Design and analysis of an active underbody aerodynamic device for tractor trailers
(2018-04-01)
At highway speeds, up to 65 % of the total energy used by large trucks is for overcoming aerodynamic drag. The underbody region of a tractor-trailer is responsible for up to 30 % of the aerodynamic drag on tractor-trailers, ...

Development and assessment of renewable energy based integrated systems for dimethyl ether production
(2018-12-01)
Dimethyl-ether (DME) is considered to be one of the most promising, renewable alternative fuels. This thesis studies, develops, analyzes and assesses the performance of three dimethyl-ether production integrated systems, ...
Influence of sinusoidal motion on Stirling engines
(2018-12-01)
Stirling engines have a high potential to produce renewable energy due to their ability to use a wide range of sustainable heat sources and their high theoretical efficiencies. They have not yet achieved widespread use and ...
Development of an end-effector system for autonomous spraying applications and radiation surveying
(2018-11-01)
This thesis presents the design and testing of a scale proof-of-concept prototype end-effector system for autonomous shotcrete application and radiation surveying in underground uranium mining environments. The prototype ...
A Survey on Security and Attack Aspects of Passwords
(2018-01-19)
Despite many weaknesses, passwords are still mainly used, and will continue to be used in the near future, for the user authentication process. Passwords remain one of the important pillars of the protection structure even ...
Control of resonant excitation in piping systems
(9th International Symposium on Fluid-Structure Interactions, Flow-Sound Interactions, Flow-Induced Vibration & Noise, 2018)
Acoustic resonance is a phenomenon which is known to
have severe repercussions in a variety of industrial systems.
Acoustic resonance can cause high levels of vibrations leading
to damage or premature failure of critical ...
An energy-regenerative suspension system
(ASME, 2018)
Intelligent integration of prosumers with battery energy storage in smart distribution systems using optimal design and a transactive energy framework
(2018-06-01)
A legacy electric power distribution system is characterized by a unidirectional power flow from centralized power plants to customers. The role of these customers has been known for many years as power consumers and not ...
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 ...
