  2. 6. Heat treatment of Al-Si-Cu-Mg casting alloys

    Author : Emma Sjölander; Salem Seifeddine; Ingvar Svensson; Sten Johansson; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cast aluminium alloys; Heat treatment; Solution treatment; Artificial ageing; Tensile properties; Plastic deformation; Microstructure; Modelling;

    Abstract : Environmental savings can be made by increasing the use of aluminium alloys in the automotive industry as the vehicles can be made lighter. Increasing the knowledge about the heat treatment process is one task in the direction towards this goal. The aim of this work is to investigate and model the heat treatment process for Al-Si casting alloys. READ MORE

  4. 7. Development and characterisation of bast and basalt fibre hybrid polymer composites for automotive applications

    Author : Anjum Saleem; Roberts Joffe; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Flax; Hemp; Kenaf; Basalt fibres; Polypropylene; Acrylic based polyester resins; Flexural; Tensile; Impact strength; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

    Abstract : Natural fibres such as kenaf, hemp, and flax, also known as bast fibres, offer several benefits such as low density, low cost, carbon dioxide neutrality, sustainability and renewability. In Europe, their composites are used intensively by almost all car manufacturers, mostly in interior applications. READ MORE

  5. 8. Analysis of PEM Fuel Cell Stacks and Systems with Water/Thermal Balances

    Author : Takamasa Ito; Värmeöverföring; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Thermal engineering; applied thermodynamics; Termisk teknik; termodynamik; PEM Fuel Cell Systems ; Water Thermal Balances ; Heat Exchangers ; PEM Fuel Cell Stacks ;

    Abstract : The Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell has been investigated for a long time, and is regarded as a new energy source for various applications, such as portable, stationary and automotive ones. However, due to the shortage of the infrastructure in the society, the high cost, the difficulty of the water/thermal management, etc. READ MORE

  6. 9. Multiscale Simulation Methods for Thermoelectric Generators

    Author : Olle Högblom; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Exhaust gas heat recovery; subgrid modelling; CFD; Thermoelectrics; Contact resistances;

    Abstract : Rising energy prices and greater environmental awareness, along with stringent emissions legislation, in the automotive industry make it possible to introduce techniques in the aftertreatment system that have previously been unprofitable. One such technique, studied here, is heat recovery from exhaust gases using thermoelectric generators. READ MORE

  7. 10. Conversion of biomass and waste using highly preheated agents for materials and energy recovery

    Author : Pawel Donaj; Wlodzimierz Blasiak; Tobias Richards; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biomass; waste; pyrolysis; gasification; ASR; Metallurgical process engineering; Metallurgisk processteknik; SRA - Energy; SRA - Energi;

    Abstract : One of the greatest challenges of human today is to provide the continuous and sustainable energy supply to the worldwide society. This shall be done while minimizing all the negative consequences of the operation(s) to the environment and its living habitants including human beings, taking from the whole life cycle perspective.
