Household Air Pollution and Adult Respiratory Health in Low- and Middle- Income Countries

Creator:: Wang, Ying
Abstract:: This dissertation examined the association between HAP and respiratory health, both using simple proxy metrics, such as cooking fuel types, and actual measurements, such as household and personal measures of PM2.5 and BC. We found that simple proxy metrics can predict a portion of HAP levels, and associations with respiratory...

Condensation of a zeotropic mixture, R-454C, and its individual components, R-1234yf and R-32, in microfin tubes

Creator:: Matty, Ethan P.
Abstract:: This work compares the condensation heat transfer and pressure drop for zeotropic refrigerant R-454C and its individual components, R-32 and R-1234yf, in horizontal microfin tubes. One microfin tube has a 4 mm outer diameter, 0.18 mm wall thickness, and a surface area ratio of 1.56. The second tube has a...

Soot Modeling: GPU Accelerated Direct Simulation Monte Carlo

Creator:: Lorson, Paige
Abstract:: For this project, we designed a soot modeling software to produce a full particle density function. This model uses the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo with a full conditioning particle selection method to capture soot nucleation and coagulation in a diffusion flame. We investigate the use of graphic processing units as...

Archaeological Textile Fragments Present an Opportunity In the Study of Social and Landscape Interactions

Creator:: Lopez, Kirsten M.
Abstract:: Textiles (including basketry, cordage, woven, knotted, or plaited products) make up a considerable portion of the perishable archaeological record in dry caves of the northern Great Basin region, much of which is created from plants and plant fibers. The archaeological study of precontact textiles greatly informs our understanding of how...

Impact Evaluation in the Field: A Case Study on the Evaluation of an Improved Cookstove Initiative in Rural Guatemala

Creator:: Nilson, Roberta
Abstract:: Improved cookstoves (ICS) have been distributed by many in the international development community to address the dangers faced by billions of people worldwide who use traditional open-fire cooking methods. Yet, impact evaluations of these ICS interventions have not always shown positive impacts. This case study followed the ICS adoption study...

An Improved Chemical Kinetic Model Reduction in pyMARS for Liquid Propellants

Creator:: Moore, Cailin J.
Abstract:: The aerospace industry uses chemical kinetic models when designing propulsion systems to acquire specific details about the rate of chemical reactions, heat release, and combustion stability. These models, however, are too large and stiff to be useful as they can take weeks to run computations on. The pyMARS python package...

The Viability of Container-Based Sanitation as a Tool for Sanitation Coverage in Urban Haiti

Creator:: VanRiper, Froggi Ramona
Abstract:: Haiti is far from achieving the UN goal of sanitation access for all; 20% Haitians have no sanitation access, and less than 0.1% of urban excreta is safely managed. Container-Based Sanitation (CBS) may be a key tool for achieving equitable sanitation coverage in Haiti’s cities. CBS is a sanitation strategy...

Evaluation of system-level performance of closed thermochemical energy storage systems for space heating

Creator:: Rivera, Kate E.
Abstract:: This study evaluates the system efficiency and energy-offsetting capabilities of a closed-cycle thermochemical energy storage (TCES) system. Current TCES research primarily focuses on material selection and reactor design but overlooks the practical limitations faced on a system level. Thus, this study investigates various TCES integration methods for providing building space...

Equity in Community Forestry in the Western US

Creator:: McCaskill, Lauren S.
Abstract:: Community forestry is a decentralized form of forest governance that is widely promoted around the world. In the United States, community forestry is growing as a form of forest management, and exists across a range of ownership and governance models, all with different levels of community participation and access to...

Cost-Benefit Evaluation of Energy-Efficient Building Strategies in Single-Family Affordable Housing

Creator:: Iliff, Helen M.
Abstract:: The goal of this thesis is to ease the adoption of energy-efficient (EE) building strategies for affordable homes in the United States (US). Low-wage earning households spend nearly three times the proportion of their gross annual income on home energy bills resulting in higher energy burden for them when compared...
