  2. 6. On Exergy and Aero Engine Applications

    Author : Oskar Thulin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Installed propulsion unit performance; Turbofan; Aero engine; Performance modelling; Exergy analysis;

    Abstract : Aero engine performance analysis is highly multidimensional using various measures of component performance such as turbomachinery and mechanical efficiencies, and pressure loss coefficients. Using conventional performance analysis, relying on only the first law of thermodynamics, it is possible to understand how the performance parameters affect the component performance, but not how the component performance relates to the system performance.

  4. 7. Efficiency Improvements in Waste-to-Energy Combustion Processes : Method Development and Evaluation

    Author : Eboh Francis Chinweuba; Simon Harvey; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Solid waste; exergy; entropy; higher heating value; improvement potential; waste-to-energy plant; efficiency improvement; cost evaluation; simulation; modelling; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

    Abstract : is the energy recovery method. The electrical efficiency of this technology, however, is generally low when compared with other solid fuel-fired combustion plants as a result of low steam properties. Furthermore, there is lack of efficient methods to evaluate the performance of this system. READ MORE

  5. 8. Performance evaluations of high-temperature cooling systems in Mediterranean climate

    Author : Henrikki Pieskä; Christophe Duwig; Saqib Javed; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; High-temperature cooling; building energy simulations; exergy; Högtemperaturkyla; byggnadsenergisimuleringar; exergi; Strömnings- och klimatteori; Fluid and Climate Theory;

    Abstract : Cooling demand in Europe is predicted to grow 25-50% between 2020-2050. Meanwhile, the EU aims to lower the greenhouse gas emissions from its building stock by 60%. Therefore, it is essential to find solutions that can meet the growing cooling demand with less energy and integrate renewable energy sources. READ MORE

  6. 9. Efficiency and Mixing Analysis of EGR-Systems for Diesel Engines

    Author : Simon Reifarth; Hans-Erik Ångström; Nils Tillmark; Andreas Cronhjort; José Galindo; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; EGR; Exergy; mixing; pulsating flow; HP-EGR; LP-EGR; high-pressure EGR; low-pressure EGR;

    Abstract : The reduction of fuel consumption and the reduction of toxic emissions are the main goals of research and development in the area of internal combustion engines. The use of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) to come further in that direction is today an established method for diesel engines. READ MORE

  7. 10. ELM: Environmental Assessment of Fuel Supply Systems for Vehicle Fleets

    Author : Magnus Blinge; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; exergy; biomass; alternative motor fuel; wnvironment; transportation; renewable; energy; Life Cycle Assessment; logistics; emission;

    Abstract : This thesis is based on the idea of applying a logistics approach to fuel supply systems. The complete supply chain from energy raw material to end use in the vehicle is analysed while keeping track of energy conversion efficiency, exergy consumption and emissions to air. READ MORE
