The adoption of Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) as a substitute to gasoline-based internal combustion engine vehicles represent a major change in the transportation sector. Typically, PEVs uses electricity to charge the ...

There is an increasing interest in computational reactor safety analysis to systematically replace the conservative calculations by best estimate calculations augmented by quantitative uncertainty analysis methods. This ...

In the thermochemical water splitting process by Cu-Cl cycle, oxygen gas is produced by an endothermic thermolysis process in a three-phase reactor. In this thesis, the required heat for the thermolysis process is provided ...

Manufacture of heterogeneous thermoplastic foams is of great interest to damp low frequency noise in transportation and building industries. Most of the fabrication methods reported either use cumbersome batch processes ...

The motivation of this thesis was to formulate clear design guidelines for fabrication and control of an efficient series-series resonant inductive power transfer (SS-RIPT) system for electric vehicle battery charging ...

The electric power distribution system is experiencing significant operational changes due to the integration of plug-in electric vehicles and intermittent distributed energy resources such as rooftop solar photovoltaics. ...

With the lower frequency bands heavily crowded, the millimeter wave (MMW) frequency band has attracted a lot of attention, offering a wide range of applications. It also introduces new challenges to the research community. ...

Conventional source of energy are overly dependent on fossil fuel which tend to face several challenges such as the depleting of fossil fuel, environmental threat and human health. To deal with such challenges, solar PV ...

This report presents the design and implementation of a component-based distributed system for text mining in social networks. The system consists of three main types of components, data collection, data processing and ...
