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...

An analytical methodology to support the identification and remediation of potential human fallibilities in complex human-machine systems

Creator:: Thompson, Leslie Braitsch
Abstract:: This research proposes a Human Fallibility Identification and Remediation Methodology (HFIRM) that supports the systematic identification and remediation of potential human errors. The objective of this research was to develop and test a prototype framework that supports the practical application of human factors knowledge to the analysis and design of...

A heuristic algorithm for operating yard cranes over storage blocks to minimize the handling time in a container yard

Creator:: Denkaew, Weerakit
Abstract:: In container terminals, the efficiency of loading operations in a container yard highly depends on the productivity of yard cranes. In loading operation, yard cranes have to pick-up the containers which are stacked in the yard-bays to satisfy the work schedule requirement of quay crane, the equipment for loading and...

Performance of a combined organic Rankine cycle and vapor compression cycle for heat activated cooling

Creator:: Wang, Hailei, Peterson, Richard, Harada, Kevin, Miller, Erik, Ingram-Goble, Robbie, Fisher, Luke, Yih, James, and Ward, Chris
Abstract:: Heat activated cooling has the potential of utilizing thermal sources that currently go unused such as engine exhaust heat or industrial waste heat. Using these heat sources can provide enhanced energy utilization and reduced fuel usage in applications where cooling is needed. The concept developed here uses waste heat from...

Initial Designs for Improving Conversations for People Using Speech Synthesizers

Creator:: Nguyen, Duy M.
Abstract:: This thesis aims to determine the impact that Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices have on social interactions, and then improves the AAC user experience through a user focus design process. AAC devices enable people who cannot speak to communicate with others. Unfortunately, they are tedious to use and make...

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...

Shocks and Awe : Damping Selection in Racecars to Maximize Grip

Creator:: Takaro, Trevor M. F.
Abstract:: This thesis covers the use of a quarter car model to select damping rates for aFormula Student (FS) car, focusing on minimizing vertical tire force variation to improvegrip. A 2 degree of freedom (DOF) quarter car model is cycled over the road frequenciesof interest and the results compared with the...

Achieving Transparency in Human-Collective Systems

Creator:: Roundtree, Karina A.
Abstract:: Collective robotic systems are biologically-inspired and exhibit behaviors found in spatial swarms (e.g., fish), colonies (e.g., ants), or a combination of both (e.g., bees). Collective robotic system popularity continues to increase due to their apparent global intelligence and emergent behaviors. Many applications can benefit from the incorporation of collectives, including...

Microstructural Characterization of Porosity in U-Mo Low Enriched Uranium Plate Fuel

Creator:: Westman, Bjorn E.
Abstract:: New low enriched uranium (LEU) fuels are being developed for replacement of high enriched uranium (HEU) fuels in high power research reactors. U-Mo LEU plate fuels have been identified as a candidate for replacement of current HEU fuels. However, U-Mo fuels tend to exhibit accelerated swelling typically at fission densities...

A framework for assessing and improving the resilience of complex engineered systems during the early design process

Creator:: Mehrpouyan, Hoda
Abstract:: As modern systems continue to increase in size and complexity, they pose significant safety and risk management challenges. System engineers and much of the government research efforts are focused on understanding the attributes and characteristics that emerge from the interactions of components and subsystems. As a result, the objective of...
