Mass transfer and particle dissolution in liquid-gas and solid-liquid flows: Application to hydrogen production processes.
(2013-10-01)
Many environmental problems are related to the production, transformation and use
of energy. Some of the concerns include, but are not limited to, acid rain, ozone depletion
and climate change. Therefore, “greener” ...
Investigation of novel ammonia production options using photoelectrochemical hydrogen
(2017-01-01)
Hydrogen and ammonia are two of the most significant clean fuels, energy carriers and storage media in the near future. Production of these chemicals are desired to be environmentally friendly. Renewable energy, in particular ...
Exergy and exergoeconomic analyses and optimization of thermal management systems in electric and hybrid electric vehicles
(2012-01-01)
With the recent improvements in battery technologies, in terms of energy density, cost and size,
the electric (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) technologies have shown that they can
compete with conventional vehicles ...
Design, analysis and experimental investigation of a new scroll expander based trigeneration system
(2014-01-01)
Current technologies of using conventional energy produce a large amount of waste heat which can potentially be recovered in the form of useful work to use in our day to day life. This initiative not only optimizes the ...
Conceptual development and analysis of sustainable powering options for hybrid vehicles
(2018-02-01)
Hydrogen and ammonia are the carbon-free fuels that have the potential to replace the fossil fuels in the near future. In addition, they can also act as energy carriers and storage media for many applications; particularly ...
Access control obligation specification and enforcement using behavior pattern language
(2018-01-01)
Increasing the use of Internet-based devices offers novel opportunities for users
to access and share resources anywhere and anytime so that such a collaborative
environment complicates the design of an accountable ...
Flow-sound interaction mechanism of a single finned cylinder in cross-flow
(2017-04-01)
The flow-sound interaction mechanism of a single finned cylinder in cross-flow is experimentally investigated and compared to that resulting from an equivalent bare cylinder. The flow field changes that result from the ...
Automated wavelet-based fault detection and diagnosis for smart distribution systems and microgrids
(2017-08-01)
The legacy electric power system is defined as a one-way power flow from a centralized
power generation plant to customers (consumers). In the smart distribution systems, the customers
are allowed to produce electricity ...
Wireless transmission with energy harvesting and storage
(2017-01-01)
In this dissertation, online power control strategies are proposed for wireless communication
systems equipped with energy harvesting devices and finite-capacity batteries. The
methods are proposed for the unbounded ...
Analysis and design of computationally efficient modulation schemes for Three Phase Three Switch rectifier for transportation electrification
(2018-02-01)
It is a well-known fact that the transportation sector emits a large amount of pollutants to the atmosphere. The growing need for reducing the carbon footprint has led to sincere efforts being made in the direction of ...
