16. Heat Transfer Aspects of Using Phase Change Material in Thermal Energy Storage Applications
Sammanfattning : Innovative methods for providing sustainable heating and cooling through thermal energy storage (TES) have gained increasing attention as heating and cooling demands in the built environment continue to climb. As energy prices continue to soar and systems reach their maximal capacity, there is an urgent need for alternatives to alleviate peak energy use. LÄS MER
17. Geometrical and Electronic Structures at Molecule-Metal Interfaces from Theoretical Modeling
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, we focus on theoretical investigations on metal interfaces where many heterogeneous chemical reactions take place. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy and the modern electrochemical methods are important in-situ techniques that have been widely employed for a variety of applications. LÄS MER
18. Development and characterization of functional composite materials for advanced energy conversion technologies
Sammanfattning : The solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a potential high efficient electrochemical device for vehicles, auxiliary power units and large-scale stationary power plants combined heat and power application. The main challenges of this technology for market acceptance are associated with cost and lifetime due to the high temperature (700-1000 oC) operation and complex cell structure, i. LÄS MER
19. Enhanced Boiling Heat Transfer on a Dendritic and Micro-Porous Copper Structure
Sammanfattning : A novel surface structure comprising dendritically ordered nano-particles of copper was developed during the duration of this thesis research project. A high current density electrodeposition process, where hydrogen bubbles functioned as a dynamic mask for the materials deposition, was used as a basic fabrication method. LÄS MER
20. Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis of Boiling Water Reactor Stability Simulations
Sammanfattning : The best estimate codes are used for licensing of Nuclear Power Plants (NPP), but with conservative assumptions. It is claimed that the uncertainties are covered by the conservatism of the calculation. LÄS MER
