Hydrogen is considered as the most prominent candidate for clean energy generation. The Copper Chloride (Cu-Cl) cycle has been chosen as an effective cycle for production of hydrogen due to its comparatively lower operating ...

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 ...

In this thesis an integrated aerodynamic and thermodynamic testing system was developed. It consists of an incremental force measuring system (FMS) that was designed and constructed. In addition, a testing protocol was ...

In the present thesis study, alkaline electrolyte based direct ammonia fuel cells are developed, and their performances are evaluated through various parameters and efficiencies, such as open circuit voltages, polarization ...

Using closed-loop inspection systems to modify coordinate metrology tasks for specific engineering applications has been a demanding research subject over the last decade. The objective of this thesis is to develop an ...

This thesis discusses the design and development of a pipe crawling robot for the purpose of CANDU fuel channel inspection. The pipe crawling robot shall be capable of deploying the existing CIGAR (Channel Inspection and ...

The development of an autonomous robotic platform for generating radiation maps is presented. An integrated autonomous exploration algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm, and the ability to accurately localize ...

In modern times, electric vehicle and autonomous driving control technology have been rapidly evolving for use in civilian passenger vehicles. They bring forth many benefits in improved mobility, cost savings and life-preserving ...

Faults in a controlled plant often deteriorate the system performance. In severe cases, faults pose a risk of component damage, plant shutdown or even personnel safety. Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) aims at preventing the ...

Micromanipulation in microtechnology is highly needed for microfabrication and biomedical applications. Specifically, high manipulation resolution combined with accurate macromotions plays a more crucial role especially ...
