  2. 1. Graphene as Solid Lubricant in Polymer Composites : With Application in Hydropower Bearings

    Author : Julian Somberg; Nazanin Emami; Jan Ukonsaari; Gil Gonçalves; Sergei Glavatskih; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Graphene; Solid Lubricant; Polymer Composite; Friction; Hydropower; Machine Elements; Maskinelement;

    Abstract : With a rising global demand for green energy production, hydropower plays a key role in securing a reliable and sustainable energy supply. Hydropower is the largest and most efficient renewable energy source, with an ever-increasing capacity. READ MORE

  4. 2. Hydro-mechanical optimization of a wave energy converter

    Author : Chisom Miriam Ekweoba; Andrej Savin; Halvar Gravråkmo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Ballast optimization; analytical model; pitching wave energy converter; power absorption performance; wave energy converter; geometry optimization; genetic algorithm; floating platform; extended degrees of freedom; beam model; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : Wave energy conversion technology has gained popularity due to its potential to be-come one of the most preferred energy sources. Its high energy density and low car-bon footprint have inspired the development of many wave energy converter (WEC) technologies, few of which have made their way to commercialisation, and many are progressing.

  5. 3. An experimental and numerical investigation of a Kaplan turbine model

    Author : Berhanu Mulu; Sebastian Muntean; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Strömningslära; Fluid Mechanics;

    Abstract : Hydropower is a renewable, reliable and highly efficient source of energy. Hydropower has the ability to run as a base load and to adjust load rapidly. This makes hydropower suitable for coupling with other renewable energy sources to stabilize frequency fluctuations. READ MORE

  6. 4. Development of Effective Algorithm for Coupled Thermal-Hydraulics – Neutron-Kinetics Analysis of Reactivity Transient

    Author : Joanna Peltonen; Tomas Lefvert; Paolo Vinai; KTH; []
    Keywords : Light Water Reactor; BWR; RELAP5; PARCS; Coupling TH NK; Mapping; Spatial Refinement; Turbine Trip; Feedwater Transient; Control Rod Drop; Reactor Stability;

    Abstract : Analyses of nuclear reactor safety have increasingly required coupling of full three dimensional neutron kinetics (NK) core models with system transient thermal-hydraulics (TH) codes. To produce results within a reasonable computing time, the coupled codes use different spatial description of the reactor core. READ MORE

  7. 5. Residual Stress Distributions in Additively Manufactured Parts : Effect of Build Orientation

    Author : Prabhat Pant; Ru Lin Peng; Johan Moverare; Kjell Simonsson; Jonathan Almer; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Additive manufacturing; Residual stress; Neutron diffraction; FEM;

    Abstract : Additive manufacturing (AM) of parts using a layer by layer approach has seen a rapid increase in application for production of net shape or near-net shape complex parts, especially in the field of aerospace, automotive, etc. Due to the superiority of manufacturing complex shapes with ease in comparison to the conventional methods, interest in these kinds of processes has increased.
