  • 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...

  • Design of a Biomass Feeding Robot for Controlled Cookstove Testing

    Creator:
    O'Boyle, Duncan
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this report is to detail the design and validation of a prototype robot that feeds biomass into a range of small household cookstoves at a programmable rate. Improved design and testing methods for the development of improved biomass cookstoves are needed to design stoves that alleviate the...

  • Freeze Stage Analysis of an Indirect Freeze Desalination System

    Creator:
    Whitaker, Trevor A.
    Abstract:
    Freeze desalination poses as a potential solution to many of the issues that accompany current desalination methods. The research detailed in this manuscript involves creating and analyzing a numerical model of the freezing operation of an indirect contact freeze-melting (FM) desalination system. In this initial analysis, pure water is frozen...

  • 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...
