Nonlinear vibration and frequency response analysis of piezoelectric-based nanotube resonators
(2015-04-01)
To study the vibration behaviour of nanotube-based structures, different models of nanotubes under the effects of piezoelectric layer, intermediate mass, fluid flow and structure curvature are developed. The frequency ...
Electrochemical analysis of CuCl/HCl electrolyser
(2015-10-01)
This thesis presents an electrochemical study on a CuCl/HCl electrolyser which is the hydrogen generation step of the CuCl thermochemical hydrogen production cycle. The anode electrolyte is solution of 2 mol.l−1 CuCl(aq) ...
Optimal farm design with parabolic shape photovoltaic panels using multi-objective optimization
(2015-04-01)
To acquire the maximum efficiency for solar electricity conversion, a solar panel has to absorb nearly every single photon of light emitted from the sun. The shape of the solar panel itself plays an important role in ...
Experimental and numerical quantification of EV and PHEV battery pack thermal isolation strategies
(2015-10-30)
The objective of this thesis is to quantify the effects of passive thermal management achieved through augmenting thermal isolation incorporated into an electrified vehicle’s energy storage system by design. Temperature ...
Design and simulation of MEMS-based insulin micro-pump with integrated micro-needle array
(2015-11-01)
One of the most effective treatments for diabetes type 1 and 2 is the administering Insulin. Single needle mechanical insulin pumps are heavy and painful. A generation of micro-needle-based MEMS-based drug delivery devices ...
Design and control of FACTS-based high performance microgrid
(2015-12-01)
The current power grid introduces many limitations and challenges in a world that is heavily dependent on electricity. Many government agencies, utility companies, researchers and engineers in the electric power industry ...
Modeling and multi-objective optimization of a photovoltaic-thermal based multigeneration system
(2015-01-01)
In this thesis, a novel multi generation integrated system is introduced, analyzed and optimized. It consists of GaAs based PV (Photo-Voltaic) arrays connected in series. Light is being concentrated on those arrays using ...
Adaptive IEEE 802.15.4e LLDN scheduler for wireless network control systems
(2015-12-01)
An active area of research in the automotive research community is the stability of
Long Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) using active trailer steering and/or braking. These
LCVs rely on sensor data located across different ...
Key performance indicators modeling for optimized microgrid configuration
(2015-11-01)
Distribution system is so vulnerable to failures. These failures can be the result of natural or manmade threats. Blackouts are one of the distribution systems failures. Many people can be affected by blackouts. Therefore, ...
A study of MHD and Monte Carlo simulations of high-current plasma beams in industrial applications
(2015-12-01)
In recent years, high-current plasma beams have been widely applied in industrial applications. Computational approaches help us easily understand plasma properties. In this thesis, the high-current plasma beams are simulated ...
