Development of novel energy systems for LNG locomotives
(2015-04-01)
The use of diesel in the railway sector brings challenges to the engineers to meet the current emissions standards set by governments. This thesis addresses potential solutions to overcome the emissions problems in the ...
A framework for integrating wireless sensors and cloud computing
(2015-01-01)
Wireless sensors generate a large volume of data that require a highly scalable framework that enables storage, processing, and analysis. Cloud computing technology can provide unlimited storage in addition to a flexible ...
Development and optimization of a wide base FEA truck tire model for prediction of tire-road interactions
(2015-04-01)
The most important aspect of any land-type vehicle is the efficiency in which it can translate
energy from an engine, motor, or external source to the ground in an effort to move.
Currently, the most efficient way to do ...
Performance and emission characteristics of natural gas combined cycle power generation system with steam injection and oxyfuel combustion.
(2014-08-01)
Natural gas combined cycle power generation systems are gaining popularity due to their high power generation efficiency and reduced emission. In the present work, combined cycle power generation configuration systems ...
Front underride protection devices: methods for design and testing
(2014-04-01)
Improvements to highway safety are in continual demand. One of the most severe instances of vehicle collision occurs as a result of vehicle weight and sizing mismatch. The fitment of Front Underride Protection Devices ...
Experimental and numerical investigation of the dynamic seat comfort in aircrafts.
(2013-12-01)
This research focuses on the dynamic seat comfort in aircrafts specifically during takeoff, landing and cruise through turbulence flight conditions. The experiments are performed using a multi axis shaker table in the ...
Power allocation in energy harvesting two-way relay systems
(2015-04-01)
In this thesis, we consider two-way relaying in a wireless communication system with two transceivers and one relay node. In such a model, two scenarios are taken into account: a system with one energy harvesting (EH) relay ...
Analysis of heat transfer and fluid flow in an evaporating sessile droplet for evaporative cooling applications
(2015-08-01)
Cooling is of critical importance for a number of fields, particularly in microelectronic
devices and other miniaturized technology. The evaporation of the sessile liquid
droplet facilitates the phase change of that liquid ...
Sum-rate optimal network beamforming and power allocation for single-carrier asynchronous bidirectional relay network
(2015-08-01)
We study the problem of sum-rate maximization, under a total transmit power budget,
for an asynchronous single-carrier bidirectional (two-way) network. The network consists
of two single-antenna transceivers which wish to ...
