A Computational Fluid Dynamics based model that predicts wall shear stress in CANDU outlet feeder pipes
(2018-01-01)
Wall thinning of carbon steel in CANDU reactor outlet feeder pipes due to Flow Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) is identified as one of the challenges for CANDU reactors since it would force them to shut down due to safety ...
Systems and models for secure fallback authentication
(2018-12-01)
Fallback authentication (FA) techniques such as security questions, Email resets, and SMS resets have significant security flaws that easily undermine the primary method of authentication. Security questions have been shown ...
Examining the affordances and constraints of using infographics in pre-service teacher education
(2018-04-13)
Infographics are a communication tool that can be used to share large amounts of data in a more aesthetically pleasing and understandable way. The production and consumption of infographics encourages students to develop ...
Analyzing the impact of BYOD in secondary school English classrooms
(2018-08-01)
There is limited research on Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs. This study explored the impact of a BYOD program on secondary school students’ engagement, learning process, and learning performance in English classrooms. ...
Dynamic accident sequence analysis using dynamic flowgraph method and Markov/cell-to-cell mapping technique
(2018-07-01)
In the recent years, numerous concerns have been raised regarding the capabilities and adequacy of classical probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) techniques (fault/event tree) to account for dynamic system interactions ...
Apprehension of Resistive Characteristics of Plasma Ionized Hybrid Nano Fibrous Silicon
(2018-12-04)
Literature review done for the study identified number of challenges with the conventional way of manufacturing nano patterned surfaces. Also, it indicated immense potential of nano structured surface as a sensing surface ...
Development and assessment of renewable energy based integrated systems for dimethyl ether production
(2018-12-01)
Dimethyl-ether (DME) is considered to be one of the most promising, renewable alternative fuels. This thesis studies, develops, analyzes and assesses the performance of three dimethyl-ether production integrated systems, ...
Life cycle assessment of conventional and alternative fuels for vehicles
(2018-08-01)
For the near future, it is important that vehicles are run by alternative fuels. Before we can go ahead with the new alternatives, it is crucial that a comprehensive life cycle analysis is carried out for fuels. In this ...
Thermal management of the thermochemical Cu-Cl cycle linked with industrial processes for hydrogen production
(2018-04-01)
This thesis study develops, analyzes and evaluates three integrated systems using process heats available in industrial applications for hydrogen production via copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle. The first system consists of ...
Development and analysis of active rear axle steering for 8x8 combat vehicle
(2018-08-01)
This thesis proposes and compares multiple vehicle dynamics controllers using rear axle steering of an 8x8 combat vehicle. The controllers are assessed on ability to increase maneuverability at low speed, increase stability ...
