Thermodynamic performance evaluation and experimental study of a Marnoch Heat Engine
(2009-10-01)
The Marnoch Heat Engine (MHE) is a recently patented type of new heat engine that
produces electricity from lower temperature heat sources. The MHE utilizes lower
temperature differences to generate electricity than any ...
Multi-state system in a fault tree analsis of a nuclear based thermochemical hydrogen plant
(2008-07-01)
Nuclear-based hydrogen generation is a promising way to supply hydrogen for this large market in the future. This thesis focuses on one of the most promising methods, a thermochemical Cu-Cl cycle, which is currently under ...
Design of 3-DOF parallel manipulators for micro-motion applications
(2009-08-01)
This thesis presents two unique micro-motion parallel kinematic manipulators (PKM):
a three degrees of freedom (3-DOF) micro-motion manipulator and a 3-DOF micro-motion
manipulator with actuation redundancy. The 3-DOF ...
Thermal performance analysis and geometrical optimization of automotive brake rotors.
(2008-07-01)
The heat dissipation and thermal performance of ventilated brake discs strongly depends on the aerodynamic characteristics of the air flow through the rotor passages. In this thesis, the thermal convection is analyzed using ...
