Thermodynamics of Distributed Solar Thermal Power Systems with Storage
(2018-08-11)Distributed power generation through renewable sources of energy has the potential of meeting the challenge of providing electricity access to the off-grid population, estimated to be around 1.2 billion residing across the ... -
Thermoplastic epoxy designed using Vitrimer chemistries
Globally, 70 million tons of epoxy thermosets are manufactured at a perplexing rate which constitutes approximately a quarter of polymer generation by weight. A thermosetting polymer contains a permanent crosslinked network ... -
Thiophene Derivative Photovoltaics : Device Fabrication, Optimization and Study of Charge Transport Characteristics
(2018-04-11)In the recent years area organic photovoltaics is generating a lot of interests because whole process of synthesis and fabrication is less energy intensive process as well as it is cost effective compared to conventional ... -
Three Dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamic Simulation and Analysis of a Turbocharger Compressor
(2018-05-01)This thesis constitutes detailed computational investigation on ow through the passages of a centrifugal compressor used for turbocharging applications. Given the dynamic nature of operation of the turbocharger, it becomes ... -
Time Dependent Deformations and High Temperature Effects on Different Types of Concrete : Experimental and Numerical Studies
(2018-03-01)Estimating the delayed strains in concrete, namely creep and shrinkage is very important to asses the condition of the structure. Time dependent deformations in concrete, both creep and shrinkage, play a critical role in ... -
Time Dependent Deformations in Normal And Heavy Density Concrete
(2010-12-08)Time dependent deformations in concrete, both creep and shrinkage, play a critical role in prestressed concrete structures, such as bridge girders, nuclear containment vessels, etc. These strains result in lossess, through ... -
Time Domain Spectral Finite Element Simulation of Ultrasonic Wave Propagation in Composite with Defects
Ultrasonic guided wave-based detection of structural defects or damages is one of the promising methods for structural health monitoring (SHM). A significant proportion of structural elements in an aircraft structure and ... -
Time Scale Separated Nonlinear Partial Integrated Guidance And Control Of Endo-Atmospheric Interceptors
(2011-03-17)To address the concern of classical guidance and control designs (where guidance and control loops are designed separately in an “outer loop – inner loop” structure), integrated guidance and control (IGC) ideas have been ... -
Time Splitting Methods Applied To A Nonlinear Advective Equation
(2009-03-09)Time splitting is a numerical procedure used in solution of partial differential equations whose solutions allow multiple time scales. Numerical schemes are split for handling the stiffness in equations, i.e. when there are ... -
Time-Optimal Guidance for Impact Angle Constrained Interception of Moving Targets
(2018-05-30)Various unmanned missions deploy vehicles such as missiles, torpedoes, ground robots, and unmanned aerial vehicles. Guidance strategies for these vehicles aim to intercept a target point and satisfy additional objectives ... -
Tip Resistance Of A Miniature Cone Penetrometer Using Triaxial Apparatus For Clean And Silty Sand
(2010-06-09)The static cone penetration tests are quite extensively used for carrying out in-situ geotechnical investigations both for onshore and offshore sites especially where the soil mass is expected to comprise of either soft ... -
Topological Derivative-based Optimization of Fiber-reinforced Structures, Coupled Thermoelastic Structures, and Compliant Mechanisms
The topological derivative of a functional quantifies the sensitivity with respect to an infinitesimal domain perturbations such as a hole, an inclusion, a source term, a crack, etc. In this thesis, topological derivatives ... -
Topology Optimization Of Composite Heat-Sinks Involving Phase-Change Material
(2010-08-16)The principal goal of this thesis is to develop a systematic method for the design of composite heat sinks (CHSs) that serve as passive and transient cooling devices for microelectronics. This is accomplished by posing the ... -
Torque transport, mean velocity profiles and turbulent statistics of a wide-gap Taylor Couette flow
Wall-bounded turbulent flows that possess finite curvature of the mean flow streamlines are known to be starkly different from their plane counterparts. One of the primary distinguishing features of such flows is the ...
