Performance and emission characteristics of natural gas combined cycle power generation system with steam injection and oxyfuel combustion.
(2014-08-01)
Natural gas combined cycle power generation systems are gaining popularity due to their high power generation efficiency and reduced emission. In the present work, combined cycle power generation configuration systems ...
Front underride protection devices: methods for design and testing
(2014-04-01)
Improvements to highway safety are in continual demand. One of the most severe instances of vehicle collision occurs as a result of vehicle weight and sizing mismatch. The fitment of Front Underride Protection Devices ...
Cooperative localization based on received signal strength in wireless sensor network
(2010-01-01)
Localization accuracy based on RSS (Received Signal Strength) is notoriously inaccurate
in the application of wireless sensor networks. RSS is subject to shadowing effects, which is signal attenuation caused by stationary ...
Development of an autonomous omnicopter aerial vehicle
(2016-08-01)
Traditional multirotors and helicopters control translational movement by changing
the orientation of the entire vehicle. This limits the effectiveness of such vehicles in
applications as a mobile manipulator base. In these ...
Power-optimal network beamforming in single-carrier asynchronous two-way relay networks
(2015-09-01)
In this thesis, we consider a single-carrier asynchronous two-way relay network, where the relays employ amplify-and-forward (AF) signaling in a multiple access broadcast channel (MABC) protocol to enable a bi-directional ...
Novel intelligent control techniques in solar-based energy harvesting systems
(2015-10-01)
The sun is considered a precious source of energy. Much research has been done to increase our usage from solar energy since it is a renewable source and, most importantly, it is free and green. However in order to use ...
Analysis and optimization of fuel cell based integrated powering systems for clean rail applications
(2019-08-01)
In this thesis, proposals of novel integrated fuel cell powering systems for cleaner railway applications are presented and analyzed thermodynamically. Both energy and exergy analyses are conducted on these systems for ...
Design, analysis and validation of electrode-less plasma generator
(2016-01-01)
The current work investigates a method for generating plasmas without damaging electrodes. The primary objective is the creation of an electrode-less potential region (virtual cathode) through the use of electron emission ...
Investigation of drying conditions for dental practice loads
(2019-04-01)
This thesis investigates different drying techniques for dental practice loads experimentally and numerically. Several experiments are carried out by changing both top and bottom wall temperatures while changing the ranges ...
A pragmatic testbed for distributed systems
(2017-11-01)
Distributed systems have become ubiquitous and they continue their growth through a range of services. With advances in resource virtualization technology such as Virtual Machines and software containers, developers no ...
