A reliability-aware framework for service-based software development
(2017-01-01)
It is becoming common to see software applications taking advantage of web services available publicly to meet their needs, rather than developing an in-house solution. This introduces the problem where failures can occur ...
Analysis and feasibility of an evaporative cooling system with sessile droplet evaporation to provide cooling for microprocessors
(2017-04-01)
The study investigates the cooling requirements for the Intel Xenon Processor and the Intel Core i7-900 Processor using diffusion based evaporation of sessile droplets. An analytical model is developed to determine the ...
Thermal network model development for an extended range electric vehicle battery pack with experimental verification through dynamic environmental exposure
(2017-01-01)
The objective was to develop a thermal model of the Chevrolet Volt battery pack, with focused on the influence of packaging components external to the cell modules, and on the pack’s response to ambient environmental ...
Partial separation of an azeotropic mixture of hydrogen chloride and water and copper (ii) chloride recovery for optimization of the copper-chlorine cycle
(2017-09-01)
An atmospheric-pressure distillation system is designed and constructed to partially separate hydrochloric acid and water. The system concentrates HCl(aq) between the electrolyzer and hydrolysis steps of the Copper-Chlorine ...
Modelling, inspection, and post-processing of layer-based additive manufacturing surfaces to maintain product quality
(2017-04-01)
Today’s Additive Manufacturing (AM) is mostly layer-based. Despite AM’s great capabilities in fabrication of complex geometries, product’s surface roughness is a limiting factor in many industrial applications. Therefore, ...
Development of a new integrated sustainability assessment model for energy systems
(2017-07-01)
This thesis presents a novel and comprehensive sustainability assessment model for energy systems. The model features an integrated approach and encompasses various multi-disciplinary areas of study, which influence energy ...
Prediction of the off-road rigid-ring model parameters for truck tire and soft soil interactions
(2017-07-01)
Significant time and cost savings can be realized through the use of virtual simulation of testing procedures across diverse areas of research and development. Fully detailed virtual truck models using the simplified ...
Design and analysis of a thermolysis reactor for scaled-up copper-chlorine hydrogen production cycle
(2017-12-01)
Alternative hydrogen production methods are being explored with the goal of
finding efficient and economical process. The copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle for
hydrogen production has been the focus of the Clean Energy ...
Energy and exergy analyses of multigenerational integrated systems with geothermal and solar energy sources
(2017-12-01)
The world population growth leads to a large demand of the different forms of energy. The challenges will be focusing on the discovery of new technologies that will satisfy to the demand and the production of energy that ...
