Monte-Carlo-simulation-based performance analysis of the heat transfer process in nuclear-based hydrogen production based on Cu-Cl Cycle.
(2014-08-01)
As a crucial step in nuclear-based hydrogen production based on Cu-Cl cycle, the performance analysis of heat transfer process is of paramount importance. However, as a newly built system, the major obstacle of applying ...
Achieving high efficiency thermoelectric heating and cooling with metal foam heat exchangers
(2014-04-01)
This thesis examines the development of a high efficiency heat pump system using
thermoelectric (TE) and reticulated metal foam (RMF) technologies to power a vehicle`s
battery thermal management system. The focus is split ...
System for evaluating effects of immersion in molten copper chloride salts on corrosion resistant coatings
(2014-12-01)
Hydrogen, as one of the best alternative energy carrier candidates, is easier to sustain than fossil fuel. Hydrogen demand has significantly increased as a clean energy carrier. The Cu-Cl cycle is one of the capable ...
Performance and emission characteristics of natural gas combined cycle power generation system with steam injection and oxyfuel combustion.
(2014-08-01)
Natural gas combined cycle power generation systems are gaining popularity due to their high power generation efficiency and reduced emission. In the present work, combined cycle power generation configuration systems ...
Design and development of side underride protection devices (SUPD) for heavy vehicles
(2014-04-01)
There exists a large mismatch between the bumper of a passenger vehicle and the ground clearance of heavy vehicles. During collisions between the car and the side of the heavy vehicle, a large amount of intrusion is observed ...
Letters to a young engineer. First edition, 2014
(University of Ontario Institute of Technology, 2014)
Experimental study of turbulent boundary layer flows over forward facing steps with different surface conditions.
(2014-09-01)
This thesis is a fundamental study that was conducted experimentally to investigate the
effects of different surface types on turbulent flows over forward facing steps. A particle
image velocimetry technique was employed ...
Front underride protection devices: methods for design and testing
(2014-04-01)
Improvements to highway safety are in continual demand. One of the most severe instances of vehicle collision occurs as a result of vehicle weight and sizing mismatch. The fitment of Front Underride Protection Devices ...
Development of a PSA-based safety assessment and management framework for nuclear-based hydrogen generation system.
