Design and development of a robotic crawler for CANDU fuel channel inspection
(2015-08-01)
For the design of a new robotic crawler drive unit for CANDU fuel channel inspection, a complete design and screening process was done in order to fulfil the objective of this research. A brief explanation of CANDU reactors ...
Power allocation in energy harvesting two-way relay systems
(2015-04-01)
In this thesis, we consider two-way relaying in a wireless communication system with two transceivers and one relay node. In such a model, two scenarios are taken into account: a system with one energy harvesting (EH) relay ...
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 ...
Ultracapacitor characterization using a novel dynamic parameter identification modeling technique for electric transportation applications
(2015-09-01)
Ultracapacitors (UCs), also known as Supercapacitors or double layer capacitors, are the promising technology devices used for storing energy in the field of energy storage systems. These ultra-capacitors, being a low ...
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 ...
A study of MHD and Monte Carlo simulations of high-current plasma beams in industrial applications
(2015-12-01)
In recent years, high-current plasma beams have been widely applied in industrial applications. Computational approaches help us easily understand plasma properties. In this thesis, the high-current plasma beams are simulated ...
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 ...
Adaptive IEEE 802.15.4e LLDN scheduler for wireless network control systems
(2015-12-01)
An active area of research in the automotive research community is the stability of
Long Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) using active trailer steering and/or braking. These
LCVs rely on sensor data located across different ...
Key performance indicators modeling for optimized microgrid configuration
(2015-11-01)
Distribution system is so vulnerable to failures. These failures can be the result of natural or manmade threats. Blackouts are one of the distribution systems failures. Many people can be affected by blackouts. Therefore, ...
