Improving Water, Sanitation and Biogas Access in Resource-Stressed Environments : Methodologies and Case Study Analyses of the Primary Resources at Matema Beach High School

Creator:

Richardson, Megan M.

Abstract:

Education as a right has taken off internationally with expanded national policies in recent years. Across Africa over 80% of countries have abolished tuition fees for primary education and several have made the leap to free secondary education as well. With decreased financial barriers keeping kids out of the classroom,...

Experimental study of impulse turbines and permanent magnet alternators for pico-hydropower generation

Creator:

Cobb, Bryan R.

Abstract:

Increasing access to modern forms of energy in developing countries is a crucial component to eliminating extreme poverty around the world. Pico-hydro schemes (less than 5-kW range) can provide environmentally sustainable electricity and mechanical power to rural communities, generally more cost-effectively than diesel/gasoline generators, wind turbines, or solar photovoltaic systems....

Analysis of spillway hydrodynamics for total dissolved gas prediction downstream of hydropower projects with free, plunging spillway jets

Creator:

Germann, Nathan A.

Abstract:

During spring and early summer hydropower projects are often forced to spill water through their spillways due to increased river flows of the runoff season. Flows which are directed through spillways--instead of through turbines--contain a substantial amount of energy. Stemming from the high energy content, spillway flows entrain air at...

Chemometrics-based Approach for Predicting Low Temperature Combustion Engine Fuel Performance

Creator:

Daly, Shane

Abstract:

Low temperature combustion (LTC) engines offer improved efficiency and reduced emissions over traditional gasoline spark-ignited and diesel compression-ignition engines. The ability to produce fuels optimized for LTC engines could help increase efficiency and therefore improve fuel economy, insomuch that Federal fuel economy standards could be met. Currently, a fuel performance...

Design and Testing of the FUEL System: Integrating Engineering and Ethnographic Methods in Global Development Efforts

Creator:

Ventrella, Jennifer L.

Abstract:

Clean cooking technologies and fuels have been cited as a viable way to slow climate change and reduce the health and environmental impacts associated with traditional cooking devices used by 40% of the world. While engineers in the Design for Development sector have created hundreds of stove designs that perform...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Jennifer L. Ventrella
A modeling and empirical study of a novel bimodal natural gas internal combustion engine with fuel compression capability

Creator:

Elgin, Robert C., III

Abstract:

Given the current abundant supply and cheap price of natural gas (NG) in the United States, there is a significant opportunity to use this fuel for transportation. However, there are few fueling stations for consumers. To address this need, a dual-mode engine has been developed where in one mode all...

Integrated Evaluation of Drinking Water Purification: A Mixed-Method Laboratory and Field Assessment of a Biomass-Powered Water Treatment Technology

Creator:

Burleson, Grace Ellen

Abstract:

The global water crisis is defined as one of the major threats facing humankind over the next decade with over 1 in 10 people lacking access to clean drinking water worldwide. An estimated 1.2 million people pasteurize their drinking water by using boiling as an indicator. Pasteurization is the process...

Design and performance of a small scale waste heat recovery unit

Creator:

Ward, Christopher

Abstract:

A microchannel heat exchanger was designed for diesel waste heat recovery and its performance was evaluated. The 21x15x8 cm unit was constructed from diffusion brazed stainless steel lamina and weighed 11 kg. Operating from a 13.4 kW generator with an exhaust temperature of 500 °C the unit delivered 11.1 kW...

Performance of a thermally activated cooling system and design of a microchannel heat recovery unit

Creator:

Seward, Ryan

Abstract:

The performance of a combined vapor-compression cycle/ORC is evaluated using waste-heat from a diesel generator. A flat plate microchannel heat exchanger is employed to provide energy exchange between the diesel exhaust stream and an oil loop, which provides energy to a boiler. This study finds an increased diesel duty corresponds...

Environmentally Sustainable Product Design : Understanding the Environmental Impact of Product Function and Product Labeling

Creator:

Ferrero, Vincenzo J.

Abstract:

Using repositories to store product design information can provide additional and extensive design knowledge to the global design community. Using repository data in the design of new products can be especially impactful for DfX design objectives, such as product sustainability, about which many engineering designers have limited knowledge. Furthermore, repositories...
