Advancing Wind Systems Design through Optimization and Improved Modeling

Creator:: Miller, Annalise M.
Abstract:: Wind energy plays an important and growing role in the US energy profile. While other countries have expanded their wind industries into offshore development, large investment costs have hindered progress in the US offshore market despite the larger and more consistent resource available offshore. In this research, I explore the...

The Art and Craft of John Williams

Creator:: Lincoln, Danae A.
Abstract:: The intent of this paper is to bring more attention to the mastery involved with film composition as an art form. The research focuses specifically on the life, style, influences, and works of John Williams as a conductor, film composer, and composer. It addresses his biography, filmography, and working relationships,...

Computer simulation of a combined-cycle biomass-fueled power plant

Creator:: Fox, Stephen John
Abstract:: This thesis presents thermodynamic evaluations of various biomass-fueled combined-cycle power plants using a computer model developed for simulating such plants. The combined-cycle systems Investigated are characterized by having a wood-fueled combustor, an indirect-fired gas turbine, and a steam cycle. This work was part of a larger biomass energy project at...

Development and Testing of an Integrated Sensor Suite for Cookstove Monitoring and Evaluation

Creator:: Miller, Heather M.
Abstract:: The health and environmental impacts associated with traditional methods of household cooking and heating have driven the development and dissemination of many types of improved cookstoves and fuels. However, adoption rates, household cooking practices, and even household ventilation can directly influence the magnitude of real-world impacts. Given the highly contextual...

An experimental study of the fluid mechanics of filling a small part of modular mold

Creator:: Miller, Mark Wade, 1967-
Abstract:: Investment casting has been an important form of metal casting for many years, but little is understood about the fluid flows that occur during mold filling. A key to quality castings is the understanding and control of the fluid flows that are present when the mold is filled with molten...

Fiber Reinforced Composite Power-Mooring Cables Design and Manufacturing applied to Wave Energy Converters

Creator:: Miller, Andrew
Abstract:: The design and analysis of single point power-mooring cables applied to wave energy converters (WECs) is presented. WECs are mechanical devices designed and deployed to extract energy from waves in varying ways, and at varying distances from the shoreline. WEC devices operating on the water surface require mooring lines or...

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...

A Novel Progressive Damage and Failure Analysis Model for Matrix Compression using 3D Continuum Damage Mechanics and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics

Creator:: Solanki, Satish
Abstract:: The matrix compression behavior is assumed similar to tension, and many material's elastic and damage parameters are considered equal in tension and compression but experimentally not explored. This assumption leads to unrealistic or very far from the actual behavior of the matrix under compression. Moreover, the pre-existing implemented Abaqus models...
