Effects of Selected Ionic Liquids on the Vapor-Liquid-Equilibria of Water-2-Propanol System
(2018-04)
Separation processes involving vapor and liquid phases represent a typical unit operation in most chemical industries, including distillation and absorption. A large fraction of the capital and operating costs is usually ...
Spectrum Occupancy Measurements and Cognitive Radio System Implementation
(2017-01)
Nowadays, radio spectrum is mostly crowded and occupied by many fixed wireless services. Therefore, there is less opportunity of finding a vacant band (spatially or temporally) for deploying new wireless communication ...
Holistic Design: Optimizing Mechatronic Systems Using Multi Objective Optimization
(2015-05)
This thesis aims to present an integrated approach to mechatronic systems design using heuristic optimization techniques. This integrated approach will consider the kinematics of the system, the dynamics, and the control ...
Thermo-Economic Evaluation of Maisotsenko-Desiccant Cooling Systems for Gas Turbine Power Plants
(2018-10)
With the everlasting increase in population, a huge surge in the electricity consumption has been recorded. Thus, power plants manufacturers and utility companies need to augment the plants performance to cope with these ...
Non-Linear Modeling and Control of Unmanned Air Vehicle
(2012-05)
The aim of this thesis is to design and simulate a Dynamic Inversion based autopilot for a fixed wing aircraft. The autopilot provides the aircraft motion stability by commanding the different aircraft control surfaces and ...

Adaptive Neuro-Observer for Elastic Drive Systems
(2011-12)
This work presents the design, implementation, testing, and validation of a Neural Network based observer for a real hardware elastic drive system. Diagonal recurrent neural network architecture and two types of controllers ...
Nonlinear Friction Identification of A Linear Voice Coil DC Motor
(2015-06)
Friction is a nonlinear phenomenon that has a major effect on the performance of servomechanisms and positioning systems such as CNC machines, robot manipulators, printers and disk drives. For this reason, accurate knowledge ...
ZigBee-Based Tangible Input Devices
(2015-05)
ZigBee has emerged as a dominant low-power wireless standard for input devices. It has been used widely for building wireless input devices. However, the design of input devices in user environments has remained traditional ...
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 ...
