A geophysical and biochemical investigation of buried remains in contrasting soil textures in southern Ontario
(2010-08-01)
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a non-invasive, geophysical tool used for the
detection of clandestine graves. GPR operates by detecting density differences in soil by
the transmission of high frequency electromagnetic ...
Conversion of a scroll compressor to an expander for organic Rankine cycle: modeling and analysis

Conversion of a scroll compressor to an expander for organic Rankine Cycle: modeling and analysis
Profile extrusion of wood plastic cellular composites and formulation evaluation using compression molding
(2010-05-01)
Wood Plastic Composites (WPCs) have experienced a healthy growth during the last decade. However, improvement in properties is necessary to increase their utility for structural applications. The toughness of WPCs can be ...
Modeling of voltage source converter based HVDC transmission system in EMTP-RV
(2010-08-01)
Voltage Source Converter (VSC) applications include but are not limited to HVDC, Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices such as STATCOM, SSSC, UPFC and Wind generators and active filters. The VSC based HVDC system ...
Enhancing geothermal heat pump systems with parametric performance analyses
(2010-04-01)
Parametric performance analyses and comparison of a basic geothermal heat pump, a heat pump cycle with motor cooling/refrigerant preheating, and a heat pump cycle utilizing an economizer with respect to first law is conducted ...
Powertrain technology and cost assessment of battery electric vehicles
(2010-04-01)
This thesis takes EV from the late 90’s as a baseline, assess the capability of today’s EV technology, and establishes its near-term and long-term prospects. Simulations are performed to evaluate EVs with different ...
Simulation of voltage source converter based shunt active filter in EMTP‐RV
(2010-08-01)
The deterioration in power quality due to the increase in non linear loads has sparked a new interest
in the filtering techniques used in transmission and distribution systems. Unlike passive filters, active
filters are ...
Integration of component-based frameworks with sensor modeling languages for the sensor web
(2010-08-01)
The goal of this thesis is to develop an easily modifiable sensor system. To achieve this goal SensorML (an XML based sensor language) is combined with Java Beans (a component model language). An important part of SensorML ...
Piezoelectric flexing and output voltage of a microchannel heat engine
(2010-08-01)
In this thesis, a new model is formulated for a piezoelectric membrane and fluid motion in a microchannel heat engine. A new slug flow model is developed for droplet motion in a circular cross-section channel. The model ...
Optomal three-time slot distributed beamforming for two-way relaying
(2010-08-01)
In this study, we consider a relay network, with two transceivers and r relay nodes. We
assume that each of relays and the two transceivers have a single antenna. For establishing
the connection between these two transceivers, ...
