  2. 11. Performance of Compact Heat Exchanger in Non-Perpendicular Cooling Airflows

    Author : Lisa Henriksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Simulations; Angled; Experiments; Inclined; Heat transfer; Pressure drop; CFD; Heat exchanger;

    Abstract : During recent years the main focus in the vehicle industry has been on cutting the fuel consumption and emissions as well as improving the vehicle performance. To be able to meet these demands additional systems are being introduced into the vehicle. READ MORE

  4. 12. Optimum Design of Heat Exchanger Networks in Retrofit Situations

    Author : Annika Carlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; optimum design; pressure drop; process integration; pinch thechnology; heat transfer coefficients; heat exchanger networks; retrofit;

    Abstract : Today, the most important activity in heat exchanger network synthesis is the retrofitting, rather than grass-root design, of networks. There is a vast potential for energy improvement in many processes by increasing the level of internal heat exchange. READ MORE

  5. 13. Catalytic Converters for Automotive Exhaust Applications. Flow Dynamics, Mass Transfer and Optimization

    Author : Fredrik Ekström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TWC; optimization; exhaust; laboratory reactors; catalytic converter; catalysis; pressure drop; entrance effects; CFD; mass transfer; pulsations; flow distribution;

    Abstract : In order to reduce emissions from vehicles powered by an internal combustion engine, an exhaust aftertreatment system is normally mounted on the engine. This aftertreatment system normally consists of one or several catalytic converters. READ MORE

  6. 14. Energy Efficiency Improvements in Household Refrigeration Cooling Systems

    Author : Erik Björk; Björn Palm; Claudio Melo; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Household refrigerator; Domestic refrigerator; Free convection; Plate evaporator; Heat transfer; Flow boiling; Isobutane; R600a; Pressure drop; Two-phase; Cooling system; Charge inventory; Cyclic losses; Thermography;

    Abstract : This thesis is based on eight articles all related to the characteristics of the cooling system and plate evaporator of a household refrigerator. Through these articles, knowledge is provided that can be used to increase the operational efficiency in household refrigeration. READ MORE

  7. 15. Investigation and Optimization of the Acoustic Performance of Exhaust Systems

    Author : Sara Elsaadany; Mats Åbom; Ray Kirby; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Exhaust systems; noise; pressure drop; 1D models; perforated mufflers; after treatment devices; optimization;

    Abstract : There is a strong competition among automotive manufacturers to reduce the radiated noise levels. One important source is the engine exhaust where the main noise control strategy is by using efficient mufflers. READ MORE
