Biomass as a renewable energy for providing drinking water using pellet fluidized bed
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)As like as energy consumption, there is an increasing need for potable water and depletion of water resources are even more challenging than anticipated decrease in fossil fuel resources. Some water resources have unacceptable ... -
Bismuth sulfide and PEDOT: PSS as cost effective counter electrode materials for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
(Wichita State University, 2020-05-01)As the energy infrastructure of nations is moving to renewable energy sources out of concern of climate change, solar energy appears to be a large exploitable resource that can be harnessed on a large scale. However, the ... -
Bismuth Sulfide and Titanium Oxide as photo-electrode materials for dye sensitized solar cells
(Wichita State University, 2021-04-02)Energy production for day-to-day use is moving towards renewable energy sources due to them becoming more economically viable, while being less polluting to operate. Solar energy has become one of the major sources of ... -
Bounded-input iterative learning control: robust stabilization via a minimax approach
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2017-03)In this paper, we consider the design problem of making the convergence of the bounded-input, multi-input iterative learning controller presented in our previous work robust to errors in the model-based value of the ... -
Brain-computer interface to control a 6 DOF robotic arm
(Wichita State University, 2021-04-02)In this study, a brain-computer interface (BCI) system is developed to control a six degrees of freedom robot arm. Such interface systems have a potential application in space missions for astronauts to have supplemental ... -
CFD modelling of rectangular micro channel with increase in heat flux and effect on nusselt number
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)A laminar convective heat transfer coefficient of a rectangular microchannel is investigated under constant heat flux value throughout the wall. Two dimensional numerical simulations were performed using the FLUENT and ... -
Characterization of drug-carrying nanocomposite spheres for targeted drug delivery
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)Active targeted drug delivery occurs when a drug is associated with a biodegradable polymer and a bio-targeting compound and administered to the site of interest. In this study, these nanocomposite spheres are characterized ... -
