Assessing the behaviour of solid particulates in the flow of molten salt reactor coolant circuits
(2023-04-01)
This work investigated solid particulate behaviour in molten salt nuclear reactors. Solid particulates are expected to form from fission products reacting with fuel components, creating compounds with melting temperatures ...
Neutronic characterization of a Molybdenum-99-producing CANDU fuel bundle and implications for reactivity-device worth and refuelling strategies
(2023-08-01)
Operating CANDU reactors can potentially produce significant quantities of Molybdenum-99 due to their ability to be refuelled online, high thermal neutron flux and fuel-design flexibility. A Molybdenum-producing bundle ...
Addressing electrode-specific degradation in the production and performance of electrochemical energy storage systems
(2023-08-01)
This thesis addresses the pressing issue of sustainable development and climate change by examining the life cycle (degradation) of electrochemical energy storage devices. Specifically, it investigates a green synthesis ...
A contactless and non-intrusive current measurement technique for low and medium voltage AC power systems
(2023-08-01)
The real-time state of current is essential to precisely monitor and control the AC power systems. It is also crucial for detecting various types of faults that may lead to long duration and wide area outages and affect ...
Effect of self-excited acoustic perturbations on flow characteristics around rectangular cylinders with varied geometrical aspects
(2023-08-01)
This study explores the effects of aspect ratio, edge geometry and incidence angles on the dynamic lift force, wake behaviors, and the susceptibility of such geometrical aspects to self-excited acoustic resonance in ...
PoT: bridging IoT with phone technology
(2023-09-01)
The ”Phone of Things” (PoT) introduces an innovative integration of IoT systems with the widely available telephone network infrastructure. It repurposes underused home landlines and existing communication servers, weaving ...
Modelling of radioactive particle resuspension after a dirty bomb event
(2023-12-01)
The primary hazard of a Dirty Bomb emanates not from the initial detonation but from the subsequent re-suspension of deposited radioactive particles. Although radiological contamination is substantial on surfaces initially, ...
Coordinated multicast beamforming for multi-cell massive MIMO systems
(2023-09-01)
In this thesis, we consider the efficient coordinated multi-cell multicast beamforming design in massive massive multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) cellular networks. For the problem that aims to minimize the base station ...
Analysis and techniques of cyberattack types classification in smart grids
(2023-09-01)
The smart electric grids rely on integrating the information and communication technologies (ICT) into the electric power grid infrastructure to facilitate the exchange of information for an enhanced and economic operation. ...
Optimizing electrocardiogram analysis for efficient heart condition diagnosis
(2023-09-01)
This thesis introduces an innovative lead grouping strategy for efficient real-time Electrocardiography signal classification. This method uses a maximum of six leads instead of the traditional 12-lead approach, leading ...
