Thermodynamic performance evaluation and experimental study of a Marnoch Heat Engine
(2009-10-01)
The Marnoch Heat Engine (MHE) is a recently patented type of new heat engine that
produces electricity from lower temperature heat sources. The MHE utilizes lower
temperature differences to generate electricity than any ...
Transient heat transfer analysis of heat exchangers in a Marnoch Heat Engine
(2009-12-01)
The Marnoch heat engine (MHE) is a new type of power generation device that is under research and development at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. In this thesis, the transient heat transfer behaviour of ...
Design of 3-DOF parallel manipulators for micro-motion applications
(2009-08-01)
This thesis presents two unique micro-motion parallel kinematic manipulators (PKM):
a three degrees of freedom (3-DOF) micro-motion manipulator and a 3-DOF micro-motion
manipulator with actuation redundancy. The 3-DOF ...
Joint uplink-downlink beamforming in multi-antenna relaying schemes
(2009-11-01)
The thesis examines the problem of joint receive and transmit beamforming for a wireless
network which consists of one relay node equipped with multiple antennas. The
transmitter and the receiver are single antenna ...
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 ...
Evaporative heat and mass transfer with solubility driven solidification of aqueous droplet flows
(2009-03-01)
Nuclear-based hydrogen production via thermochemical water decomposition using a copper-chlorine cycle consists of a series of chemical reactions that split water into hydrogen and oxygen. This is accomplished through ...
