Risk-modeling tools for designing resilient micro energy grids
(2019-03-01)
Micro energy grid (MEG) is widely used to meet the combined electricity, heating, cooling and natural gas demands for numerous customers’ types. Design of MEGs were extensively introduced in numerous articles, however ...
Power efficient designs for 5G wireless networks
(2021-01-01)
In this dissertation, to step forward towards green communication, we study power efficient solutions in three potential 5G wireless networks, namely an asynchronous multicarrier two-way Amplify-and-Forward (AF) relay ...
Development and analysis of alternative thermochemical cycles for hydrogen production
(2021-12-01)
Production of carbon-free fuels as alternatives for fossil fuels is a promising approach for controlling climate change and global warming. Hydrogen is considered as the key energy carrier of the future when it is produced ...
A system framework for non-intrusive monitoring of HMI states for detecting human-in-the-loop error precursors
(2020-04-01)
Past industrial accidents suggest that increased automation has had an adverse effect on operator situational awareness (SA) and Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) errors. More so, any current automation is not yet capable of providing ...
Modeling and analysis of truck tire-terrain interaction
(2020-04-01)
One of the key factors for improving the mobility and operating efficiency of trucks is the understanding of the tire-terrain interaction characteristics. Due to the broad range of terrains that trucks may operate over, ...
Toward enhancement of evolutionary multi- and many-objective optimization: algorithms, performance metrics, and visualization techniques
(2017-12-01)
In the last three decades, the focus of multi-criteria optimization has been solving problems containing two or three objectives. However, real-world problems generally involve multiple stakeholders and functionalities ...
Analysis of the thermal hydraulics of a multiphase oxygen production reactor in the Cu-Cl cycle
(2016-06-01)
In the thermochemical water splitting process by Cu-Cl cycle, oxygen gas is produced by an endothermic thermolysis process in a three-phase reactor. In this thesis, the required heat for the thermolysis process is provided ...
Development of a new hybrid photochemical/electrocatalytic water splitting reactor for hydrogen production: design, analysis and experiments
(2012-01-01)
Solar-driven water splitting combines several attractive features for sustainable
energy utilization. The conversion of solar energy to a type of storable energy has crucial
importance. An alternative method to hydrogen ...
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 ...
Development of thermoplastic foams with heterogeneous cellular structures for acoustic applications
