Investigation and assessment of the integrated copper chlorine cycle for hydrogen production with a new separation process
(2021-08-01)
The production of hydrogen as a clean fuel is anticipated to have a major impact on the development of the environmentally benign generation of energy. At present, a significant portion of hydrogen generation is based on ...
Integrated chassis control strategies for multi-wheel combat vehicle
(2021-11-01)
Combat vehicles are exposed to high risks due to their high ground clearance and nature of operation in harsh environments. This requires robust stability controllers to cope with the rapid change and uncertainty of driving ...
Power efficient designs for 5G wireless networks
(2021-01-01)
In this dissertation, to step forward towards green communication, we study power efficient solutions in three potential 5G wireless networks, namely an asynchronous multicarrier two-way Amplify-and-Forward (AF) relay ...
Development and analysis of alternative thermochemical cycles for hydrogen production
(2021-12-01)
Production of carbon-free fuels as alternatives for fossil fuels is a promising approach for controlling climate change and global warming. Hydrogen is considered as the key energy carrier of the future when it is produced ...
Additive manufactured biodegradable and biocompatible polymeric nanocomposite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications
(2021-08-01)
In this thesis, the focus is on using the fused deposition modeling (FDM) method to manufacture functional biodegradable nanocomposite Polymeric Bone Tissue Scaffolds (PBTS). PBTSs are complex products, which have attracted ...
Development and assessment of renewable ammonia and methanol production systems
(2020-04-01)
In this thesis, four renewable energy-based integrated systems for sustainable communities are developed. System 1 consists of a single-stage OTEC plant integrated with an ammonia production and district cooling system. ...
Coded caching for cache-aided communication and computing with nonuniform demands
(2021-10-01)
In this dissertation, we consider the caching system of multiple cache-enabled users with nonuniform demands. We thoroughly characterize the structure of the optimal cache placement of the coded caching scheme (CCS).We ...
Developing a mobile manipulation system to handle unknown and unstructured objects
(2021-04-01)
The exceptional human’s ability to interact with unknown objects based on minimal prior experience is a permanent inspiration to the field of robotic manipulation. The recent revolution in industrial and service robots ...
Soft-switched, active-clamped DC/AC and AC/AC converters for IPT-based wireless charging applications
(2020-09-01)
The acquisition of inductive power transfer (IPT) technology in commercial electric vehicles (EVs) alleviates the inherent burdens of high cost, limited driving range, and long charging time. In EV wireless charging systems ...
Toward enhancing metaheuristic optimization algorithms using center-based sampling strategies for solving single- and multi- objective large-scale problems
(2020-12-01)
Over the last decade, metaheuristic algorithms have become well-established approaches utilized for solving complex real-world optimization problems. Most metaheuristic algorithms have used stochastic strategies in their ...
