Leadership based multi-objective optimization with applications in energy systems.
(2013-12-01)
Multi-objective optimization metaheuristics (MOMs) are powerful methods for solving complex optimization problems but can require a large number of function evaluations to find optimal solutions. Thus, an efficient ...
Experimental investigation and modeling of integrated tri-generation systems.
(2013-09-01)
Energy demand in the world is increasing with population growth and higher living standards. Today, the need for energy requires a focus on renewable sources without abandoning fossil fuels. Efficient use of energy is one ...
Investigation of energy storage options for thermal management in hybrid electric vehicles
(2013-01-01)
Electric and hybrid electric vehicles could have a significant role in the sustainable transportation. Higher power density lead to extra heat generation and thermal runaway in the Li-ion cells. Therefore, a successful ...
Design, analysis and optimization of novel photo electrochemical hydrogen production systems
(2013-04-01)
Hydrogen is a green-energy carrier with a high heat of combustion. If obtained from renewable sources, it could be the ultimate and environmentally benign solution for the future energy requirements. This thesis presents ...
Experimental design, analysis and improvement of a Marnoch Heat Engine with heat recovery.
(2013-01-01)
This research examines the prototyping of a Marnoch Heat Engine (MHE) and
conducts thermodynamic and heat transfer analyses of this heat engine with a waste heat
recovery system. The heat source for the MHE can be low ...
