Investigation of hydro-mechanical particle flow through horizontal orifices by Qiu, Zhenghui

“…In the modern world, as the global population continues to rise, the need for and recovery of natural resources is becoming ever more relevant. Identifying optimisation solutions for the recovery of granular resources has progressed into one of the most dominant development areas in the mining and processing industries. …”

Exergy analysis of a Stirling cycle by Wills, James Alexander

“…The research that was conducted is presented in three chapters of which the topics are: the effects of allocation of volume on engine performance, the GPU-3 (Ground Power Unit - developed by GM) Stirling engine analysis, and the optimisation of a 1000 cm³ Stirling engine with finite heat capacity rates at the source and the sink. …”

The synthesis of Combined Heat and Mass Exchange Networks (CHAMENs) with renewables considering environmental impact by Kim, So-Mang

“…This thesis builds on current knowledge of CHAMENs synthesis methods by considering CHAMENs with detailed regeneration networks (RENs) involving multiple recyclable MSAs, multiple regenerating streams, and solar thermal as an alternative energy source, using a multi-period synthesis approach. Simultaneously optimising a combination of these networks is not a trivial task due to the resulting large model size having many binary and non-linear terms and the interactions among them. …”

Channel parameter tuning in a hybrid Wi-Fi-Dynamic Spectrum Access Wireless Mesh Network by Zlobinsky, Natasha

“…We use signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) as the optimisation objective. This incorporates any possible source or type of interference and makes our method agnostic to the protocol or technology of the interfering devices while ensuring that the received signal level is high enough for connectivity to be maintained on as many links as possible. …”

Selection of bacterial species from wastewater for potential production of poly (γ-glutamic acid): isolation, characterisation and growth kinetics by Madonsela, Ziningi

“…In an approach in which bioresource productivity is maximised, it is desirable to not only achieve water treatment to the desired standard, but at the same time to harness the value in these resources. Wastewaters are a source of nutrients such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphates. …”
