Study on heat transfer to supercritical water in application to SMRs
(2021-12-01)
The SuperSafe Reactor (SSR), a small modular reactor (SMR) concept with a supercritical water coolant, was subjected to a thermalhydraulic analysis and an economic analysis of its Levelized Unit of Energy Cost (LUEC). ...
Analysis and optimal planning of nuclear-renewable hybrid energy systems for ships
(2021-06-01)
Ocean-going ships are one of the sources of global GHG emissions. Several actions are being taken to reduce the GHG emissions from maritime vessels, and integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) is one of them. Due ...
Detector integration of severe accident management instrumentation for robotic applications at nuclear reactor facilities
(2021-08-01)
In the aftermath of a nuclear accident, robots can be used to monitor and assess radiological contamination, preventing harmful exposure to plant personnel. In this work, several detectors were evaluated to be supplemented ...
Study of radio frequency inductively coupled thermal plasma torch (RF ICPT) for radioactive waste treatment: thermoplastics - polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
(2021-06-01)
Despite advancements in technology and many progresses made in effort for radioactive waste (RW) treatment and overall management, there is still no final and ever lasting solution. Among the many RW materials originating ...
Modelling and real-time simulation of a modular bidirectional solid-state transformer for ultra-fast charging of electric vehicles
(2021-08-01)
This thesis proposes a modular Solid-State Transformer (SST) system architecture to be directly interfacing with a three-phase MV utility network enabling high-power and ultra-fast charging capabilities for electric vehicles, ...
Enhancing parallel coordinates and RadVis visualizations using single-and multi-objective optimization
(2021-04-01)
Data visualization is crucial to discover hidden patterns and relationships in high dimensional datasets; visualization is an essential branch in data analytics applied in science and engineering fields. This thesis has ...
An energy-efficient periodic resource model for cyber-physical systems By Suzanne Elashri
(2021-08-01)
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), especially real-time systems, are subject to time constraints that should be met for the applications to run properly. The schedulability of workloads can be analyzed by determining the supply ...
Electrical impedance tomography for internal radiation therapy
(2021-08-01)
Internal radiation therapy is a radiation-based treatment for various forms of localized cancer. In this treatment, several needles or catheters are inserted percutaneously into the tissue, and radiation is delivered through ...
An integrated wind-powered energy system for residential applications in cold regions
(2021-09-01)
This thesis proposed an integrated direct wind-powered energy system that can provide drinking water, domestic hot water, space heating as well as electricity for residential applications of a remote community in a cold ...
Fast algorithm for joint unicast and multicast beamforming in large-scale systems
(2021-09-01)
We consider a joint unicast and multi-group multicast beamforming problem for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system with a large number of unicast users. We propose an alternating direction method of multipliers ...
