Electrolyte Supply Methods in Anion Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis Cells with Custom Inkjet Printed Catalyst Layers
DownloadFall 2023
This work was concerned with the construction and testing of anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE) cells to study the effect of electrolyte feed method. Each cell used a catalyst-coated membrane (CCM) fabricated in-house by inkjet printing catalyst layers onto Aemion+ membranes using...

Fall 2012
An experimental single cylinder engine with variable valve timing is used to study spark ignition and homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI). The discrete wavelet transform, on a single cylinder engine with a cam-phasing head, is used in real time for knock detection in HCCI. Classical...

Electromechanical behaviour of piezoelectric actuators with partially debonded adhesive layers
DownloadFall 2019
The electromechanical behaviour of piezoelectric actuators and the adhesive layer, which connects the actuator and the host structure can have effect on the performance of smart piezoelectric structures. In this study, a newly thin-sheet piezoelectric actuator model with an adhesive layer, which...

Electromechanical Behaviour of Surface-Bonded Piezoelectric Sensors/Actuators with Imperfect Adhesive Layers
DownloadFall 2009
The performance of smart structures depends on the electromechanical behaviour of piezoelectric sensors/actuators and the bonding condition along the interface, which connects the sensor/actuator and the host structures. This thesis documents a theoretical study of the influence of material...

Embedded Radio Frequency Sensor System into The Transceiver Architecture and Enhanced Communication Capability in Adverse Environment
DownloadFall 2019
Sensors are an essential part of Internet-of-Things (IoT) and wireless-sensor-network. They are the main block for sensing and obtaining information about the environmental parameters or materials of concern. From industrial applications for safety improvement to biomedical, health monitoring and...

Energy optimization of a residential building using occupancy prediction via sensor fusion and machine learning algorithms
DownloadFall 2023
Occupancy-based control systems for floor heating can lead to energy saving in a residential building. This study focuses on the energy consumption by space heating system in a half-duplex residential house located in Edmonton, Alberta. In the first part, a sensor fusion model was designed to...

Energy Return on Investment and Techno-economics of Pellet Production from Steam Pretreated Biomass
DownloadFall 2015
Utilization of raw ligno-cellulosic biomass for energy use is limited because of its low heating value and low yield per unit area of biomass. Pellets are densified and compressed form of biomass which has less moisture and higher energy density compared to raw biomass. Pellets are typically...
