Thermal Conversion of MSW – A Comparison of the System Performance: Direct Combustion Versus Conversion Through Syngas in CHP Plant
This project is a study comparing two different thermal conversion paths for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). The comparison will be focused on technical, economic and emission aspects. One path is the direct incineration of Continue reading
Exergy Analysis of Magnetic Refrigeration
One of the main challenges of the industry today is to face its impact on global warming considering that the greenhouse effect problem is not be solved completely yet. Magnetic refrigeration represents an environment-safe Continue reading
Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition: For Priority Aero Maintenance
The economic crisis has affected the airline industry as much as it has affected all other industries in the world. The small airlines and maintenance organisations must find Continue reading
Concept design of an Ultra-light Industrial Robot
The use of industrial robots are increasing in areas such as food, consumer goods, wood, plastics and electronics, but is still mostly concentrated in the automotive industry. A problem is that workstations in smaller and medium sized companies that produce small batches of products don’t get Continue reading
High Speed Air Pneumatic Wind Shield Wiping Design
In this creative design process a number of designs were constructed, implemented and tested in order to assess the feasibility of using high speed to create a curtain to repel the rain from Continue reading
The Implementation of a Sustainable Biodiesel Industry in Trinidad and Tobago
Trinidad and Tobago has struggled to achieve any appreciable level of renewable energy penetration. The country benefits from oil and gas reserves, and a history of subsidized Continue reading
Small and Simple model of an Automatic Gate System
In this project, we attempt to construct a small and simple model of an Automatic Gate System, which uses a power window motor which uses Continue reading
Development and Demonstration of a Diode Laser Sensor for a Scramjet Combustor
Hypersonic vehicles, based on scramjet engines, have the potential to deliver inexpensive access to space when compared with rocket propulsion. The technology, however, is in its infancy and there is still much to be learned from Continue reading
Process Improvement during Production Ramp Up
Production ramp up corresponds to the period between the end of the production development and the full capacity utilization. The manufacturing process often does not work perfectly during Continue reading
A Model for Assessing Cost Effectiveness of Applying Lean Tools
The purpose of this thesis is to develop a model for assessing cost effectiveness of applying lean tools. The model consists of eight phases: it starts by Continue reading
