- Demonstrated and characterized here is a single use valve developed for high-pressure applications. Incorporated within the single use valve is a particle filter. The filter serves to remove any particle debris created by the activation process. The valve is solder sealed to be leakage proof. The solder is remelted to obtain activation of the valve. Local heater elements are incorporated on the valve surface together with solder wetting pads. The gas mass flow through the device was evaluated prior to sealing and after activation. The valve was functional at pressures of 100 bar, and opened in less than 10 s with an applied power of 13 W.

Fluidic Microsystems for Micropropulsion Applications in Space
- 2006

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Spacecraft on interplanetary missions or advanced satellites orbiting the Earth all require propulsion systems to complete their missions. Introducing microelectromechanical systems technology to the space industry will not only reduce size and weight of the propulsion system, but can also increase the performance of the mission.Fluid handling systems are used in chemical and electric propulsion. Some components incorporated in a fluidic handling system are presented and evaluated in this work.Microsystems are very sensitive to contamination. Reliable, robust, and easily integrated filters were modeled, manufactured, and experimentally verified.A fluid connector, designed to withstand large temperature variations and aggressive propellants was manufactured and characterized. Similar designs was also be used as a thermally activated minute valve.The feasibility of a cold gas system for precise attitude control has been demonstrated. Steps towards improving the performance (from specific im-pulse 45 s) have been taken, by the integration of suspended heater elements.For electric propulsion, two thermally regulated flow restrictors have been characterized. These devices can fine-tune the propellant flow to e.g. an ion engine.A single-use valve using a soldered seal has also been successfully dem-onstrated within a pressure range of 5 to 100 bar.The microsystem-based propulsion systems of tomorrow’s spacecraft need to be demonstrated in space, in order to gain necessary credibility.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The gas flow through a network of crossing thin micro-machined channels has been successfully modeled and simulated. The crossings are formed by two sets of v-grooves that intersect as two silicon wafers are bonded together. The gas is distributed from inlets via a manifold of channels to the narrow v-grooves. The narrow v-grooves could work as a particle filter. The fluidic model is derived from the Navier–Stokes equation and assumes laminar isothermal flow and incorporates small Knudsen number corrections and Poiseuille number calculations. The simulations use the finite element method. Several elements of the full crossing network model are treated separately before lumping them together: the straight v-grooves, a single crossing in an infinite set and a set of exactly four crossings along the flow path. The introduction of a crossing effectively corresponds to a virtual reduction of the length of the flow path, thereby defining a new effective length. The first and last crossings of each flow path together contribute to a pressure drop equal to that from three ordinary crossings. The derived full network model has been compared to previous experimental results on several differently shaped crossed v-groove networks. Within the experimental errors, the model corresponds to the mass flow and pressure drop measurements. The main error source is the uncertainty in v-groove width which has a profound impact on the fluidic behavior.

Handbok för kapacitetsanalys med hjälp av simulering
- 2014
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Syftet med föreliggande handbok är att beskriva hur trafiksimulering kananvändas som en alternativ metod eller komplement till analytiska metoderför att bestämma kapacitet och framkomlighet. Liksom metodbeskrivningarnai TRV2013/64343 är beskrivningarna avsedda att kunna användas för att medhjälp av trafiksimulering uppskatta effekterna av en given utformning isamband med planering, konsekvensanalys, projektering och drift avvägtrafikanläggningar. Simulering kan användas som ett komplement till deanalytiska metoderna, eller som ersättning i fall som inte täcks av dessametoder. Härigenom minskas risken för onödiga kostnader förorsakade avsåväl över- som underkapacitet.
