Development and experimental investigation of new self-can cooling systems
(2014-04-01)
In this thesis, two conceptual self-cooling beverage can designs are proposed. The methods of cooling are validated experimentally and certain parameters of interested are obtained for an analytical and numerical study of ...
Development and analysis of a solar-based integrated system with a CO2 Rankine power cycle
(2013-10-01)
The current work is a thermodynamic-based design and analysis of a solar-based
integrated system for power production. In this regards, a reheat supercritical carbon
dioxide (S-CO2) Rankine cycle is proposed. This cycle ...
Design considerations for fixed node assisted multi-hop mobile sensor networks
(2015-10-01)
Node mobility in Wireless Sensor Network poses a challenge to the routing protocol; it causes link breakages and disconnections between the nodes. This instability in the network leads to a drop in the successful transmission ...
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 ...
A directional preference ETX measure for the collection tree protocol in mobile sensor networks
(2018-01-01)
There has been a growing interest in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) that utilizes mobile nodes for various purposes. These mobile wireless sensor networks tend to suffer from constant link breakages mainly caused by connected ...
Cooperative relay beamforming design for multi-cluster relay interference networks
(2016-08-01)
In this work, we consider a multi-cluster amplified-and-forward (AF) relay interference
network and design relay beam matrix for each cluster to maximize the minimum
signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) at ...
Power-optimal network beamforming in single-carrier asynchronous two-way relay networks
(2015-09-01)
In this thesis, we consider a single-carrier asynchronous two-way relay network, where the relays employ amplify-and-forward (AF) signaling in a multiple access broadcast channel (MABC) protocol to enable a bi-directional ...
Novel intelligent control techniques in solar-based energy harvesting systems
(2015-10-01)
The sun is considered a precious source of energy. Much research has been done to increase our usage from solar energy since it is a renewable source and, most importantly, it is free and green. However in order to use ...
Analysis and optimization of fuel cell based integrated powering systems for clean rail applications
(2019-08-01)
In this thesis, proposals of novel integrated fuel cell powering systems for cleaner railway applications are presented and analyzed thermodynamically. Both energy and exergy analyses are conducted on these systems for ...
Design and development of hydrophobic and protective polymer-based spray coatings for treating glass surfaces in building and automotive applications
(2019-08-01)
Glass surfaces in buildings and vehicles are susceptible to two common problems: unrestricted energy transmittance of light-waves resulting in increased HVAC costs, and reduced visibility as a consequence of wetting during ...
