Experimental investigation and modeling of integrated tri-generation systems.
(2013-09-01)
Energy demand in the world is increasing with population growth and higher living standards. Today, the need for energy requires a focus on renewable sources without abandoning fossil fuels. Efficient use of energy is one ...
Kinetics and transport phenomena in the chemical decomposition of copper oxychloride in the thermochemical Cu-CI Cycle
(2012-04-01)
The thermochemical copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle for hydrogen production
includes three chemical reactions of hydrolysis, decomposition and electrolysis. The
decomposition of copper oxychloride establishes the high-temperature ...
Multi-dimensional modeling of transient transport phenomena in molten carbonate fuel cells
(2012-06-01)
Molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) have become an attractive emerging technology for
stationary co-generation of heat and power. From a technical perspective, dynamic operation has
a significant effect on the fuel cell ...
Fluid transport and entropy production in electrochemical and microchannel droplet flows
(2012-04-01)
The growth of energy demand in the world requires addressing the increasing
power requirements of industrial and residential consumers. Optimizing the design of

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 ...
Design and development of a novel anthropomorphic finger with pneumatic tactile sensing
(2020-04-01)
The human hand is a tool that we rely on to conduct a vast variety of tasks, from cracking eggs to lifting boxes. Meanwhile, in an industrial setting, different tools are needed to complete specific tasks. Picking up a box ...
Towards computer-automated mechatronic design and optimization using linear graphs and evolutionary computing
(2020-04-01)
A comparison of literature between the linear graph (LG) and bond graph (BG) approaches shows that the surpassing of BGs to LGs in applications related to the modeling of mechatronic systems is driven primarily by a lack ...
A study on regulation standard for SMRs
(2019-08-01)
The current thinking in the nuclear energy industry is favoring by small-scale Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) with improved safety and multiple applications compared to conventional large-size nuclear power plants. The ...
Design and development of an interactive autonomous monitoring and surveillance drone
(2020-04-01)
This thesis describes the design and development of the novel autonomous UAV that has powerful GPU unit and potential sensing capability. It can run ROS (Robot Operating System) and compatible with packages developed under ...
Reinforcing effect of PVDF/MWCNTs nanofibers on dental resin based composites
(2019-12-01)
In the present study, the restorative composite resin was fabricated by impregnating electro-spun PVDF/MWCNTs nanofiber membrane within the based dental polymer (BisGMA/TEGDMA) using photo-polymerization. The flexural ...
