Conceptual development and analysis of multiple integrated hydrogen production plants with Cu-Cl cycle
(2016-12-01)
This thesis develops and analyzes four hydrogen production integrated energy systems, where hydrogen is produced via hybrid electrical and thermochemical water decomposition cycle, based on the chemical couple Cu-Cl. The ...
Machine learning classifiers for critical cardiac conditions
(2016-04-01)
Cardiac diseases are one of the leading causes of death in Canada. Current methods of diagnosing cardiac conditions require a manual and visual analysis of ECG and heart rate (RR interval) data. In this thesis, novel ...
Optimal temperature range identification for a hydrogen production cycle using genetic algorithm-based Monte Carlo simulation method
(2016-08-01)
Nuclear-based hydrogen generation is accumulating more and more interest, both from academia and industry. In nuclear hydrogen production system based on 4-step Cu-Cl cycle, proper temperature inputs play an essential role ...
Design and validation of high speed active trailer steering system for articulated heavy vehicle
(2016-01-01)
Articulated heavy duty vehicles are widely used around the world for its economic and environmental benefits. A-train double is one of the most popular heavy duty vehicles in Canada. Despite its advantages, the spread of ...
Sum-rate maximization for two-way active channel with unequal subchannel noise powers
(2016-06-01)
Wireless parallel channels refer to certain wireless links, where the information is conveyed from a source to a destination through a set of parallel orthogonal subchannels. In such channels, the transmitted signals undergo ...
Integration of microwave and millimeter wave bandpass filters with antennas
(2016-07-01)
Filters and antennas are essential elements in communication and radar systems. In a conventional design, antennas and filters are designed independently and then connected together through transitions and/or connectors, ...
A framework for provisioning algorithms as a service
(2016-02-01)
Designing, implementing and executing algorithms have become a relevant and important element in various fields. Public users and data researchers are interested in analyzing and interpreting data with shorter execution ...
An openflow-based wireless user management system
(2016-01-01)
The degradation of the end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) on wireless users is becoming a common issue for IEEE 802.11 infrastructure-based networks in crowded areas. In response, network providers usually increase coverage ...
Optimal planning and operation of CHP within micro energy grids
(2016-04-01)
In this study, an optimal planning with respect to capacity sizes and types of prime movers for CHP systems within micro energy grids has been discussed. The objective is to minimize the total net present cost, carbon ...
Parametric investigation of flow-sound interaction mechanism of circular cylinders in cross-flow
(2016-12-01)
Flow-excited acoustic resonance in heat exchangers has been an ongoing issue for the past century. The main challenge in this issue, is in the actual prediction of the resonance occurrence. This is due to the complexity ...
