Development of an autonomous omnicopter aerial vehicle
(2016-08-01)
Traditional multirotors and helicopters control translational movement by changing
the orientation of the entire vehicle. This limits the effectiveness of such vehicles in
applications as a mobile manipulator base. In these ...
Conceptual development and analysis of multiple integrated hydrogen production plants with Cu-Cl cycle
(2016-12-01)
This thesis develops and analyzes four hydrogen production integrated energy systems, where hydrogen is produced via hybrid electrical and thermochemical water decomposition cycle, based on the chemical couple Cu-Cl. The ...
Parametric investigation of flow-sound interaction mechanism of circular cylinders in cross-flow
(2016-12-01)
Flow-excited acoustic resonance in heat exchangers has been an ongoing issue for the past century. The main challenge in this issue, is in the actual prediction of the resonance occurrence. This is due to the complexity ...
Development and analysis of a new direct steam generation-based parabolic trough collector power plant hybridized with a biomass boiler
(2016-10-01)
Direct steam generation (DSG) is the process by which steam is directly produced in parabolic trough fields and supplied to a power block. This process simplifies parabolic trough plants and improves cost effectiveness by ...
Evaluation of the effects of molten CuCl on corrosion resistant coatings
(2016-12-01)
The world is facing energy crisis and pollution problems. Clean and renewable energy resources are gaining popularity day by day. Hydrogen is considered as clean energy carrier which is present in on earth in abundance ...
Design of a novel ferrite core based highly efficient wireless resonant inductive power transfer system
(2016-03-01)
Using ferrite magnetic cores improves the efficiency of IPT and magnetic resonance based IPT systems, and can reduce unwanted stray magnetic radiation in addition to improving coupling efficiency. Performance of different ...
Design and validation of high speed active trailer steering system for articulated heavy vehicle
(2016-01-01)
Articulated heavy duty vehicles are widely used around the world for its economic and environmental benefits. A-train double is one of the most popular heavy duty vehicles in Canada. Despite its advantages, the spread of ...
Sum-rate maximization for two-way active channel with unequal subchannel noise powers
(2016-06-01)
Wireless parallel channels refer to certain wireless links, where the information is conveyed from a source to a destination through a set of parallel orthogonal subchannels. In such channels, the transmitted signals undergo ...
Integration of microwave and millimeter wave bandpass filters with antennas
(2016-07-01)
Filters and antennas are essential elements in communication and radar systems. In a conventional design, antennas and filters are designed independently and then connected together through transitions and/or connectors, ...
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 ...
