Advection-diffusion in inertial flow through periodically converging-diverging tubes

Lambert, Adam (Adam L.) (2010-11-11)

A direct numerical simulation of advection-diffusion in a sinusoidal tube was carried out using the commercial ﬁnite-volume code STAR-CD. The Reynolds numbers varied from Re = 0.1 to Re = 14.5. At the larger Reynolds n ...
Biomolecule detection by amplified photoluminescence of germanium doped diatom biosilica

Gale, Debra K. (2011-07-25)

There is significant interest in the fabrication of nano- and micro-structured silica with spatially ordered features, which exhibit enhanced optoelectronic properties with application to the next generation of display d ...
Conversion of biomass constituents to hydrogen-rich gas by supercritical water in a microchannel reactor

Goodwin, Aaron K. (2010-09-21)

Microreactors offer high rates of heat transfer able to intensify highly endothermic biomass reforming reactions in supercritical water. In this study, two continuous flow microreactor configurations were used to gasify ...
Evaluating the rates of nitrate removal for a nitrate containing, low organic carbon wastewater interacting with carbon-containing solid substrates

Hart, Jeffrey L. (Jeffrey Le) (2012-03-16)

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the rates of nitrate removal for a nitrate containing, low organic carbon wastewater interacting with four different carbon-containing solid substrates (alder woodchips ...
Hydraulic characterization and modeling of the Talking Water Garden wetland for evaluation of nitrogen removal

Huang, Tao (2012-06-08)

The purpose of this research is to hydraulically characterize an engineered wetland in Albany, Oregon. The wetland receives treated wastewater from both Albany Millersburg Water Reclamation Facility (AMWRF) and ATI Wah C ...
Industrially-situated project-based learning : a study of feedback and diffusion

Gilbuena, Debra M. (2013-03-18)

The Virtual Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Process Development Project provides the context for the two areas of the research presented in this dissertation. The first area, generally referred to as feedback in this dis ...
Optimization of cryoprotectant addition and removal procedures for vitrification of adherent mammalian cells

Fry Davidson, Allyson (2013-01-30)

Cryopreservation of adherent cells may be advantageous for cell types that are difficult to preserve in suspension or when it is necessary to preserve characteristics of the adherent cultured cells. Vitrification is a p ...
Study of graphite-polyurethane composite thin film electrodes for their use in electrochemical antifouling systems

Delaney, Matthew A. (2011-08-30)

Prevention of marine biofouling is vital to the survivability and performance of ships, buoys, and wave energy devices. Coatings that contain metal biocides are currently used to prevent marine biofouling. These coatings ...
Two-stage photobioreactor cultivation for enhancing lipid production from diatom cells by controlled silicon limitation

Rosenberger, Jennifer L. (2010-09-30)

There is significant interest in utilizing microalgae as a source for biofuels. Diatoms are a class of single-celled microalgae which make silica cell walls and require dissolved silicon as a substrate for cell division. ...
