Utilization of Renewable Energy via Thermochemistry

Creator:: Lei, Fuqiong
Abstract:: Utilization of solar energy or wind energy for electricity production is inherently challenging due to the diurnal and seasonal variations and normal intermittency. Effective, high efficiency storage methods need to be developed for further advancing renewable energy utilization. Endothermic chemical processing and thermochemical energy storage can be both employed as...

Bi-level flexible-robust optimization for energy allocation problems

Creator:: Biswas, Arpan
Abstract:: A common problem in energy allocation problems is managing the trade-off between selling surplus energy to maximize short term revenue, versus holding surplus energy to hedge against future shortfalls. For energy allocation problems, this surplus represents resource flexibility and is quantified as the surplus energy after meeting the demand. The...

EM-MAC : an energy-aware multi-channel medium access control protocol for multi-hop wireless networks

Creator:: Sivanantha, Akhil
Abstract:: The stupendous growth in wireless and mobile devices in the recent years has prompted researchers to look at innovative approaches that enable effective use of the available resources. In this thesis, we propose a medium access control (MAC) protocol, referred to as EM-MAC, that enables wireless devices with multi-channel access...

Enabling Feasibility Assessment of Solar Thermal Energy Systems for Industrial Process Heating Applications

Creator:: Karki, Saroj
Abstract:: Existing studies on industrial heat demand have shown that more than 50% of the industrial process heat demand is in the range of low (<60 °C), medium (60-150 °C), and medium-high (<250 °C) temperatures. Most of the manufacturing industries across the world depend on combustion of carbon-based fossil fuels, either...

A Permanent-Magnet Linear Generator Wave Energy Converter for Low Power Ocean Sensors

Creator:: Miles, Lillian F.
Abstract:: Renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly important due to their low environmental impact and limitless nature. This thesis explores the design of a 250 mW permanent magnet linear generator wave energy converter to power ocean sensors. While many wave energy converters exist, this is a unique application because the wave...

Advanced Deterministic Phonon Transport Techniques for Predicting Spectral Thermal Conductivity in Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Media

Creator:: Harter, Jackson R.
Abstract:: We present a deterministic spectral method to predict equilibrium temperature distributions, heat flux, and thermal conductivity in homogeneous and heterogeneous media. We solve the Boltzmann transport equation in a second order spatial, self-adjoint angular flux formulation. We implemented this method into the radiation transport code Rattlesnake, built using the MOOSE...

Incidental Sensor Networks for Human Mobility Detection

Creator:: Hoover, Sylvan
Abstract:: Transportation systems need to get better by moving ever more people while consuming ever fewer resources. To build better transportation systems, planners need an accurate understanding of how people exercise mobility and tools to apply that understanding to the transportation system. Such an understanding can come through the development of...

Characterization of reinforced fill soil, soil-reinforcement interaction, and internal stability of very tall MSE walls

Creator:: Walters, James J.
Abstract:: In many geotechnical design situations involving tight right-of-way constraints, Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls are often the most cost-effective and reliable earth retention technology among available alternatives. However, few well-documented case histories with detailed material testing, instrumentation programs and construction observation of performance are available in the literature. Despite the...

Synthesis and testing of a novel soft donor organic extractant molecule for targeted soft metal extraction from aqueous phases

Creator:: Gullekson, Brian J.
Abstract:: Spent nuclear fuel (SNF) resultant from the generation of nuclear power is a chemically and radiologically diverse system which is advantageous to chemically process prior to geologic disposal. Hydrometallurgy is the primary technology for chemical processing for light water reactor spent fuels, where spent fuel is dissolved in an acid...

Finite Element Modeling Strategies for Seismic Collapse Assessment of Non-planar Slender Reinforced Concrete Structural Wall Resisting Systems

Creator:: Mohammed, Mohammed A.
Abstract:: For mid-rise and high rise buildings, slender reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls are commonly used as the main structural elements to resist lateral applied loads in high seismically areas around the globe. These RC structural walls can provide substantial deformation capacity, stiffness, and lateral strength through the contribution of their...
