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 ...
Development and analysis of active rear axle steering for 8x8 combat vehicle
(2018-08-01)
This thesis proposes and compares multiple vehicle dynamics controllers using rear axle steering of an 8x8 combat vehicle. The controllers are assessed on ability to increase maneuverability at low speed, increase stability ...
Integrated topology optimization design and process planning for additive manufacturing
(2019-08-01)
Industry 4.0 demands that the systems and processes in today’s product design and manufacturing not just be automated, but to be robust and containing many feedback mechanisms which enables it to be self-correcting. The ...
Development and assessment of renewable energy based integrated systems for dimethyl ether production
(2018-12-01)
Dimethyl-ether (DME) is considered to be one of the most promising, renewable alternative fuels. This thesis studies, develops, analyzes and assesses the performance of three dimethyl-ether production integrated systems, ...
Development of active trailer steering systems for pickup truck-trailer combinations
(2019-08-01)
Lateral dynamics of articulated vehicles continue to remain a subject of concern in the design of safety systems. Vehicle-trailer combinations tend to exhibit low lateral stability and poor maneuverability, especially under ...
Influence of forced convection on sessile droplet evaporation
(2019-04-01)
Evaporation is a phase change process with potential for achieving large heat transfer rates under high air temperatures due to the latent heat of vaporization. Bioin-spired artificial perspiration systems can leverage the ...
Design and analysis of active aerodynamic control systems for increasing the safety of high-speed road vehicles
(2019-07-01)
The lateral stability and the safety of road vehicles is dependent on the vehicle design and operating conditions. Under operating conditions such as slippery roads, high lateral acceleration and tight cornering, the forces ...
Influence of sinusoidal motion on Stirling engines
(2018-12-01)
Stirling engines have a high potential to produce renewable energy due to their ability to use a wide range of sustainable heat sources and their high theoretical efficiencies. They have not yet achieved widespread use and ...
Analytical modelling of annular flow magnetorheological valves for advanced fluid control
(2019-08-01)
Magnetorheological valves have the potential to disrupt the fluid control industry with their numerous advantages over mechanical valves. The current design and development process of these valves largely leverages computer ...
Life cycle assessment of conventional and alternative fuels for vehicles
(2018-08-01)
For the near future, it is important that vehicles are run by alternative fuels. Before we can go ahead with the new alternatives, it is crucial that a comprehensive life cycle analysis is carried out for fuels. In this ...
