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 ...
Design and implementation of a single phase modified Z-source inverter topology for photovoltaic/grid interconnected DC charging applications
(2018-03-01)
Solar energy has been the most popular sources of renewable energy for residential and
semi-commercial applications. Solar energy sources alone cannot be used to charge an
electric vehicle (EV). Solar/Grid interconnected ...

(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 ...
Investigation of sustainable hydrogen production from steam biomass gasification
(2010-12-01)
Hydrogen is a by-product of the gasification process and it is environmentally friendly with respect to pollution and emission issues when it is derived from a CO2-neutral resource such as biomass. It is an energy carrier ...
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 ...
