Preliminary Numerical Study of a Condenser Using Fractal-Like Patterned Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Strips

Creator:

Lazaroff, Spencer A.

Abstract:

Condensers are vital components of power plants and are often one of the most major cost concerns when planning construction. Generally speaking, the surface area required to dissipate the heat generated in the boiler is so great that enormous and expensive structures are necessary. The usage of a hybrid surface...

Testing and design procedures for electric propellant pumps for suborbital bi-propellant rockets

Creator:

Verna-Ketel, Dominic

Abstract:

An electrically driven propellant pump (HALE E-Pump) was analysed and tested to determine its viability for use in a bi-propellant launch vehicle for the High-Altitude Liquid Engine (HALE) student rocket team at Oregon State University (OSU). The pump, manufactured in 2022 by students in OSU machine shops, was hydrostatically tested...

Melting Stage Analysis for Indirect Freeze Desalination

Creator:

Pratt, Mason G.

Abstract:

To investigate the melting stage of indirect freeze desalination three numerical models were developed. A zeroth, ﬁrst, and second order analyses modeled the melting of ice around the outside of a pipe as a function of time. The zeroth order analysis assumes the system to be steady state. The ﬁrst...
