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 ...
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 ...
Investigation of mechanical heat pump systems for heat upgrading applications
(2016-04-01)
Three high temperature heat pump systems based on vapor compression cycles are introduced and examined. Four fluids (water, cyclohexane, biphenyl and mercury) are selected and analysed thermodynamically as prospective ...
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 ...
Development and analysis of a solar-based integrated system with a CO2 Rankine power cycle
(2013-10-01)
The current work is a thermodynamic-based design and analysis of a solar-based
integrated system for power production. In this regards, a reheat supercritical carbon
dioxide (S-CO2) Rankine cycle is proposed. This cycle ...
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 ...
Development and investigation of compressed air only and hybrid powering options
(2016-04-01)
Currently, significant resources are deployed to investigate electric and pneumatic vehicles in response to environmental, energy and consumer pressures. The goal of this thesis is to show conceptual development, analyze, ...
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 ...
Exergy and exergoeconomic analyses and optimization of thermal management systems in electric and hybrid electric vehicles
(2012-01-01)
With the recent improvements in battery technologies, in terms of energy density, cost and size,
the electric (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) technologies have shown that they can
compete with conventional vehicles ...
Design, analysis and experimental investigation of a new scroll expander based trigeneration system
(2014-01-01)
Current technologies of using conventional energy produce a large amount of waste heat which can potentially be recovered in the form of useful work to use in our day to day life. This initiative not only optimizes the ...
