Prediction of the off-road rigid-ring model parameters for truck tire and soft soil interactions
(2017-07-01)
Significant time and cost savings can be realized through the use of virtual simulation of testing procedures across diverse areas of research and development. Fully detailed virtual truck models using the simplified ...
Partial separation of an azeotropic mixture of hydrogen chloride and water and copper (ii) chloride recovery for optimization of the copper-chlorine cycle
(2017-09-01)
An atmospheric-pressure distillation system is designed and constructed to partially separate hydrochloric acid and water. The system concentrates HCl(aq) between the electrolyzer and hydrolysis steps of the Copper-Chlorine ...
Development and experimental investigation of new self-can cooling systems
(2014-04-01)
In this thesis, two conceptual self-cooling beverage can designs are proposed. The methods of cooling are validated experimentally and certain parameters of interested are obtained for an analytical and numerical study of ...
Utilization of thermal plasma for conversion of thermoplastic waste to oil products in a pyrolysis reaction
(2016-11-01)
Chemical recycling of waste plastics has gained attention in last decade with nearly 170 million tonnes of deposited waste plastics annually. A chemical process known as pyrolysis converts thermoplastic waste to oil products. ...
Automated inspection of sintered uranium fuel pellets
(2011-11-01)
A method of applying high-speed, non-destructive testing technologies to the inspection process of UO2 (uranium dioxide) fuel pellets is presented. The scanning process examines the surface of each pellet for correct ...
Design and analysis of a thermolysis reactor for scaled-up copper-chlorine hydrogen production cycle
(2017-12-01)
Alternative hydrogen production methods are being explored with the goal of
finding efficient and economical process. The copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle for
hydrogen production has been the focus of the Clean Energy ...
Joint relay beamforming and transceiver processing in multiuser relay network
(2016-08-01)
In this thesis, we focus on joint relay beamforming and transceiver processing in multiuser relay network. First of all, we consider the scenario in which multiple source-to-destination (S-D) pairs intend to communicate ...
Investigation of a hydrogen production process through aluminum and water chemical reaction
(2019-12-01)
This thesis reported a novel hydrogen production experimental set up, which utilized the chemical reaction between aluminum and water to produce hydrogen. The constructed experimental setup had an aluminum powder spraying ...
Design automation and QoS requirements preservation for multiprocessor embedded systems
(2019-07-01)
The number of processors is increasing in embedded systems but the usefulness of parallel computation is not better leveraged due to the inflexibility of design and implementation for multiprocessor embedded system ...
Multimodal series elastic actuator for human-machine interaction with applications in robot-aided rehabilitation
(2019-11-01)
Series elastic actuators (SEAs) are becoming an elemental building block in collaborative robotic systems. They introduce an elastic element between the mechanical drive and the end-effector, making otherwise rigid structures ...
