Experimental investigation and analysis of a new light-based hydrogen production system
(2014-12-01)
Due to the world’s increasing population and the rising standard of living, global energy demand is expected to keep increasing. The limited nature of fossil fuels and their non-homogenous global distribution along with ...
Development and experimental investigation of new self-can cooling systems
(2014-04-01)
In this thesis, two conceptual self-cooling beverage can designs are proposed. The methods of cooling are validated experimentally and certain parameters of interested are obtained for an analytical and numerical study of ...
Monte-Carlo-simulation-based performance analysis of the heat transfer process in nuclear-based hydrogen production based on Cu-Cl Cycle.
(2014-08-01)
As a crucial step in nuclear-based hydrogen production based on Cu-Cl cycle, the performance analysis of heat transfer process is of paramount importance. However, as a newly built system, the major obstacle of applying ...
Design and development of side underride protection devices (SUPD) for heavy vehicles
(2014-04-01)
There exists a large mismatch between the bumper of a passenger vehicle and the ground clearance of heavy vehicles. During collisions between the car and the side of the heavy vehicle, a large amount of intrusion is observed ...
Performance analysis of gas turbine cogeneration systems.
(2014-06-01)
Cogeneration is a highly efficient approach to generating electricity and process heat
from the same fuel source. It is an approach of utilizing waste energy products for a
useful purpose that significantly improves the ...
Passive methods for suppressing acoustic resonance excitation in shallow rectangular cavities.
(2014-08-01)
The flow-excited acoustic resonance in shallow rectangular cavities can be a source of severe noise and/or excessive vibration. This phenomenon is excited when one of the acoustic modes in the accommodating enclosure is ...
Joint channel pairing and power allocation optimization in two-way multichannel relaying.
(2014-08-01)
We consider two-way amplify-and-forward relaying in a multichannel system with two
end nodes and a single relay, using a two-slot multi-access broadcast (MABC) as well as
time-division broadcast (TDBC) relaying strategies. ...
Learning image enhancement and object localization using evolutionary algorithms
(2014-03-01)
Imaging and image processing have been used in variety of applications, such as medical,
astronomy, forensic, and industry. Numerous techniques have been proposed to solve
speci c problems faced in particular applications ...
Letters to a young engineer. First edition, 2014
(University of Ontario Institute of Technology, 2014)
Achieving high efficiency thermoelectric heating and cooling with metal foam heat exchangers
(2014-04-01)
This thesis examines the development of a high efficiency heat pump system using
thermoelectric (TE) and reticulated metal foam (RMF) technologies to power a vehicle`s
battery thermal management system. The focus is split ...
