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 ...
Modeling and experimental investigation of renewable energy and ammonia-based systems for carbon capturing and useful outputs
(2022-04-01)
This thesis work focuses on developing ammonia-based carbon capturing systems that produce useful chemical outputs to offset the energy penalty typically imposed by implementing a carbon capture retrofitting to a power ...
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 ...
Design and implementation of a universal onboard battery fast charger for transportation electrification applications
(2019-07-01)
Electric vehicles (EVs) have signaled a new era in the transportation sector. One key area that is still in development and has a future scope for advancement is the efficient charging systems of the EVs. Due to safety ...
Numerical investigation of the fluidelastic instability of two-phase flow in a parallel triangular tube array
(2021-05-01)
Steam generators are always susceptible to vibrations induced by the flow in either the shell or tube sides. The fluidelastic instability phenomenon (FEI) is considered one of the most devastating flow excitations since ...
A framework for proactive fault tolerance in cloud-IoT applications
(2022-04-01)
Integrating Internet of Things (IoT) devices with the cloud has several benefits, including expanding local IoT resources and improving cloud-IoT application performance. Cloud computing can benefit from IoT devices and ...
Hybrid inductive and capacitive wireless power transfer system for future transportation electrification
(2020-08-01)
The inductive link in wireless power transfer (WPT) fed by various high–frequency power converters is widely accepted for medium power (<50 kW) and medium power transfer distance (100 mm-200 mm) applications due to remarkable ...
Enhancement of lateral stability of car-trailer systems using model-reference adaptive control
(2019-12-01)
Car-Trailer (CT) systems exhibit reduced maneuverability in curved-path negotiations and display low lateral stability under high-speed evasive maneuvers. Therefore, the objective of this thesis is to design a Lyapunov-S ...
A POMDP framework for antenna selection and user scheduling in multi-user massive MIMO systems
(2022-04-01)
We use a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) framework to design a resource allocation policy for downlink transmit beamforming at a multi-antenna BS that is equipped with a massive number of antennas and ...
