Investigation of a novel high temperature solid oxide electrolyzer for solar hydrogen production
(2017-04-01)
This thesis proposes and investigates a new generation of photoelectrochemical cells for solar hydrogen production based on high temperature Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells. Therefore, a set of experiments are designed to ...
Intelligent integration of prosumers with battery energy storage in smart distribution systems using optimal design and a transactive energy framework
(2018-06-01)
A legacy electric power distribution system is characterized by a unidirectional power flow from centralized power plants to customers. The role of these customers has been known for many years as power consumers and not ...
Development and modeling of novel battery thermal management systems for electric and hybrid electric vehicles
(2019-04-01)
Thermal management system is necessary to control the operating temperature of the lithium ion batteries in battery packs for electrical and hybrid electrical vehicles. This thesis studies, develops and models novel battery ...
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 ...
An AFE based embedded system for physiological computing
(2019-11-01)
The present hospital-based health care system will be burdened because of the growing aging population. Aging and stress result in cardiovascular diseases that cost around seventeen million lives globally every year. To ...
Design and characterization of next-generation tissue equivalent proportional counters for use in low energy neutron fields
(2014-04-01)
Tissue Equivalent Proportional Counters (TEPCs) are devices that can measure the radiation dose levels for the mixed neutron and gamma ray fields that are encountered in nuclear facilities. TEPC designs typically consist ...
Development, optimization and simulation of hybrid electric heavy duty truck with self-propelled trailer.
(2014-11-01)
The hybrid electric drivetrain has significant ability to reduce fuel consumption and
increase the efficiency. The application of this type of drivetrain has been investigated for
different vehicle models. The hybridization ...
Torque control strategy for off-road vehicle mobility.
(2014-11-01)
Multi-wheeled off-road vehicles behavior depend not only on the total provided power by the engine but also on the power distribution among the drive axles/wheels. In turn, this distribution is primarily regulated by the ...
Multiphase flow and chemical reactor thermodynamics for hydrolysis and thermochemical production
(2012-08-01)
Current techniques of hydrogen production (primarily reformation of fossil fuels) are
unsustainable, releasing CO2 into the atmosphere, as well as consuming limited reserves
of fossil fuels. The copper-chlorine cycle is a ...
Ultrasonic array imaging for multi-layer materials in non-destructive testing applications.
(2014-12-01)
Ultrasonic imaging for a multi-layer medium is a common challenge in seismology,
medical diagnosis, and non-destructive testing. One application for multi-layer imaging
is ultrasonic immersion test where the material ...
