Development of a point-kinetics simulator for molten-salt reactors
(2022-08-01)
Molten-salt-fueled reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors that use a mixture of fissile material and molten fluoride salts as both fuel and primary coolant. Such reactors, which can operate at low pressure and high ...
Collision detection in smart-cities by using co-simulation
(2022-11-01)
Road traffic has become prominent in everyday living, impacting or disrupting services to people and daily routines. With the rise in automobile manufacturing and the frequency of vehicle crashes, human catastrophes, like ...
Comparative economic analysis of conventional and plug-in battery electric vehicles in Canada
(2022-12-01)
Conventional vehicles typically use gasoline for their internal combustion engines (ICEs). On the other hand, plug-in battery electric vehicles (PBEVs) use electricity to charge their batteries, so they do not need gasoline. ...
Defect detection using 3D computed tomography images and application on nuclear power plants
(2022-12-01)
Tools used in nuclear power plant (NPP) inspection are required to be inspected before and after use on a reactor to check their integrity. To address the long duration required for manual inspection, non-destructive testing ...
Design synthesis of NLMPC-based tracking controller for autonomous vehicles with active aerodynamic control
(2022-12-01)
The past three decades have witnessed extensive studies on tracking-control for autonomous vehicles (AVs). However, there is a lack of studies on effective design methods in this field. To tackle this problem, this thesis ...
