Thermo-Economic Analysis of Organic Rankine Power Cycles Using Parabolic Trough Solar Technology
(2018-12)
Diversifying into several renewable energy resources has become the goal for many countries striving for a sustainable future. Solar energy is currently one of the most reliable and abundant renewable resource that can be ...
Sensor-Based Signer Independent Continuous Arabic Sign Language Recognition
(2017-05)
The deaf community relies on sign language as the primary means of communication. For the millions of people around the world who suffer from hearing loss, interaction with hearing people is quite difficult. The main ...
Enhancing a Simple Water-Based Photovoltaic-Thermal (PVT) Solar Collector Using CFD Analysis
(2019-07)
Photovoltaics thermal collectors are gaining more attention due to their promising potential to pave the way for the penetration of solar energy in modern day power generation technologies. PVTs’ flexibility, manufacturability, ...
Measurement of Vigilance Using EEG Source Localization
(2017-11)
Vigilance, or sustained attention, is crucial for jobs where attentiveness for prolonged times is required. These jobs include air traffic control, luggage inspection, and surveillance jobs. Vigilance decrement can cause ...
Sequential batch contactors for removal of chromium (VI) from wastewater using sheep's wool
(2017-05)
The effluent streams of various industries contain heavy metals like chromium. The hexavalent form of it is highly toxic, which needs specific intensive treatment before disposal. Sheep’s wool, as a keratinous adsorbent, ...
Design and Optimization of a Planar Cable Robot
(2020-07)
This thesis presents a new approach towards the design of Cable-Driven-Parallel Robots (CDPR). Typically, the design of such robots is not the main concern, whereas in this work, an optimization of the design is carried ...
ESDD Prediction of Outdoor Polymer Insulators
(2015-06)
Reliable power transmission is a main factor in designing transmission and distribution lines. Contaminated environments significantly reduce the performance of outdoor insulators in which the accumulation of contamination ...
Modeling and Control of Electrostatically Actuated RF-MEMS Switches
(2014-02)
This work presents a novel approach to modeling and control of an RF- MEMS switch. The model presented in this work is comprehensive and generic in nature such that it takes into account the effect of squeeze film damping, ...
Bingham Fluid Flow in the Entrance Region of a Pipe
(2019-05)
The isothermal laminar flow of a Bingham fluid in the entrance region of a circular pipe has been studied previously by many authors using different approaches. As current research stands, the momentum integral approach ...
Towards a Performative Understanding of Deservingness: Merit, Gender and the BBC Pay Dispute
(Wiley Online Library, 2020)
Drawing largely on a high-profile case of unequal pay at the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) as an illustrative example, this conceptual paper considers differences and interrelationships between merit and deservingness, ...
