Are you ready to join our team and shape the future of the transportation industry together with us?

Description of thesis work

Aim: A Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulation study on EATS to investigate heat transfer in exhaust pipe to the ambient.

Scope of your mission
  • Investigation of heat loss to the ambient with different insulation materials​ on engine to EATS downpipe.
  • Evaluating different insulators​.
  • Assessing the usage of combination of multiple insulators​.
  • Evaluation and parametrization of the thickness of the insulation material effect on heat transfer​.
  • Understanding the effect of change in pipe thickness and pipe length on overall heat loss​.
  • Approximation of the effect of the wind (Truck’s velocity) on heat transfer and develop a correlation for different wind speeds.
Tools
  • Star CCM, Ansa.
Duration/Status
  • Period: 1 semester, 30 hp credits
  • Starting date: Flexible
  • Language: English
  • Number of students: Suitable for 1-2 students
  • Location: Volvo Group Trucks Technology (Powertrain Engineering), Lundby, Gothenburg, Sweden.
