Thermodynamic analysis of ammonia and urea fed solid oxide fuel cells
(2011-04-11)
This thesis is concerned with the thermodynamic analyses of ion and proton-conducting solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) fed with ammonia and urea as fuels. A multi-level approach was used to determine the feasibility and the ...
Thermodynamic anaysis of an integrated photovoltaic system for hydrogen and methanol production
(2012-06-01)
A solar based integrated system for hydrogen and methanol production is investigated. Energy and exergy analyses of a hydrogen production plant, thermodynamic assessment of methanol synthesis plant, and exergy analysis of ...
Haptic controls in cars for safer driving
(2011-06-01)
With the spread of latest state of the art technologies geared towards utilization of the human senses, haptic technologies have been introduced as a way of utilising the sense of touch to either solve real world problems ...
Exergoeconomic analysis and optimization of organic Rankine cycles
(2012-03-01)
Heat sources such as biomass, industrial waste heat and solar thermal provide the
potential to produce renewable environmentally low impact electricity. Using these
resources efficiently within economic constraints is ...
Self-propelled rotary tool for turning difficult-to-cut materials
(2011-04-01)
Hard turning of difficult-to-cut materials is an economical method of machining components with high surface quality and mechanical performance. Conventionally in the machining industry, generating a component from raw ...
Codebook design for distributed relay beamforming system
(2012-04-01)
In FDD amplify-and-forward distributed relay network, codebook techniques are utilized
to feedback quantized CSI with limited cost. First, this thesis focuses on the phaseonly
codebook and with-power-control codebook design ...
Detection of covert channel communications based on intentionally corrupted frame check sequences
(2011-07-01)
This thesis presents the establishment of a covert-channel in wireless networks in the form
of frames with intentionally corrupted Frame Check Sequences (FCSs). Previous works had
alluded to the possibility of using this ...
Design and development of an autonomous navigation system for an omni-directional four-wheeled mobile robot
(2012-01-01)
A navigation system developed for an omni-directional wheeled mobile robot, called
the Omnibot, is presented. This system is developed to enable the Omnibot to autonomously navigate, in a collision-free manner, along ...
User aid-based evolutionary computation for optimal parameter setting of image enhancement and segmentation
(2011-12-01)
Applications of imaging and image processing become a part of our daily life
and find their crucial way in real-world areas. Accordingly, the corresponding
techniques get more and more complicated.
Many tasks are ...
Development of an autonomous omnicopter aerial vehicle
(2016-08-01)
Traditional multirotors and helicopters control translational movement by changing
the orientation of the entire vehicle. This limits the effectiveness of such vehicles in
applications as a mobile manipulator base. In these ...
