Evaluation of Governing Heat and Mass Transfer Resistances in Membrane Based Energy Recovery Ventilators with Internal Support Structures

Creator:: Armatis, Paul D. and Fronk, Brian M.
Abstract:: Energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) are an effective way to reduce energy consumption in buildings while satisfying ventilation standards. As membrane technology and manufacturing methods improve, membrane based ERVs are seeing increased market penetration. In the present study, the feasibility of membrane ERV designed to fit in a commercial building wall...

How personality affects creativity in concept ideation

Creator:: Berthelsdorf, Friederich A.
Abstract:: This thesis uses the manuscript option, and consists of a previously-published paper and a paper that has been accepted for publication. Manuscript One details an independent confirmatory study to Choo et al. (2014), which demonstrated that correlations exist between personality type and the outcome of concept ideation methods. This is...

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...

Design and Optimization of a 1 kW Hybrid Powertrain for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Creator:: Brown, Sean P.
Abstract:: A 1 kW series hybrid powertrain was developed at Oregon State University for use in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This powertrain was designed to give mission flexibility and increased flight time to fixed-wing vertical takeoff and landing UAVs and multirotor UAVs. The powertrain components, an internal combustion engine and a...

Numbering-up of parallel microchannel arrays to megawatt scale supercritical CO₂ solar thermal receivers

Creator:: Hyder, Matthew B.
Abstract:: Concentrated solar power (CSP) plants have the potential to reduce the reliance on nonrenewable energies such as coal and natural gas and provide 24 hour, renewable electricity. A CSP system consists of a large field of heliostats that concentrate the sunlight on a centralized receiver, in this receiver a working...

An Investigation on Nanoscale-shape-mediated Coupling Between Temperature and Densification in Intense Pulsed Light Sintering of Silver Nanoparticles

Creator:: Bansal, Shalu
Abstract:: In Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) sintering, pulsed large-area visible light from a xenon lamp is absorbed by nanoparticle films or patterns and converted to heat, resulting in rapid sintering of the nanoparticles. This work experimentally characterizes IPL sintering of silver nanoparticle films. A newly observed turning point in the evolution...
