  2. 1. Design and Implementation of Object-Oriented Model Libraries using Modelica

    Author : Hubertus Tummescheit; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; modeling languages; thermo-fluid systems; process modeling; process control; control systems; thermo-hydraulic systems; non-linear models; model library design; object-oriented; modeling; simulation; Automation; robotics; control engineering; Automatiska system; robotteknik; reglerteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis describes basic models for thermo-fluid systems and the implementation of the models using a flexible object-oriented structure in the ThermoFluid library. Model libraries provide an excellent way to package engineering knowledge of systems to be reused by non-experts. READ MORE

  4. 2. Modelling and Simulation of Reactor Pressure Vessel Failure during Severe Accidents

    Author : Peng Yu; Weimin Ma; Walter Villanueva; Sevostian Bechta; Florian Fichot; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; RPV failure; thermo-fluid-structure coupling; creep modelling; melt pool heat transfer; severe accident; CFD; FEA; transIVR;

    Abstract : This thesis aims at the development of new coupling approaches and new models for the thermo-fluid-structure coupling problem of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) failure during severe accidents and related physical phenomena. The thesis work consists of five parts: (i) development of a three-stage creep model for RPV steel 16MND5, (ii) development of a thermo-fluid-structure coupling approach for RPV failure analysis, (iii) performance comparison of the new approach that uses volume loads mapping (VLM) for data transfer with the previous approach that uses surface loads mapping (SLM), (iv) development of a lumped-parameter code for quick estimate of transient melt pool heat transfer, and (v) development of a hybrid coupling approach for efficient analysis of RPV failure.

  6. 4. Aerothermodynamics and exergy analysis in turbocharger radial turbine

    Author : Shyang Maw Lim; Mihai Mihaescu; Anders Dahlkild; Ricardo Martinez-Botas; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; pulsatile exhaust flow; turbine; turbocharger; Detached Eddy Simulation; heat transfer; exergy; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : Coupling of turbomachine to reciprocating automotive engine in turbocharging leads to complex fluid flow and thermal characteristics in the turbine. Some undesirable characteristics include heat transfer, flow pulsation and secondary flow due to the complex geometry of the upstream exhaust manifold. READ MORE
