Upgrading of a model compound of bio-oil using carbon monoxide in high temperature water

Creator:: Phipps, Ezra Daniel
Abstract:: Meeting the energy demands of the future is one of the most important challenges facing the engineering community today. An example of this problem is transportation fuels. Most of the current transportation fuels are composed of petroleum hydrocarbons. Finding a viable alternative is important given the potential scarcity of these...

Use of a model predictive control framework for optimal control of grid scale electrical energy storage in conjunction with a wind farm

Creator:: Antonishen, Michael P.
Abstract:: Over the last decade, wind penetration in the Pacific Northwest has increased rapidly. The variable nature of this massive new resource has increased stress on the hydropower resource to the point where system limits are currently being reached. In order to cultivate continued growth of the wind energy industry both...

On the study of WEC prototype advancement with consideration of real-time life extending control

Creator:: Stillinger, Chad J.
Abstract:: Renewable energy is a topic of significant interest and importance in the world today. Ocean wave energy, particularly in areas such as the Oregon Coast, has considerable potential as a renewable resource. However, to rightly evaluate the overall cost of energy for wave energy converters, survivability and maintenance issues must...

A multiple solution, laboratory-scale delivery system and its applications

Creator:: Gilbuena, Debra M.
Abstract:: Researchers around the world use various solution-based deposition techniques to deposit thin films with multiple layers that typically require multiple rounds of deposition. Some such techniques include successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR), and layer-by-layer (LBL) deposition. One of the main issues with deposition of these types of films...

Single- and multi-functional arrayed microchannel fluidic devices

Creator:: Fisher, Luke W.
Abstract:: Novel fluidic devices that utilize an array of microchannels to achieve their designed purpose are discussed. Examples of devices include: fuel reforming using Microreactors, chip cooling using microchannel heat sinks, and microchannel devices used for biological applications. The devices that have directly contributed to this research include: a microchannel water...

Impurity effect on magnetism of nickel for under bump metallization via magnetron sputtering

Creator:: Ong, Justin B.
Abstract:: Nickel or nickel alloys are common materials used in under bump metallization (UBM) in flip chip technology. Nickel is used because of its slow reaction rate with tin-based solder at elevated temperatures. However, nickel is ferromagnetic at room temperature, hence cannot be easily deposited with magnetron sputtering. In this study,...

Selective self-assembly of biogenic silica assisted by layer-by-layer deposition and inkjet printing

Creator:: Wang, Wei
Abstract:: Nature is an inspirational source of silica structures that possess unique optical properties. A few classes of organisms fabricate metal oxides with nanoscale features by a bottom-up self assembly process. In particular, diatoms are a prolific class of single-celled algae that possess silica shells or “frustules” with intricate submicron scale...

Utilization of Renewable Energy via Thermochemistry

Creator:: Lei, Fuqiong
Abstract:: Utilization of solar energy or wind energy for electricity production is inherently challenging due to the diurnal and seasonal variations and normal intermittency. Effective, high efficiency storage methods need to be developed for further advancing renewable energy utilization. Endothermic chemical processing and thermochemical energy storage can be both employed as...

Nanotechnology for solar module applications : zinc oxide nanostructures and anti-reflective coating modeling, deposition, analysis, and model fitting

Creator:: Han, Katherine M.
Abstract:: To become a competitor for fossil fuels such as coal, solar installations will need to be produced and installed at a price equal to or below grid parity. This price can be approached by either reducing the overall system cost or increasing system efficiency. The focus of this paper is...

Single crystal growth, powder synthesis and characterization of layered chalcogenide semiconductors

Creator:: Richard, Annette Pauline
Abstract:: This thesis presents basic studies, including structural, optical and transport measurements, on novel chalcogenide powders and single crystals. BiCuOSe crystals have been synthesized for the first time. The crystal structure of BiCuOSe has been refined and the optical band gap has been measured to be 0.83eV. Crystal structure refinements of...
