Development of truck tire-terrain finite element analysis models.
(2013-12-01)
Heavy vehicles require tires which can withstand extreme loads while maintaining control,
delivering performance and minimizing fuel consumption, particularly on soft soils. Recent
advances in finite element analysis and ...
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 ...
Modeling, analysis and optimization of integrated energy systems for multigeneration purposes
(2013-08-01)
Energy use is directly linked to well-being and prosperity across the world. Meeting the growing demand for energy in a safe and environmentally responsible manner is an important challenge. There are around seven billion ...
Intelligent fault diagnosis of gearboxes and its applications on wind turbines
(2013-02-01)
The development of condition monitoring and fault diagnosis systems for wind turbines has received considerable attention in recent years. With wind playing an increasing part in Canada’s electricity demand from renewable ...
Investigation of energy storage options for thermal management in hybrid electric vehicles
(2013-01-01)
Electric and hybrid electric vehicles could have a significant role in the sustainable transportation. Higher power density lead to extra heat generation and thermal runaway in the Li-ion cells. Therefore, a successful ...
Assessing district energy systems performance integrated with multiple thermal energy storages.
(2013-08-01)
The goal of this study is to examine various energy resources in district energy (DE) systems and then DE system performance development by means of multiple thermal energy storages (TES) application. This study sheds light ...
Thermal sustainability of low-temperature geothermal energy systems: System interactions and environmental impacts.
(2013-10-01)
In storing heat during summer for use in winter, the ground provides a better source/sink
of heat than the outside air in regards to heat pump efficiency, being cooler than the outside air in the summer and warmer in the ...
Mass transfer and particle dissolution in liquid-gas and solid-liquid flows: Application to hydrogen production processes.
(2013-10-01)
Many environmental problems are related to the production, transformation and use
of energy. Some of the concerns include, but are not limited to, acid rain, ozone depletion
and climate change. Therefore, “greener” ...
Investigation of energy storage options for sustainable energy systems.
(2013-08-01)
Determination of the possible energy storage options for a specific source of
energy requires a thorough analysis from the points of energy, exergy, and
exergoeconomics. The main objective of this thesis is to investigate ...
Leadership based multi-objective optimization with applications in energy systems.
(2013-12-01)
Multi-objective optimization metaheuristics (MOMs) are powerful methods for solving complex optimization problems but can require a large number of function evaluations to find optimal solutions. Thus, an efficient ...
