Dynamic fuzzy reliability and safety assessment of passive safety systems in small modular reactors
(2023-04-01)
Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) have garnered significant interest in recent years, and they may play an essential role in the future of energy supply and power generation. One major advantage associated with SMRs is their ...
Hot particle dosimetry using a wall-less tissue equivalent proportional counter
(2023-05-01)
Highly radioactive specks of irradiated nuclear fuel or activated material, colloquially known as 'hot particles', can enter the workplace or external environment from nuclear power plant operations such as refurbishment ...
Decommissioning considerations for molten salt type reactors
(2023-05-01)
Molten salt type small modular reactors are presently being developed as an option for providing electricity and alternative energy forms. The current proposed designs do not document how decommissioning will be addressed. ...
Assessing the behaviour of solid particulates in the flow of molten salt reactor coolant circuits
(2023-04-01)
This work investigated solid particulate behaviour in molten salt nuclear reactors. Solid particulates are expected to form from fission products reacting with fuel components, creating compounds with melting temperatures ...
Modified wavelet-based pulse width modulation technique for cascaded H-bridge multilevel converter
(2023-08-01)
Power electronics (PE) converters are crucial for providing a cost-effective, reliable, and efficient solutions for integrating renewable energy sources (RES) into the electrical grid. Over the years, many converter ...
Effects of the geometric modifications on the shear layer excitation source in co-axial side branches
(2023-08-01)
This comprehensive study delves into the interaction between shear layer oscillations and the acoustic field within co-axial cavities, spotlighting the efficacy of the sound source model as a reliable semi-empirical modeling ...
Experimental investigation of new coating methods for 3D-printed cathodes for hydrogen production
(2023-08-01)
This thesis presents a novel approach for preparing electrodes for hydrogen evolution reaction. A new approach where the electrolysis cathodes are 3D-printed and coated for alkaline water electrolysis. Copper, iron, and ...
Efficient design of reconfigurable intelligent surface assisted multi-group multicast beamforming
(2023-09-01)
This thesis considers a multi-group multicasting scenario facilitated by a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS). We propose low-complexity scalable algorithms for the joint design of the base station (BS) multicast ...
Experimental investigation of dark fermentation of poplar leaves for biohydrogen production
(2023-08-01)
Biohydrogen, a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy alternative, is pivotal in transitioning to a more energy-efficient future. Thesis research explores the variations of H2 hydrogen production potential of ...
A hybrid battery cell voltage equalizer considering thermal behavior and capacity fade characteristics
(2023-08-01)
The thesis focuses on developing a robust, high-fidelity lithium-ion battery model adaptive to changes in operating temperature, aiming for accurate estimation of state of health (SOH). The thesis proposes two novel methods ...
