Development of a new integrated sustainability assessment model for energy systems
(2017-07-01)
This thesis presents a novel and comprehensive sustainability assessment model for energy systems. The model features an integrated approach and encompasses various multi-disciplinary areas of study, which influence energy ...
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 ...
Tissue segmentation using medical image processing chain optimization
(2016-08-01)
Surveyed literature shows many segmentation algorithms using different types of optimization methods. These methods were used to minimize or maximize objective functions of entropy, similarity, clustering, contour, or ...
Investigation of copper deposition on steel in molten copper chloride
(2018-01-01)
Hydrogen is considered as the most prominent candidate for clean energy generation. The Copper Chloride (Cu-Cl) cycle has been chosen as an effective cycle for production of hydrogen due to its comparatively lower operating ...
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 ...
Development and application of an integrated aerodynamic and thermodynamic testing system for cars
(2015-06-01)
In this thesis an integrated aerodynamic and thermodynamic testing system was developed. It consists of an incremental force measuring system (FMS) that was designed and constructed. In addition, a testing protocol was ...
Development and investigation of alkaline electrolyte based direct ammonia fuel cells
(2018-01-01)
In the present thesis study, alkaline electrolyte based direct ammonia fuel cells are developed, and their performances are evaluated through various parameters and efficiencies, such as open circuit voltages, polarization ...
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 drying conditions for dental practice loads
(2019-04-01)
This thesis investigates different drying techniques for dental practice loads experimentally and numerically. Several experiments are carried out by changing both top and bottom wall temperatures while changing the ranges ...
Customized topology optimization for additive manufacturing
(2019-08-01)
One of the biggest limitations of additive manufacturing (AM) is the resulting production times. Due to the layer-based method of material deposition, the time to produce a single part is substantial compared to techniques ...
