Performance Calculations and Optimization of a Fresnel Direct Steam Generation CSP Plant with Heat Storage (Mechanical Project)
This study deals with the performance calculations of a 9MW linear Fresnel CSP plant with direct steam generation built by the Solar Division of the CNIM Company. The aim was to calculate the Continue reading
Experimental study of Complex Pipe Flow (Mechanical Project)
Turbulent pipe flows are prevalent in industrial applications. Despite a large body of experimental and more recently numerical investigations there are still unresolved fundamental issues. Among those are the scaling of the Continue reading
Nutrient Driven Topology Optimization (Mechanical Project)
The aim of this study is to investigate how a biological structure changes its shape and boundary under different cases of load if flow of nutrients is included, since nutrient flow has not been taken into account in Continue reading
MIND – Modelling in Industry for Increased Energy Efficiency and Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Mechanical Project)
In industry, energy efficiency reduces system cost and emissions to the environment. Energy audits are carried out in industry to identify measures that would increase energy efficiency. However, the usual case is that Continue reading
Further Developments of the Acbuilder Tool for Constructing Geometrical Models of Aircraft (Mechanical Project)
This report, along with Laurent Gourc’s and Ben Marchant’s reports, presents the work done on the development of the new AcBuilder, realized for CEASIOM. CEASIOM is a package of different modules, developed as part of Continue reading
Thermoeconomic Analysis and Optimisation of Air-Based Bottoming Cycles for Water-Free Hybrid Solar Gas-Turbine Power Plants (Mechanical Project)
The growing worldwide energy demand and the impacts of climate change due to anthropogenic greenhouse gases emissions are among the major issues facing humanity. The global energy system, responsible for most of the greenhouse gases emissions, is therefore at the heart of Continue reading
Analysis of a new district heating line: Evaluation of heat losses and hydraulic facilities (Mechanical Project)
The aim of the project is to analyze the enlargement of the district heating line located in Gävle, evaluating the hydraulic facilities and calculating the heat losses with different insulation thicknesses to choose the best insulation thickness for the pipes. To choose the Continue reading
Evaluation of Stability and Flying Qualities of a Light Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) (Mechanical Project)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the flying qualities of a light unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developed by the Thai company AVIA Satcom Co., Ltd. Based on the study changes in design was to be suggested to meet stability requirements and Continue reading
Energy Conservation in Moldova – Opportunities in the Industrial and Residential Sectors (Mechanical Project)
The importance of energy conservation in all the aspects of energy production, transportation, distribution and utilisation should not be underestimated. A special attention to that is paid since the oil crisis in 70’s of the last century. Today energy efficiency has increased considerably, but there is still a potential for Continue reading
Polygeneration system based on low temperature solid oxide fuel cell/micro gas turbine hybrid system (Mechanical Project)
Polygeneration systems attract attention recently because of their high efficiency and low emission compare to the conventional power generation technology. Three different polygeneration systems based on low temperature solid oxide fuel cell, atmospheric solid Continue reading
Renewable for Rural Electrification in Sri Lanka (Mechanical Project)
At the beginning of the 1970s, the industrial countries accounted for about 80%of world oil consumption. Today, they are down to little more than 50%. Already, China uses more total primary energy than United States. Developing countries are in the process of Continue reading
