Proportional integral derivative control of an oil-heated fractal-like branching microchannel desorber

Creator:

Davis, Keith R.

Abstract:

A PID controller was designed to control the performance of an oil-heated fractal-like branching microchannel desorber for use in an ammonia-absorption refrigeration system. Both the amount and concentration of ammonia refrigerant generated at the desorber can be controlled by choosing the rectified circulation ratio as the controlled variable in a...

Application of biomarker compounds as tracers for sources and fates of natural and anthropogenic organic matter in the environment

Creator:

Oros, Daniel R.

Abstract:

Determination of the source and fate of natural (higher plant lipids, marine lipids, etc.) and anthropogenically (e.g., petroleum, coal emissions) derived hydrocarbons and oxygenated compounds in the environment was accomplished using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to characterize or identify molecular biomarkers to be utilized as tracers....

Investigating Timescales of Resurgence at Large Calderas: Post-74 ka Activity at Toba Caldera, Sumatra, Indonesia

Creator:

Mucek, Adonara E.

Abstract:

The Toba Caldera Complex is the youngest resurgent caldera in the last 100 kyrs, formed from four overlapping eruptions starting 1.2 Myrs ago. The last caldera-forming eruption, the Youngest Toba Tuff eruption, occurred ~74 kyrs ago, emitting 2800 km3 of ash and pumice into the atmosphere and forming the caldera...
