Development and experimental analysis of a novel hybrid cooling concept for electric vehicle batteries
(2018-03-01)
In this thesis, a novel hybrid cooling concept for electric batteries is developed and studied at both the cell-level and pack-level experiments. The concept is based on a simple air-cooling duct that utilizes enhanced ...
Development of an integrated inspection system for additive and subtractive hybrid manufacturing
(2018-01-01)
Using closed-loop inspection systems to modify coordinate metrology tasks for specific engineering applications has been a demanding research subject over the last decade. The objective of this thesis is to develop an ...
Investigation of a SPH-based sub-cell homogenization for PHWR using a multi-cell model
(2018-06-01)
Superhomogenization (SPH) has gained interest in the industry as a possible method to overcome the inherent limitations of standard homogenization (SH) for full nuclearreactor-core neutronics calculations because its ...
Thermal management of the thermochemical Cu-Cl cycle linked with industrial processes for hydrogen production
(2018-04-01)
This thesis study develops, analyzes and evaluates three integrated systems using process heats available in industrial applications for hydrogen production via copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle. The first system consists of ...
Passive damping mechanism of Herschel-Quincke tubes for pressure pulsations in piping systems
(2018-12-01)
The acoustic pressure pulsations in industrial piping systems can induce fluctuating loads on inline equipment which may cause fatigue failure and in severe cases, initiate a phenomenon known as acoustic resonance. Passive ...
Design and analysis of an active underbody aerodynamic device for tractor trailers
(2018-04-01)
At highway speeds, up to 65 % of the total energy used by large trucks is for overcoming aerodynamic drag. The underbody region of a tractor-trailer is responsible for up to 30 % of the aerodynamic drag on tractor-trailers, ...
Active balancing of lithium-ion cells for maximum power discharging
(2018-07-01)
The future of Electric Vehicle’s (EV) depends on the adoption of the technology. Currently the limiting factor for EV adoption is mainly the initial cost, the driving range, charging capability, and the battery life. The ...
Low complexity multicast beamforming in massive MIMO multi-cell networks
(2018-08-01)
In this thesis, we consider downlink multicast beamforming in massive multi-input multi-
output (MIMO) multi-cell networks. Both non-cooperative and cooperative beamforming scenarios are considered. For the non-cooperative ...
High-speed lateral stability analysis of articulated heavy vehicles using driver-in-the-loop real time simulation
(2018-04-01)
High-speed testing procedures for evaluating the lateral stability of multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles (MTAHV) include the use of both an open-loop and a closed-loop maneuvers as specified in ISO-14791. The standard ...
Building an on-ball screen dataset using supervised and unsupervised learning
(2018-09-01)
Applications of statistics and machine learning in sports analytics have made significant advances since the early days of Bill James' publication, Baseball Analyst. In the publication, analysts and researchers would ...
