Reaction path analysis for atomic layer deposition systems
(FOCAPO/CPC 2017, 2017-01-08)In this paper, we examine the mathematical structure of thin-film deposition process reaction kinetics models with the goal of determining whether a reaction network can guarantee the self-limiting and stable growth inherent ... -
Dynamic dimension reduction for thin-film deposition reaction network models
(IFAC, 2016-06-06)A prototype thin-film deposition model is developed and subsequently used in a sequence of model reduction procedures, ultimately reducing the dynamic dimension from six to one with essentially no loss in accuracy to the ... -
Framework for Knowledge-Based Fault Detection and Diagnostics in Multi-Domain Systems: Application to HVAC Systems
(2017-11-13)State-of-the-art fault detection methods are equipment and domain specific and non-comprehensive. As a result, the applicability of these methods in different domains is very limited and they can achieve significant ... -
Bat-Inspired Robot Navigation
(2009-08)A key objective of Robotics is the autonomous navigation of mobile robots through an obstacle field. Inspired by echolocating bats, we developed a two-part navigation system consisting of obstacle detection through ... -
Optimal replacement strategy for residential solar panels using monte carlo simulations and nonlinear optimization methods
(2017-05)The purpose of this analysis is to determine the optimal replacement strategy for a residential photovoltaic (PV) array. Specifically, the optimal year and number of solar modules that should be replaced on a residential ...
