Nonlinear Adaptive Control of Quadrotor
(2014-02)In this research, nonlinear and adaptive controls of quadrotors are designed. The system is considered as an under-actuated system, which has six degrees of freedom (DOF) and four actuators. In addition, a nonlinear model ... -
Optimal Routing Protocol in Multimedia Wireless Sensor Networks
(2011-01)Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have attracted research interest in recent years due to the significance of the field of applications and the advances in sensor technology. In areas where catastrophic events occur such as ... -
Optimization of Commercially Off the Shelf (COTS) Electric Propulsion System for Low Speed Fuel Cell UAV
(2013-03)Fuel cell technology offers higher energy density than any other onboard electric power source. However, despite its high energy content per unit mass, the fuel cell is lacking in power density ratio compared to Lithium-Polymer ... -
Power Characteristics of Selective Buried Oxide MOSFET
(2016-01)Power dissipation is an important factor in electronic circuit design due to the decreasing feature size of microelectronic devices, high clock frequencies, and large die size, as well as the growing number of mobile, ... -
Suppression of Unstable Flow by Using Rough Surfaces at Small Mass Flow Rates in a Radial Diffuser
(2006-08)The operation of centrifugal compressor systems is limited at low-mass flow rates by fluid flow instabilities leading to rotating stall or surge. These instabilities limit the flow range in which the compressor can operate. ... -
Technology Management and Analysis of Integrating Fuel Cell Systems in Gas Turbine Power Plants
(2013-04)In this thesis, comprehensive and detailed energy and economic analyses of integrating different types of fuel cells in gas turbine power plants are performed. The research investigates the performance of a hybrid system ... -
Thermo-economic Optimization of Hybrid Combined Power Cycles Using Heliostat Field Collector
(2016-01)Electricity has an essential role in our daily life. However, with the ever increasing cost of fossil fuels and natural gas, power generation with higher efficiency and lower capital cost is in high demand. Nowadays, global ...
