Energy storage systems have been brought to focus as means to reduce the high fluctuation in the production side and facilitate integration of renewable energy sources. This work is focused on investigating design and ...

This thesis investigates photocatalytic hydrogen production by performing an experimental study using a small-scale photochemical cell which splits water to hydrogen and oxygen by UV light irradiated boron-doped TiO2 and ...

In industrial piping systems, centrifugal and reciprocating turbomachinery generate acoustic pressure pulsations, which propagate into the pipeline and interact with piping components, potentially causing vibrations, ...

Due to their remarkable economic and environmental benefits, Multi-Trailer Articulated Heavy Vehicles (MTAHVs) have been frequently adopted by the trucking industry. Despite the above advantages, MTAHVs exhibit two particular ...

Batteries have been becoming more and more popular because of their long life and lightweight. Accurate estimation of the SOC help in making plans in an application to conserve and further enhance battery life. State of ...

Multiple-input power converters are receiving significant research attention as they offer several advantages over conventional converters, specifically their ability to interface multiple energy sources of various kinds. ...

A cam and follower system is a mechanical linkage designed to transform a rotating motion to that of a linear reciprocating motion. Cams are well known for valving in internal combustion engines but are commonly utilized ...

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 ...

The number of processors is increasing in embedded systems but the usefulness of parallel computation is not better leveraged due to the inflexibility of design and implementation for multiprocessor embedded system ...
