Research on remote control of reconfigurable modular robotic system
(2009-08-01)
Serial manipulators, which have large work space with respect to their own volume
and occupied floor space, are the most common industrial robots by far. However, in
many environments the situation is unstructured and less ...
Design and analysis of the three degrees of freedom parallel kinematic machine
(2008-08-01)
The thesis is about design and analysis of a PKM with 3 DOF. The new PKM is designed as a machine tool in various applications in manufacturing. The PKM is optimized based on the developed stiffness model. Kinematics and ...
Analysis of alternative energy options for buildings
(2009-08-01)
The importance of utilizing different types of energy and their technical application
is discussed. Awareness around the globe about the world energy crisis and its critical
environmental condition has put more emphasis ...
Process analysis and aspen plus simulation of nuclear-based hydrogen production with a copper-chlorine cycle
(2008-08-01)
Thermochemical processes for hydrogen production driven by nuclear energy are promising alternatives to existing technologies for large-scale commercial production of hydrogen, without dependence on fossil fuels. In the ...
Thermodynamic analysis of molten carbonate fuel cell systems
(2008-12-01)
This study deals with the thermodynamic analysis of a molten carbonate fuel cell
(MCFC) hybrid system to determine its efficiencies, irreversibilities and performance.The analysis includes a performance investigation of ...
Effects of blade configuration on flow distribution and power output of a zephyr vertical axis wind turbine.
(2008-07-01)
Worldwide interest in renewable energy systems has increased dramatically, due to environmental concerns like climate change and other factors. Wind power is a major source of sustainable energy, and can be harvested using ...
Design and development of an extended range electric bywire/wireless hybrid vehicle with a near wheel motor drivetrain
(2009-05-01)
With automobile propulsion energy sources turning away from petroleum, the evolution
of technology naturally lends itself to electrical hybrid vehicle architectures relying on
alternatives as a primary electrical energy ...
Design and development of an automated uranium pellet stacking system
(2009-06-01)
A novel design for an automated uranium pellet stacking system is presented. This
system is designed to replace the manual method for stacking uranium pellets for
CANDU fuel bundles that is currently used at Cameco Fuel ...
Energy, exergy and cost analyses of nuclear-based hydrogen production via thermochemical water decomposition using a copper-chlorine (Cu-CI) cycle
(2008-04-01)
In this thesis the Copper-Chlorine (Cu-CI) thermochemical cycle and its components as well as operational and environmental conditions are defined, and a comprehensive thermodynamic analysis of a Cu-CI thermochemical cycle, ...
Analysis of hydrodynamic phenomena in a fluidized bed for thermochemical hydrogen production
(2008-04-01)
This thesis examines transport phenomena of cupric chloride (CuCI2) hydrolysis within a fluidized bed. Conversions of CuCi2 and steam as a fluidizing gas are numerically investigated using a new non-catalytic gas-solid ...
