This thesis presents the development and simulation of a modular physically based thermal model of a building and a reversible R290 (propane) air-to-water heat pump, implemented in MATLAB/Simulink and Simscape. The work ...

"In future, there will be an increasing demand for waste heat recovery systems (WHRS). So far current technologies are not expected to fulfill the requirement expected for a broad deployment. Thermoelectric generators (T...

This thesis investigates and improves a film cooling configuration for a high-pressure turbine blade operating under transonic conditions. Using computational fluid dynamics validated with experimental data, several geom...

"High-temperature renewable and industrial heat applications require efficient and compact solutions to address their inherent intermittency. Latent heat thermal energy storage is one such solution, acting as a buffer be...

Much effort has been expended in the aerospace industry in order to achieve the highest quality standards required for nowadays technical and environmental necessities. This involves the increase of specific power and ov...

"The Helium Cooled Pebble Bed (HCPB) Breeding Blanket (BB) is one of the 4 BB concepts being investigated in the EU for their possible implementation in a demonstration nuclear fusion reactor (DEMO). The choice of He a...
