2. 1. Multiphysics modelling of PEM fuel cells - with reacting transport phenomena at micro and macroscales

   Author : Munir Khan; Värmeöverföring; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; macroscale; PEM fuel cells; CFD; microscale; multiphysics; multiphase; anisotropy;

   Abstract : This thesis presents numerical simulations of reacting transport phenomena in polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells. Broadly, the presented work is subdivided into macro and microscale simulations. READ MORE

4. 2. SOFC Modeling from Micro- to Macroscale: Transport Processes and Chemical Reactions

   Author : Hedvig Paradis; Värmeöverföring; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mass transport; diffusion; microscale; porous media; kinetics; LBM; CFD; anode multicomponent; MATLAB;

   Abstract : The purpose of this work is to investigate the interaction between transport processes and chemical reactions, with special emphasis on modeling mass transport by the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) at microscale of the anode of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). In order to improve the performance of an SOFC, it is important to determine the microstructural effect embedded within the physical and chemical processes, which usually are modeled macroscopically.

5. 3. Macroscale Modelling of 3D-Woven Composites: Inelasticity, Progressive Damage and Final Failure

   Author : Carolyn Oddy; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; 3D-woven composites; Anisotropy; Damage; Inelasticity; Phase-field; Failure;

   Abstract : Composites with 3D-woven reinforcement have been slowly making their way into different industrial applications. The interlacement of yarns, not only in-plane but also through-thickness, means that in many applications 3D-woven composites can outperform their laminated counterparts. READ MORE

7. 5. Numerical and laboratory studies of seismic properties and elements of rock fabric from the microscale to the macroscale

   Author : Mohsen Bazargan; Bjarne Almqvist; Qin Wang; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Physical properties of rocks studied in the laboratory are useful to provide constraints on the dynamics of Earth?s interior. This may include direct constraints on in-situ seismic properties, such as elastic wave velocity measurements that can be compared to seismological data, or petrofabric indicators such as anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS).
