Development, analysis and life cycle assessment of integrated systems for hydrogen production based on the copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle
(2013-08-01)
The energy carrier hydrogen is expected to help solve many energy challenges we are facing today. Thermochemical water splitting using a Cu-Cl cycle, linked with renewable energy sources and/or the Generation IV nuclear ...
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 ...
Experimental investigation and analyses of continuous type hybrid photoelectrochemical hydrogen production systems
(2016-01-01)
Hydrogen is a highly versatile energy carrier that may become one of the key pillars to support the future CO2-free energy infrastructure. When used in fuel cells, H2 is converted to water and it gives little or zero exhaust ...
Coordinated control of active safety systems for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles
(2016-06-01)
To improve the directional performance of multitrailer articulated heavy vehicles (MTAHVs), the
model-based active safety systems, including the active trailer steering, trailer differential braking
and the active roll ...
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 ...
Design and implementation of an inductive power transfer system for wireless charging of future electric transportation
(2016-08-01)
The motivation of this thesis was to formulate clear design guidelines for fabrication and control of an efficient series-series resonant inductive power transfer (SS-RIPT) system for electric vehicle battery charging ...
Analysis and evaluation of transactive energy control in active distribution systems
(2016-10-01)
The electric power distribution system is experiencing significant operational changes due to the integration of plug-in electric vehicles and intermittent distributed energy resources such as rooftop solar photovoltaics. ...
Analysis, assessment and optimization of biomass mixed heavy-oil driven integrated gasification combined cycle for multigeneration
(2017-11-01)
There has been increasing interest in employing Integrated Gasification Combined Cycles (IGCC) using various biomasses and low-rank coals for producing multiple outputs. The most of the existing IGCC plants do not conserve ...
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 ...
