Development of thermodynamic cycles for sodium-cooled-fast reactors.
(2013-12-01)
Currently, one engineering challenge is designing Generation IV (GEN-IV) Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) with significantly higher thermal efficiencies compared to current NPPs, and to match, or at least to be close to, the ...
Monte Carlo simulations for the purpose of efficiency curve calibration for the Fastscan whole body counter
(2015-08-01)
In order to be able to qualify and quantify radiation exposure in terms of dose, a Fastscan whole body counter must be calibrated correctly. Current calibration methods do not take the full range of body types into ...
Optimization of plastic scintillator thicknesses for online beta detection in mixed fields
(2010-12-01)
For efficient beta detection in a mixed beta gamma field, Monte Carlo simulation models have been built to optimize the thickness of a plastic scintillator, used in whole body monitor. The simulation has been performed ...
Experimental investigation of scroll based organic Rankine systems
(2011-04-01)
In this thesis, an experimental research is conducted on scroll-based Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) focusing on the expansion process. An important feature of the ORC is the ability to utilize low or moderate temperature ...
Analysis and optimization of fuel cell based integrated powering systems for clean rail applications
(2019-08-01)
In this thesis, proposals of novel integrated fuel cell powering systems for cleaner railway applications are presented and analyzed thermodynamically. Both energy and exergy analyses are conducted on these systems for ...
Energy and exergy analyses of biomass cogeneration systems
(2012-08-01)
Biomass cogeneration systems can generate power and process heat simultaneously from
a single energy resource efficiently. In this thesis, three biomass cogeneration systems are
examined. Parametric analysis of back pressure ...
Experimental investigation of an integrated solar driven wastewater treatment system for trigeneration applications
(2018-08-01)
Hydrogen is a promising alternative as an energy carrier (and carbon-free fuel) to meet the global power demand. Hydrogen production systems can efficiently harvest energy from renewable sources. Even though photo-electrochemical ...
Development and investigation of integrated solar systems for hydrogen and methanol production
(2018-04-01)
Implications of climate change, in particular the negative effects of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from fossil fuel combustion, as well as the finite nature of fossil fuels necessitate the implementation of ...
Development and analysis of new integrated energy systems for sustainable buildings.
(2014-12-01)
Excessive consumption of fossil fuels in the residential sector and their associated
negative environmental impacts bring a significant challenge to engineers within research
and industrial communities throughout the ...
