Development and Trial of a Usability Testing Protocol for Biomass Cookstoves : An Interdisciplinary Approach

Creator:

Moses, Nicholas D.

Abstract:

Improved cookstoves have been designed and disseminated for several decades in an effort to address the human health and environmental issues caused by the inefficient, traditional biomass cooking and heating methods used by 40% of the world’s people. Engineers and designers working on these improved stoves have tended to focus...

The experimental characterization of membrane behavior in two-phase gas extraction

Creator:

Cappello, Nicholas C.

Abstract:

Understanding the behavior of hydrophobic membranes is important for applications where separating a gas from a liquid-gas mixture is beneficial. For example, in-situ vapor extraction can be used in microscale heat sinks to improve heat transfer and flow stability. In this study, gas is experimentally evaluated flowing through flexible polytetrafluoroethylene...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Nicholas C. Cappello for
Robotic Actuation and Control with Programmable, Field-Activated Material Systems

Creator:

Bira, Nicholas P.

Abstract:

This dissertation presents novel, field-activated smart material systems for the actuation and control of autonomous robots. Smart materials, a type of material whose properties can be changed with an external stimuli, represent a promising direction to expand upon existing robotic control and actuation methods, particularly in the sub-fields of soft...

The Effect of Isothermal Aging on the Development of Long-Range Order in Ni-based Alloys

Creator:

Aerne, Nicholas S. J.

Abstract:

Nickel (Ni)-based alloys with a high chromium (Cr) content are frequently employed in applications where elevated temperatures and/or corrosive environments are present due to their excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. However, a gap exists around the formation, and kinetics of long-range order (LRO) Ni2Cr phase in both model binary...

ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Nicholas Steven Jude Aerne for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in
Adhesive Properties Subject to Variation in Temperature, Thickness, and Working Time

Creator:

Aerne, Nicholas, S. J.

Abstract:

Adhesive use is becoming increasingly common in manufacturing processes. The advantage of adhesives are light weight components, non-destructive fastening techniques and distribution of loads over the applied bond region. Modeling the behavior of adhesive bond lines in fastening joints can help in the design process to make an optimized joint,...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Nicholas
Accelerating Power-to-Gas Energy Storage Through PEM Electrolyzer Development and Technoeconomic Forecasting

Creator:

Taie, Zachary

Abstract:

There is strong interest in the energy community to develop technologies that can diffuse low-cost, renewably generated electricity into difficult and slow to decarbonize sectors. One of the emerging areas of interest is renewable natural gas (RNG). RNG has low or no associated net greenhouse gas emissions and can be...

Turbulent Heat Transfer of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide in the Proximity of the Pseudo-Critical Point with Non-Uniform Heat Flux Boundary Conditions

Creator:

Jajja, Saad A.

Abstract:

Seven decades of supercritical heat transfer research have not seen an attempt to characterize turbulent thermal transport in internal flows subject to asymmetric heating. Existing heat transfer models therefore do not account for phenomena that dictates thermal transport, in the proximity of the pseudo-critical point, for non-uniform heating. Additionally, past...

Reaction Pathways of Oxo-Hydroxo Group 5 Clusters to Metal Oxide Thin Films

Creator:

Mansergh, Ryan H.

Abstract:

Oxo-hydroxo Group 5 metal clusters are an untapped resource to study and advance aqueous solution processing of metal oxide thin films. The tetramethylammonium (TMA) hexatantalate salt (TMA6[H2Ta6O19]) yields dense Ta2O5 films (~95% of the bulk ß-Ta2O5 density) with atomically smooth surfaces (<4 Å root mean square surface roughness). This same...

Modeling a Spectrum of 3D Printed Materials for Soft Robots

Creator:

Hemleben, Samantha

Abstract:

Soft robotics is an emerging field that heavily relies on the ability of 3D printers. The limitations in soft robotics lie in the area of the 3D printers and the predictive models of the printed materials. There are currently no reliable models for optimizing the gradients required to create soft...

A conceptual and strategy map for lean process transformation

Creator:

Mirdad, Waleed Khalid

Abstract:

Since the introduction of lean manufacturing by Toyota and publication by Womack and Jones, organizations have realized sizeable gains through lean process improvement. The spread of lean practices across organizations and industries – from manufacturing to healthcare and construction – requires adjustments of the lean process and, in the case...
