Analysis of heat transfer and fluid flow in an evaporating sessile droplet for evaporative cooling applications
(2015-08-01)
Cooling is of critical importance for a number of fields, particularly in microelectronic
devices and other miniaturized technology. The evaporation of the sessile liquid
droplet facilitates the phase change of that liquid ...
Sum-rate optimal network beamforming and power allocation for single-carrier asynchronous bidirectional relay network
(2015-08-01)
We study the problem of sum-rate maximization, under a total transmit power budget,
for an asynchronous single-carrier bidirectional (two-way) network. The network consists
of two single-antenna transceivers which wish to ...
Spectrum sharing for two-way relay networks
(2015-07-01)
We consider a communication network consisting of two transceiver nodes, one relay node, and one receiving node. The relay enables a two-way communication between the two transceivers and meanwhile sends its own information ...
Development of an autonomous omnidirectional hazardous material handling robot
(2015-12-01)
This thesis describes the prototyping and testing of an autonomous omnidirectional robot, called the OmniMaxbot. The OmniMaxbot is designed to carry cans of uranium ash at Cameco Corporation's Port Hope Conversion Facility ...
Power-optimal network beamforming in single-carrier asynchronous two-way relay networks
(2015-09-01)
In this thesis, we consider a single-carrier asynchronous two-way relay network, where the relays employ amplify-and-forward (AF) signaling in a multiple access broadcast channel (MABC) protocol to enable a bi-directional ...
Novel intelligent control techniques in solar-based energy harvesting systems
(2015-10-01)
The sun is considered a precious source of energy. Much research has been done to increase our usage from solar energy since it is a renewable source and, most importantly, it is free and green. However in order to use ...
Letters to a young engineer. Second edition, 2015

Experimental and numerical quantification of EV and PHEV battery pack thermal isolation strategies
(2015-10-30)
The objective of this thesis is to quantify the effects of passive thermal management achieved through augmenting thermal isolation incorporated into an electrified vehicle’s energy storage system by design. Temperature ...
Modeling and multi-objective optimization of a photovoltaic-thermal based multigeneration system
(2015-01-01)
In this thesis, a novel multi generation integrated system is introduced, analyzed and optimized. It consists of GaAs based PV (Photo-Voltaic) arrays connected in series. Light is being concentrated on those arrays using ...
Design and simulation of MEMS-based insulin micro-pump with integrated micro-needle array
(2015-11-01)
One of the most effective treatments for diabetes type 1 and 2 is the administering Insulin. Single needle mechanical insulin pumps are heavy and painful. A generation of micro-needle-based MEMS-based drug delivery devices ...
