Investigation of Destratification in Warehouses

Creator:: Polander, Michael D.
Abstract:: A significant source of energy consumption comes from maintaining desired indoor environment conditions in warehouses and other industrial facilities. In efforts to combat the raising energy costs, studies into more efficient heating and cooling strategies has been a topic of consideration for a number of years. One of the areas...

Fluidic and thermal modeling for the high production rate synthesis of high quality nanoparticles

Creator:: Peterson, Daniel Alan
Abstract:: Advances of colloidal nanomaterials for societal benefit have been hampered by the high cost and low quality of nanoparticles (NPs). The production of high quality nanoparticles within colloidal suspension has two related concerns; (1) current high production rates methods of synthesizing nanoparticles result in a larger range of particle size,...

The Feasibility of Process Intensification of the Water-Gas Shift Reaction using Differential Temperature Microreactors

Creator:: Tolley, Thomas E.
Abstract:: Hydrogen is an increasingly attractive low-carbon energy carrier for a variety of stationary and mobile applications. Currently, the vast majority of hydrogen in the United States is produced via the energy intensive steam reforming of natural gas. The cost and carbon emissions associated with hydrogen production can be reduced by...

Self-adaptive Subsets for Stretched and Rotated Textures in Digital Image Correlation

Creator:: Gao, Zizhan
Abstract:: Digital image correlation (DIC) uses pairs of images, one in a reference state and one after in situ manipulation of the object, to measure full-field displacements and strains by tracking the motion of small image subsets. Subset selection is always a crucial part of DIC technique as it has a...

Micromixer assisted continuous flow synthesis of nanoparticles of binary compounds and their application

Creator:: Palanisamy, Barath
Abstract:: In this work, continuous synthesis routes for binary nanoparticles using advantages of microchannel mixing (low diffusion distances and higher mass transfer) and fast heating rates provided by ultrasound induced heating are investigated. In addition, the application of silica nanoparticles in anti-reflective coatings on glass and understanding the structure property-performance correlation...

Sources of flow maldistribution in microreactor-assisted synthesis of ceria nanoparticles

Creator:: Tseng, Chih-Heng
Abstract:: Recent efforts show that microchannel technologies have much to offer the field of nanomanufacturing: the structuring of matter on the order of one billionth of a meter. During the synthesis of nanomaterials, microchannel reactors take advantage of large surface-to-volume ratios to accelerate heat and mass transport. This accelerated transport allows...

An internal convective heating technique for diffusion bonding highly parallel microchannel architectures

Creator:: Bose, Sumantra
Abstract:: Diffusion bonding cycle times can be a large cost factor in the production of metal microchannel devices. The challenge is to significantly minimize this cost by reducing the bonding cycle time through rapid and uniform heating and cooling within the bonding process. Heating rates in diffusion bonding processes are typically...

Development and validation of acoustic measurement techniques for void fraction in concentric annular geometries

Creator:: Tost, Brian C.
Abstract:: This work investigates the acoustic velocity of gas-liquid mixtures in vertical, co-current flow in a concentric annulus. Acoustic velocity shows promise as a detection parameter for the presence and amount of gas in a liquid flow because of its high sensitivity to gas void fraction in a gas-liquid mixture. However,...

Modeling hop kilning with respect to energy consumption and drying kinetics

Creator:: Thomas, Matthew W.
Abstract:: Currently, little work has been performed studying energy consumption in hop kilning. This thesis explores drying with an alternative drying schedule that extends the initially elevated drying temperature currently used by growers and examines its impact on drying time and energy use. Extending the time of the initially elevated drying...

Two-Color Laser Induced Fluorescence Imaging of Fluid Temperature for Free Convection and Vapor Condensation

Creator:: McAfee, Rachel
Abstract:: The development of a continuous and reliable cooling method for computer chips is an evolving subject requiring continuous research in both computer science and thermal management. Two-color laser induced fluorescence (LIF) provides a non-invasive way to investigate electronics cooling fluid behavior. Dielectric fluids are of particular interest as they allow...
