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...

Engineering Kinesthetic Perceptions: The Restoration of Movement Sense in Upper Limb Prosthetic Use
DownloadFall 2017
Upper limb movement yields rich streams of sensory information that are cortically integrated with motor commands. This is drastically altered in those with upper limb (UL) amputation as sensations of touch and movement are inherently lost. This absence impedes prosthetic control by forcing...

Engineering Stable Bacteriophage Dosage Forms Active Against Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria for Respiratory Delivery and Food Safety Applications
DownloadFall 2019
The topic of this thesis is the engineering of stable bacteriophage dosage forms that are active against antibiotic-resistant bacteria for applications in respiratory delivery and food safety. Experimental methods and theoretical models are developed to test and understand the effects that...

Enhancing Heat Pipe Efficacy: Thermosyphon Analysis, New Generation Refrigerant Transition, and Design Optimization
DownloadFall 2023
The efficacy of heat pipes is often constrained by their ability to effectively return condensed liquid from the condenser to the evaporator section through capillary pumping. However, when the heat pipe wick is absent or flooded due to overfilling, capillary pumping becomes irrelevant, resulting...
