and theevaporative gas turbine cycle. READ MORE

  4. 2. Advanced Materials for Rechargeable Lithium Batteries

    Author : Jae-Kwang Kim; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Rechargeable lithium battery; rate capability; Organic electrode; cycle stability.; Ionic liquid-based polymer electrolyte; electrochemical stability;

    Abstract : Lithium rechargeable batteries have gained much attention in the pursuit for alternative energy sources because of advantages such as high energy density and high electric potential. In addition, the development of low-cost materials has been of interest to reduce the cost of batteries, especially those destined for transportation applications such as electric (EVs) or hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs).

    Abstract : Several aspects make today’s transport system non-sustainable: • Production, transport and combustion of fossil fuels lead to global and local environmental problems. • Oil dependency in the transport sector may lead to economical and political instability. READ MORE

  6. 4. Design and Optimization of In-Cycle Closed-Loop Combustion Control with Multiple Injections

    Author : Carlos Jorques Moreno; Förbränningsmotorer; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Diesel Combustion; Pilot-Main Injection; Pilot Mass Estimation; Cylinder Volume Estimation; Bayesian Estimation; In-Cycle Combustion Controllability; In-Cycle Combustion Control; Model Predictive Combustion Control; Stochastic Combustion Optimization; Hardware Quantification;

    Abstract : With the increasing demand of transportation, biofuels play a fundamental role in the transition to sustainable powertrains. For the increased uncertainty of biofuel combustion properties, advanced combustion control systems have the potential to operate the engine with high flexibility while maintaining a high efficiency and robustness.

  7. 5. Energy simulation and life cycle costs : estimation of a building's performance in the early design phase

    Author : Jutta Schade; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Construction Engineering and Management; Byggproduktion;

    Abstract : Sustainable development and the protection of the environment are key issues in our society today. The building stock in Europe accounts for over 40% of the final energy consumption, CO2 emissions and generation of waste. A large part of the life cycle performance is determined early. READ MORE
