Effect of diameter ratios on the flow-sound interaction of the straight circular finned cylinders
(2020-01-01)
Finned tubes that are widely used in heat exchangers could be susceptible to the flow-excited acoustic resonance that generates intense pressure fluctuations, which may lead to premature fatigue failure of the tubes. This ...
Development and validation of an Active Grille Shutter testing platform
(2020-09-01)
In this thesis, a testbench is developed for testing the functionality of Active Grille Shutters (AGS) and radiators in wind tunnels. Additionally, a generic pressure plate is designed to mimic commercial radiators, and a ...
Analysis and techniques of data compression in smart grids in the context of IEC 61850 communication protocol
(2020-02-01)
A smart grid is characterized by a two-way communication between the generation and the loads in addition to the distributed energy resources, which dictated the integration of smart monitoring devices to achieve full ...
Design, analysis, and control of switched supercapacitor banks for e-transportation electric energy storage systems
(2020-07-01)
The hybridization of supercapacitors (SCs) with batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) improves the battery life, acceleration, and driving range. However, the efficiency of the power interface that unites the batteries and ...
