A design framework for identifying automation opportunities

Creator:

Nagel, Robert Lewis, 1982-

Abstract:

Since the Industrial Revolution, automated systems have increasingly become a part of everyday life. Automated systems range in scale and scope from simple assists to complete robotic replacements. Inexpensive integrated circuits, sensors and microprocessors have allowed automated systems to become smaller, cheaper and more prevalent. Identifying appropriate opportunities for automation,...

Aerodynamic undertray design for formula SAE

Creator:

Jensen, Karl

Abstract:

Aerodynamic improvements in automotive racing can have a significant effect on vehicle performance. Recent developments in Formula SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) have included the design and implementation of aerodynamic devices such as inverted wings and undertrays to improve performance. In this work the literature of undertray technology is presented...

Masters Thesis
Arc distribution and motion during the vacuum arc remelting process as detected with a magnetostatic approach

Creator:

Woodside, Rigel

Abstract:

Currently, the temporal arc distribution across the ingot during the vacuum arc remelting (VAR) process is not a known or monitored parameter. It is has previously been shown that arcs can spatially constrict during VAR, and this constriction can lead to undesired defects in the material. Additionally, correct accounting for...

Dissertation
Condensing observation of locale and agents : a state representation

Creator:

Valenti, Brett A

Abstract:

Computing agents require state information to make coherent and useful decisions. A state representation is a numerical translation of the environment and conditions that are pertinent factors in an agent's decision making. Although many representations, when paired with clever learning algorithms, are able to coordinate and capture prey in specific...

Masters Thesis
Development of a meta-model for behavioral model representation and reuse

Creator:

Giles, Blake Jensen

Abstract:

Behavioral modeling is increasingly an imperative component of system design as the systems under construction become more and more complex. Without behavioral modeling available to the modern designer, design and verification of these systems would be much more laborious. Additionally, with the increasing computational power of today's modeling and simulation...

Masters Thesis
Development of a singulation device for stonefly larva

Creator:

Williams, Kate S. (Kate Shreeve)

Abstract:

Population counts of aquatic insects can be a credible indicator of the overall health of a waterway. Stonefly (Plecoptera) larva are very sensitive to chemicals present within the waterway, however obtaining population counts of the larvae can be very labor intensive and thus costly. The BugID project has been working...

Masters Thesis
Development of a small scale scroll expander

Creator:

Harada, Kevin J.

Abstract:

The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is a versatile approach in the utilization of waste heat in the production of electricity, clean drinking water, and cooling. The efficiency of these cycles must be maximized to make them economical. Parameters for the optimization of ORCs such as evaporator and condenser temperature have...

Masters Thesis
Experimental study of subcooled water spray cooling using flow symmetric micro-structured surfaces

Creator:

Tulchinsky, Alex M.

Abstract:

Spray impingement cooling has been shown to be a leading candidate for future high heat flux cooling applications. In general, spray cooling curves consist of three heat flux regimes; single-phase, two-phase and critical heat flux (CHF). CHF is considered the design limit for almost all two-phase cooling applications, as a...

Resource Type:

Masters Thesis
Integrated dual cycle energy recovery using thermoelectric conversion and an organic Rankine bottoming cycle

Creator:

Miller, Erik W.

Abstract:

Hot engine exhaust and industrial process exhaust represents a resource that is often rejected to the environment without further utilization. This resource is prevalent in the transportation and industrial process sectors, but stationary engine-generator systems also typically do not utilize this resource. Engine exhaust is considered high grade heat and...

Masters Thesis
Investigation of volumetric coupling effects on particle-laden turbulent flows at dilute to moderate loadings

Creator:

Cihonski, Andrew John

Abstract:

Particle-laden turbulent flows are of great importance in many industrial applications and are sufficiently complex to require multiple methods of study to provide a better understanding of the dominant physical mechanisms present in these processes. This work on large-eddy simulation of particle-laden flows seeks to help provide the building blocks...
