Svenskt Stål AB (SSAB) is a global steel company who aim to eliminate all of their CO2emissionsby 2045. Today, SSAB Borlänge releases 20 GWh of waste heat in the form of steam into theatmosphere annually. This steam could instead be stored in a thermal storage unit, and then usedagain to reduce fossil fuel burning that is currently running the steam boilers. This report willinvestigate if SSAB Borl ̈ange’s old oil tank of 1200m3can be redesigned into a thermal storageunit to store the steam that is being wasted.Results show that the tank can be designed as a 95◦C hot water storage with a two c

Portable electronic devices have made a profound impact on our society and economy due to their widespread use for computation, communications, and entertainment.

Since most of the energy consumed by an internal combustion engine is wasted, capturing much of that wasted energy can provide a large increase in energy efficiency. For example, a typical engine producing 100 kilowatts of driveshaft power expels 68 kilowatts of heat energy through the radiator and 136 kilowatts

Abstract:

This thesis covers two main areas of investigation, the production and recovery of process dusts formed in the steelmaking industry, and secondly the study of the utilisation of coals for injection in a blast furnace and during co-firing with biomass in a utility boiler. These are linked by an overall aim to research the environmental and economic sustainability of industrial processes through increased process efficiency, decreased environmental impacts, and increased recovery of waste. It comprises a summary of the research contribution from six first-author peer reviewed journal publication

Abstract:

Low back pain (LBP) is a common ailment in the United States, affecting up to 80% of adults at least once in their lifetime. Although 90% of LBP cases are considered nonspecific, recent studies show that abnormal mechanics of the lower back can be a major factor. One method of assessing the lower back mechanical environment is through perturbation experiments. An intensive literature review of perturbation systems was used to select and develop a system for the Human Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Lab (HMBL). Following construction, individuals with high/low exposure to day-long physical activit

Abstract:

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) have been candidate materials for morphing applications. However, the SMPs have not been fully tested to work in relevant environments required for Air Force missions. In this study, an epoxy-based SMP was separately exposed to moisture, lubricating oil and UV radiation, which are simulated service environments designed to be reflective of anticipated performance requirements. The thermomechanical properties and shape memory effects were studied by using novel high-temperature nanoindentation technique. Results show that environmental conditions have affected the g

Thesis (MScEng) -- Stellenbosch University, 2004.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Around the world the implementation of heat recovery systems is playing an increasingly important role in the engineering inqustry. The recovered energy is utilised in the plants and saves companies millions in expenses per year. Not only is this seen on the grand scale of industry, but also in everyday life, where for instance turbochargers are used to boost the performance of automobiles by utilising the wasted energy expelled along with exhaust gasses. The aim of this project is to investigate a small scale waste

Abstract:

Aerial recovery of autonomous micro air vehicles (MAVs) presents many unique challenges due to the difference in size and speed of the recovery vehicle and MAV. This thesis presents algorithms to enable an autonomous MAV to estimate the orbit of a recovery vehicle and track the orbit until the final docking phase. Methods for estimating ellipses that are rotated out of the x − y plane are developed and demonstrated through simulation. These algorithms are shown to be robust to noise and stable numerically. Parameter update methods that are computationally inexpensive, such as recursive least s
