Numerical investigation of turbulent combustion regimes on localized forced ignition using stratified combustible mixture
(2019-03-01)
Localized forced ignition of turbulent stratified mixtures has been numerically analyzed based on three- dimensional Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) for different values of Karlovitz number (Ka) corresponding to different ...
Analytical modelling of annular flow magnetorheological valves for advanced fluid control
(2019-08-01)
Magnetorheological valves have the potential to disrupt the fluid control industry with their numerous advantages over mechanical valves. The current design and development process of these valves largely leverages computer ...
Annual incidence of traumatic brain injury among Ontario adults with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities and 30-day readmissions
(2019-07-01)
This thesis examines Ontario adults with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), to identify traumatic brain injury (TBI) incidence and the impact of TBI history on 30-day readmissions.
Objectives: ...
Development and pilot of a survey to build capacity for examining interactions of constraints to sport participation among adolescent girls
(2019-11-01)
Sport participation (SP) declines among girls during adolescence, and though many constraints to SP have been identified, it is not known whether or how they interact. The purpose of this thesis was to develop a survey ...
A feasibility study of an eHealth intervention for dietary sodium reduction in primary care
(2019-08-01)
This thesis assessed the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) protocol to implement a Sodium Calculator (SC) into primary care settings to determine if it improves quality of sodium reduction advice provided ...
Integrated topology optimization design and process planning for additive manufacturing
(2019-08-01)
Industry 4.0 demands that the systems and processes in today’s product design and manufacturing not just be automated, but to be robust and containing many feedback mechanisms which enables it to be self-correcting. The ...
Simulation of microgrid system and low-cost wireless communication network
(2019-08-01)
The MATLAB/SIMULINK model of a microgrid system is presented in this thesis. The microgrid consists of a converter-fed distributed generator photovoltaic array with maximum power point tracking, a converter-fed battery ...
Development of an obstacle detection and navigation system for autonomous powered wheelchairs
(2019-05-01)
This thesis describes the development and prototyping of an after market system to convert an electric powered wheelchair into an autonomous wheelchair. The purpose of this research is to automatize powered wheelchairs for ...
Experimental investigation of photocatalytic hydrogen production with boron-doped TiO2 and multi-walled carbon nanotubes-TiO2
(2019-04-01)
This thesis investigates photocatalytic hydrogen production by performing an experimental study using a small-scale photochemical cell which splits water to hydrogen and oxygen by UV light irradiated boron-doped TiO2 and ...
Controlling the Vienna rectifier using a simplified space vector pulse width modulation technique
(2019-11-01)
In this thesis, a simplified Space-Vector Pulse-Width-Modulation (SVPWM) technique for the Vienna rectifier is introduced to reduce the computational burden, the switching losses and the Total-Harmonic-Distortion (THD). ...
