Development of a heat-transfer correlation for supercritical water in supercritical water-cooled reactor applications
(2009-12-01)
A large set of experimental data, obtained in Russia, was analyzed and a new heat-transfer correlation for supercritical water was developed. This experimental dataset was obtained within conditions similar to those for ...
Rapid rotational foam molding of integral skin polypropylene cellular composites
(2009-05-01)
Rapid Rotational Foam Molding (RRFM) is a novel patent-pending process that was
designed and developed to maximize the synergistic effects resulting from the deliberate
combination of extrusion and rotational foam molding ...
Research on remote control of reconfigurable modular robotic system
(2009-08-01)
Serial manipulators, which have large work space with respect to their own volume
and occupied floor space, are the most common industrial robots by far. However, in
many environments the situation is unstructured and less ...
Analysis of hydrodynamic phenomena in a fluidized bed for thermochemical hydrogen production
(2008-04-01)
This thesis examines transport phenomena of cupric chloride (CuCI2) hydrolysis within a fluidized bed. Conversions of CuCi2 and steam as a fluidizing gas are numerically investigated using a new non-catalytic gas-solid ...
Modeling and vibration analysis of a rocking–mass gyroscope system
(2008-04-01)
Rocking-mass gyroscope consists of an assembly of four cantilever beams with a rigid mass attached to them in the middle subjected to base rotations. Due to the gyroscope effect, the beams undergo coupled flexural-torsional ...
Design and analysis of the three degrees of freedom parallel kinematic machine
(2008-08-01)
The thesis is about design and analysis of a PKM with 3 DOF. The new PKM is designed as a machine tool in various applications in manufacturing. The PKM is optimized based on the developed stiffness model. Kinematics and ...
Design and development of a novel omni-directional platform
(2009-08-01)
This thesis presents the design and development of a unique omni-directional platform
known as the Omnibot which was built in the Mechatronic and Robotic Systems
Laboratory at UOIT. The Omnibot's layout is novel because ...
Design and development of a novel lightweight long-reach composite robotic arm
(2009-08-01)
Metallic robotic arms, or manipulators, currently dominate automated industrial operations, but
due to their intrinsic weight, have limited usefulness for large-scale applications in terms of
precision, speed, and ...
Rapid rotational foam molding of polyethylene integral-skin foamed core moldings
(2009-06-01)
This thesis focuses on the design, development, and evolution of a novel patent-pending
plastic processing technology entitled “Rapid Rotational Foam Molding” with special
emphasis on the processing of polyethylene (PE) ...
Novel tele-operation of mobile-manipulator systems
(2009-08-01)
A novel algorithm for the simplified tele-operation of mobile-manipulator systems is
presented. The algorithm allows for unified, intuitive, and coordinated control of
mobile manipulators, systems comprised of a robotic ...
