Design and implementation process for controls integration using CAN bus on a full function electric vehicle conversion
(2014-03-01)
From the electrical engineering perspective, this thesis addresses the design and
implementation of the conversion process from a hybrid electric to a full function electric
vehicle (FFEV). The architecture selection process ...
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 ...
Thermodynamic performance assessment of three biomass-based hydrogen production systems
(2010-04-01)
Hydrogen is likely to be an important energy carrier in the future. It can be produced by the steam reforming of natural gas, coal gasification and water electrolysis among other processes. However current processes are ...
Development and investigation of an ammonia synthesis reactor
(2018-08-01)
Ammonia production has gained increasing attention in the last decade due to its importance as a feedstock and an energy carrier. In the present thesis study, two novel ammonia production systems are presented. The first ...
Development of a new integrated sustainability assessment model for energy systems
(2017-07-01)
This thesis presents a novel and comprehensive sustainability assessment model for energy systems. The model features an integrated approach and encompasses various multi-disciplinary areas of study, which influence energy ...
Investigation of a hydrogen production process through aluminum and water chemical reaction
(2019-12-01)
This thesis reported a novel hydrogen production experimental set up, which utilized the chemical reaction between aluminum and water to produce hydrogen. The constructed experimental setup had an aluminum powder spraying ...
Investigation of sustainable hydrogen production from steam biomass gasification
(2010-12-01)
Hydrogen is a by-product of the gasification process and it is environmentally friendly with respect to pollution and emission issues when it is derived from a CO2-neutral resource such as biomass. It is an energy carrier ...
Experimental and theoretical investigations of magnesium-chlorine cycle and its integrated systems
(2015-01-01)
This study aims to investigate the feasibility of the Mg-Cl hybrid thermochemical cycle and to develop a more cost and energy effective cycle. There are five key elements of this study: (i) modeling and simulation of the ...
Energy and exergy analyses of multigenerational integrated systems with geothermal and solar energy sources
(2017-12-01)
The world population growth leads to a large demand of the different forms of energy. The challenges will be focusing on the discovery of new technologies that will satisfy to the demand and the production of energy that ...
Experimental investigation of an integrated solar driven wastewater treatment system for trigeneration applications
(2018-08-01)
Hydrogen is a promising alternative as an energy carrier (and carbon-free fuel) to meet the global power demand. Hydrogen production systems can efficiently harvest energy from renewable sources. Even though photo-electrochemical ...
