  2. 21. Numerical Investigation of Some Heat Transfer Topics with Relevance to Gas Turbines

    Author : Arash Saidi; Värmeöverföring; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vakuumteknik; Maskinteknik; vacuum technology; vibration and acoustic engineering; hydraulics; Mechanical engineering; plasma; fluiddynamik; Gaser; Ribbed ducts; intercoolers; EASM; EVM; gas turbine; CFD; heat exchangers; extended surfaces; offset strip fin; heat transfer enhancement; Thermal engineering; applied thermodynamics; Termisk teknik; hydraulik; termodynamik; Gases; plasmas; fluid dynamics; vibrationer; akustik;

    Abstract : The first part of the investigation is related to the heat transfer and fluid flow problem inside ribbed ducts with a square cross section. The typical applications of this problem are in the cooling of gas turbine blades and guiding vanes. The second part is related to application of intercoolers in gas turbine systems. READ MORE

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; gravitation; relativity; quantum mechanics; classical mechanics; Mathematical and general theoretical physics; Fysik; Physics; High peak-to-valley ratio; Lateral confinement; Quantum dots; Resonant tunneling; Self-assembled quantum dots; Schottky depletion; Buried metal gate; Electron transport; Magnetic-field dependence; Energy level width; Tunneling transistors; Mode coupling; statistical physics; thermodynamics; Matematisk och allmän teoretisk fysik; klassisk mekanik; kvantmekanik; relativitet; statistisk fysik; termodynamik; Technological sciences; Teknik; Fysicumarkivet A:2001:Gustafson;

    Abstract : In the thesis, three-dimensionally confined resonant tunneling structures were studied experimentally. Two approaches were used for obtaining quantum confinement: gate-defined lateral constriction of double barrier structures, and epitaxial growth of self-assembled quantum dots. READ MORE

  5. 23. Heat and Mass Transfer Investigations of Relevance for Food Engineering Applications

    Author : Dirk Sterner; Värmeöverföring; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Thermal engineering; applied thermodynamics; Termisk teknik; termodynamik; mathematical modelling; frozen and non-frozen food; minced beef patties; cooking; heat and mass transfer; plate heat exchangers; evaporation;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns two interrelated subjects of heat and mass transfer processes. The first one concerns mainly experimental measurements, with a subsequent development of a calculation procedure, of the thermal and hydraulic performances, experimental methods and evaluation procedures applied on various plate heat exchangers (PHEs) as evaporators with the refrigerant ammonia as working medium.

  6. 24. Humidification Processes in Gas Turbine Cycles

    Author : Marcus Thern; Kraftverksteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; applied thermodynamics; Thermal engineering; Energiforskning; Energy research; HAT; Biomass; Biofuel; Humidification; Evaporation; Evaporative gas turbine ; Humid air turbine ; Termisk teknik; termodynamik;

    Abstract : The global climate change caused by emissions of greenhouse gases from combustion processes has been recognized as a continuously growing problem and much research focuses on improving the environmental performance of gas turbines. The potential of improving gas turbine component efficiencies has become smaller each decade and therefore, thermodynamic cycles have become more interesting for power producing units. READ MORE
