Electrochemical analysis of CuCl/HCl electrolyser
(2015-10-01)
This thesis presents an electrochemical study on a CuCl/HCl electrolyser which is the hydrogen generation step of the CuCl thermochemical hydrogen production cycle. The anode electrolyte is solution of 2 mol.l−1 CuCl(aq) ...
Development of novel energy systems for LNG locomotives
(2015-04-01)
The use of diesel in the railway sector brings challenges to the engineers to meet the current emissions standards set by governments. This thesis addresses potential solutions to overcome the emissions problems in the ...
A framework for integrating wireless sensors and cloud computing
(2015-01-01)
Wireless sensors generate a large volume of data that require a highly scalable framework that enables storage, processing, and analysis. Cloud computing technology can provide unlimited storage in addition to a flexible ...
Development and optimization of a wide base FEA truck tire model for prediction of tire-road interactions
(2015-04-01)
The most important aspect of any land-type vehicle is the efficiency in which it can translate
energy from an engine, motor, or external source to the ground in an effort to move.
Currently, the most efficient way to do ...
Design and validation of active trailer steering systems for articulated heavy vehicles using driver-hardware-in-the-loop real-time simulation
(2015-08-01)
To improve the low-speed maneuverability and high-speed lateral stability of Double Trailer Articulated Heavy Vehicles (DTAHVs), an Active Trailer Steering (ATS) system has been designed. To date, investigations on ATS ...
Integration of deviation zone evaluation and point measurement planning in coordinate metrology
(2015-03-01)
Reliable inspection of a manufactured part with coordinate Metrology demands excessive time to provide higher accuracy. The uncertainty of inspection highly depends on the number and location of points acquired during the ...
Spectrum sensing based on capon power spectral density estimation
(2015-04-01)
Cognitive radio (CR) technology has evolved to solve the spectrum scarcity problem and improve
spectrum utilization. Spectrum sensing is a CR function that allows secondary users to
efficiently utilize the spectrum without ...
Inspection & modelling of cusp geometry in additive manufacturing to predict product’s surface roughness
(2015-04-01)
The final dimensional and geometric inaccuracies, and the resulting high surface roughness of the products have been the major problems in employing Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies. Most of commonly used Additive ...
Nonlinear vibration and frequency response analysis of piezoelectric-based nanotube resonators
(2015-04-01)
To study the vibration behaviour of nanotube-based structures, different models of nanotubes under the effects of piezoelectric layer, intermediate mass, fluid flow and structure curvature are developed. The frequency ...
Optimal farm design with parabolic shape photovoltaic panels using multi-objective optimization
(2015-04-01)
To acquire the maximum efficiency for solar electricity conversion, a solar panel has to absorb nearly every single photon of light emitted from the sun. The shape of the solar panel itself plays an important role in ...
