Spectrum sharing for two-way relay networks
(2015-07-01)
We consider a communication network consisting of two transceiver nodes, one relay node, and one receiving node. The relay enables a two-way communication between the two transceivers and meanwhile sends its own information ...
Study of an internal combustion engine to burn hydrogen fuel and backfire elimination using a carburetor fuel delivery method
(2010-04-01)
Hydrogen appears to be a clean and sustainable fuel for transportation vehicles, including internal combustion engine vehicles. In this research, a 1986 GMC Sierra truck with a 350CID 5.7L V8, 4 barrel carbureted Chevrolet ...
Development of an autonomous omnidirectional hazardous material handling robot
(2015-12-01)
This thesis describes the prototyping and testing of an autonomous omnidirectional robot, called the OmniMaxbot. The OmniMaxbot is designed to carry cans of uranium ash at Cameco Corporation's Port Hope Conversion Facility ...
Conceptual development and analysis of multiple integrated hydrogen production plants with Cu-Cl cycle
(2016-12-01)
This thesis develops and analyzes four hydrogen production integrated energy systems, where hydrogen is produced via hybrid electrical and thermochemical water decomposition cycle, based on the chemical couple Cu-Cl. The ...
Parametric investigation of flow-sound interaction mechanism of circular cylinders in cross-flow
(2016-12-01)
Flow-excited acoustic resonance in heat exchangers has been an ongoing issue for the past century. The main challenge in this issue, is in the actual prediction of the resonance occurrence. This is due to the complexity ...
Development and analysis of a new direct steam generation-based parabolic trough collector power plant hybridized with a biomass boiler
(2016-10-01)
Direct steam generation (DSG) is the process by which steam is directly produced in parabolic trough fields and supplied to a power block. This process simplifies parabolic trough plants and improves cost effectiveness by ...
Evaluation of the effects of molten CuCl on corrosion resistant coatings
(2016-12-01)
The world is facing energy crisis and pollution problems. Clean and renewable energy resources are gaining popularity day by day. Hydrogen is considered as clean energy carrier which is present in on earth in abundance ...
Design of a novel ferrite core based highly efficient wireless resonant inductive power transfer system
(2016-03-01)
Using ferrite magnetic cores improves the efficiency of IPT and magnetic resonance based IPT systems, and can reduce unwanted stray magnetic radiation in addition to improving coupling efficiency. Performance of different ...
Design and validation of high speed active trailer steering system for articulated heavy vehicle
(2016-01-01)
Articulated heavy duty vehicles are widely used around the world for its economic and environmental benefits. A-train double is one of the most popular heavy duty vehicles in Canada. Despite its advantages, the spread of ...
Analysis and feasibility of an evaporative cooling system with sessile droplet evaporation to provide cooling for microprocessors
(2017-04-01)
The study investigates the cooling requirements for the Intel Xenon Processor and the Intel Core i7-900 Processor using diffusion based evaporation of sessile droplets. An analytical model is developed to determine the ...
