Work Overloads Approximation on a Moving Assembly Line Workstation using Markov Chain

Creator:: Khandke, Shardul
Abstract:: Moving mixed-model assembly lines are used by many companies to assemble multiple model types of a particular product. A moving assembly line consists of a material movement system that moves jobs at a constant velocity across a series of workstations. The variation in the work content of jobs at workstations...

Usage of Digital Image Correlation in Single and Multiple Stereo Systems for Strain and Shape Measurement

Creator:: McKinley, Timothy A.
Abstract:: This dissertation details the application of digital image correlation (DIC) in novel methods for mechanical testing and shape characterization. The first usage manifested in the development of a novel composite test specimen that provided the ability to characterize the matrix compression energy release rate at initiation and subsequent crack propagation....

Uniform residence time in microreactor-assisted solution deposition of CdS thin-films for CIGS photovoltaic cells

Creator:: Hires, Clayton Lamar
Abstract:: Photovoltaic (PV) cells have long been an attractive alternative for the consumption of fossil fuels but current manufacturing practices suffer from poor energy efficiency, large carbon footprints, low material utilization, high processing temperatures and high solvent usage. A critical step in PV production is the deposition of CdS as a...

Turbulent Combustion Analysis of Large Hydrocarbon Fuels in a Reduced Pressure Environment

Creator:: Schorn, Nathan E.
Abstract:: The aviation industry is pushing for better fuels and gas turbine engines for several reasons: cost, emissions, and to a lesser extent high-altitude relights. One aspect that research has been focused on to help reduce costs, emissions and better understand high-altitude relights is studying the combustion behavior of the fuel...

Thin Films via Chemical Solution Deposition Synthesis from the (Bi₀.₅Na₀.₅)TiO₃-(Bi₀.₅K₀.₅)TiO₃-Bi(Mg₀.₅Ti₀.₅)O₃ Ternary System

Creator:: Mendez, Jose Eduardo
Abstract:: The ternary system (Bi₀.₅Na₀.₅)TiO₃-(Bi₀.₅K₀.₅)TiO₃-Bi(Mg₀.₅Ti₀.₅)O₃ (BNT-BKT-BMgT) was explored along the [75-(x 2) ]Bi₀.₅Na₀.₅TiO₃ - [25-(x 2)]Bi₀.₅K₀.₅TiO₃ - [x]Bi(Mg₀.₅Ti₀.₅)O₃ composition line. Thin films were fabricated using chelated mixing route solutions spin cast onto platinized silicon substrates. Processing parameters such as: excess cation molar%, solution molality, and crystallization temperatures, for composition where x=0,...

The Use of Various Morphologies of Nanocellulose as Life Long Anodes of Sodium Ion Batteries

Creator:: Schardt, Jenna
Abstract:: Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) require the use of a highly reversible anode. To form this anode carbon nanofibers and nanocrystals are derived from cellulose nanofibers, cellulose nanocrystals, and bacterial nanocellulose. The primary structure of the cellulose nanofibers is maintained when carbonized allowing for high surface area in the structure. The carbon...

The Feasibility of Process Intensification of the Water-Gas Shift Reaction using Differential Temperature Microreactors

Creator:: Tolley, Thomas E.
Abstract:: Hydrogen is an increasingly attractive low-carbon energy carrier for a variety of stationary and mobile applications. Currently, the vast majority of hydrogen in the United States is produced via the energy intensive steam reforming of natural gas. The cost and carbon emissions associated with hydrogen production can be reduced by...

The energy extraction performance of an oscillating rigid and flexible foil

Creator:: Totpal, Alexander D.
Abstract:: The aerodynamic performance of an oscillating pitching and plunging foil operating in the energy harvesting mode is investigated. Experiments are conducted in a closed-loop recirculating wind tunnel at Reynolds numbers of 24,000 to 48,000, and reduced frequencies (k = fc/u) of 0.042 to 0.083. Foil kinematics are varied through the...
