Design and development of a novel DC/DC bidirectional converter with dual solar/PV-based snow removal and EV charging functionality
(2022-02-01)
Different factors affect solar photovoltaic (PV) systems by decreasing input energy and reducing the conversion efficiency of the system. One of these factors is the effect of snow cover on PV panels, a subject lacking ...
Development and analysis of alternative thermochemical cycles for hydrogen production
(2021-12-01)
Production of carbon-free fuels as alternatives for fossil fuels is a promising approach for controlling climate change and global warming. Hydrogen is considered as the key energy carrier of the future when it is produced ...
A system framework for non-intrusive monitoring of HMI states for detecting human-in-the-loop error precursors
(2020-04-01)
Past industrial accidents suggest that increased automation has had an adverse effect on operator situational awareness (SA) and Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) errors. More so, any current automation is not yet capable of providing ...
Development of polymeric nano-composite fiber based structures for acoustics and filtration applications
(2021-08-01)
Electrospinning lab-scale experimental set-up was developed for manufacturing polymeric nanofiber composites for acoustics and filtration applications. In this study, nanofiber membranes were fabricated using two types of ...
Development and modeling of a lab-scale integrated copper-chlorine cycle for hydrogen production
(2020-08-01)
Hydrogen is one of the most important energy carriers, clean fuels, and storage media in the upcoming future. Hydrogen production through the thermochemical copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle is one of the most promising methods ...
Investigation of the ultrasonic based hydrogen production process: Sonohydrogen
(2021-04-01)
The present work carries out various sets of numerical investigations to link the primary effect of the acoustic parameters with the secondary effect of developing a chemical reaction mechanism for water vapor dissociation ...
Investigation and assessment of the integrated copper chlorine cycle for hydrogen production with a new separation process
(2021-08-01)
The production of hydrogen as a clean fuel is anticipated to have a major impact on the development of the environmentally benign generation of energy. At present, a significant portion of hydrogen generation is based on ...
Integrated chassis control strategies for multi-wheel combat vehicle
(2021-11-01)
Combat vehicles are exposed to high risks due to their high ground clearance and nature of operation in harsh environments. This requires robust stability controllers to cope with the rapid change and uncertainty of driving ...
Power efficient designs for 5G wireless networks
(2021-01-01)
In this dissertation, to step forward towards green communication, we study power efficient solutions in three potential 5G wireless networks, namely an asynchronous multicarrier two-way Amplify-and-Forward (AF) relay ...
Additive manufactured biodegradable and biocompatible polymeric nanocomposite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications
(2021-08-01)
In this thesis, the focus is on using the fused deposition modeling (FDM) method to manufacture functional biodegradable nanocomposite Polymeric Bone Tissue Scaffolds (PBTS). PBTSs are complex products, which have attracted ...
