Development of an experimental setup for measuring vacuum decay in dual-wall fiber-reinforced composite pipes
DownloadFall 2010
Thermal management and energy input are required to maintain working fluids, i.e., liquefied natural gas, liquid nitrogen, and multi-phase fluids within their optimal working conditions. Increasing a pipes’ thermal resistance, e.g., utilizing vacuum insulation, is one method of minimizing energy...

Fall 2014
Service rates in many real queueing systems, e.g., call centers and emergency departments, change with the system conditions. We investigate and model load-dependant service rates in this dissertation. First, we propose a general framework that explains different mechanisms that cause service...

NOVEL CONTROL APPROACHES TO IMPROVE SINGLE AND MODULAR DC-DC CONVERTERS DYNAMICS IN DATA CENTERS
DownloadFall 2023
In many modern power electronics applications such as data centers, there are specific requirements such as fast load dynamics and sensitive power, voltage or current sharing. Therefore, power converters need to provide and maintain ultra fast responses to achieve a certain control objective. For...
