Integration of heterogeneous data types using self organizing maps
(2009-07-01)
With the growth of computer networks and the advancement of hardware technologies, unprecedented access to data volumes become accessible in a distributed fashion forming heterogeneous data sources. Understanding and ...
Thermodynamic analysis of molten carbonate fuel cell systems
(2008-12-01)
This study deals with the thermodynamic analysis of a molten carbonate fuel cell
(MCFC) hybrid system to determine its efficiencies, irreversibilities and performance.The analysis includes a performance investigation of ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Decentralized state-space controller design of a large PHWR
(2009-11-01)
The behaviour of a large nuclear reactor can be described with sufficient accuracy using a nodal model, like the spatial model of a 540 MWe large Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor (PHWR). This model divides the reactor into ...
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) ...
Effects of blade configuration on flow distribution and power output of a zephyr vertical axis wind turbine.
(2008-07-01)
Worldwide interest in renewable energy systems has increased dramatically, due to environmental concerns like climate change and other factors. Wind power is a major source of sustainable energy, and can be harvested using ...
