Model Predictive Control of Non-Isothermal Dispersive Chemical Tubular Reactors with Recycle Flow
DownloadFall 2020
Tubular reactors have widespread applications in petrochemical, biochemical and pharmaceutical unit operations. The design of a control law, which accounts for stabilization of the concentration and the temperature of the chemical component during the reaction in an isothermal/non-isothermal...

NUMERICAL AND SEMI-EMPIRICAL MODELING OF PARTICLES UNDERGOING PHASE CHANGE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF CONVECTION
DownloadFall 2016
This work is devoted to the development and validation of subgrid models describing heat and mass transfer between the bulk flow of gas/liquid and a moving particle undergoing phase change under the influence of free/mixed/forced convection. Such kind of submodels plays the role of ’scale...

Numerical Simulations of Anelastic and Boussinesq Rotating Convection with Radial Entropy Gradient Boundary Conditions
DownloadFall 2017
Observations from the gas giants Jupiter or Saturn allow for researchers to construct geophysical fluid dynamical numerical models in an attempt to replicate the observed features. Most models aim at replicating the zonal jets and the eddies observed on these gas giants to understand how they are...

This thesis focuses on the power allocation during the channel training process for three cooperative relay networks: a one-way single-relay network, a one-way multi-relay network and a two-way single-relay network. For these three networks, under the amplify-and-forward (AF) scheme, we...

Predictive Control, Estimation and Sensor Placement of Large-Scale Transport-Reaction Systems
DownloadFall 2023
Advanced process control and monitoring rely on the accurate description of complex processes and their dynamic behaviors. Typically, numerous industrial processes are characterized by either partial differential equations (PDEs) or ordinary differential equations (ODEs), depending on whether...

Residential construction manufacturing estimating framework: the case of lightweight timber framing
DownloadFall 2020
The term industrialized construction was adopted by the offsite construction industry where the building components are prefabricated in factories and then transported to the construction site for on-site assembly. With this shift towards industrialized construction, new challenges were...
