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...

Fracture toughness of void-site-filled skutterudites

Creator:: Eilertsen, James S.
Abstract:: Thermoelectric materials are playing an increasingly significant role in the global effort to develop sustainable energy technologies. Consequently, the demand for materials with greater thermoelectric efficiency has stimulated the development of state-of-the-art interstitially doped skutterudite-based materials. However, since intermetallics are often embrittled by interstitial substitution, optimal skutterudite-based device design, manufacture,...

Efficiency of a direct contact condenser in the presence of the noncondensable gas air compared to a tube and shell condenser

Creator:: Lebsack, Jonathan M.
Abstract:: Steam distillation is the traditional method used for the extraction of peppermint oil. This process is able to remove approximately 20% of the oils from the leaves of the plant. It is a very costly and un-sustainable process due to the release of carbon emissions. Solvent free microwave extraction promises...

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...

Solution-based deposition of functional thin films : development of a glucose biosensor and thermal processing of CZTS nanoparticle films

Creator:: Durgan, Christopher J.
Abstract:: The development of solution-based methods for deposition of different thin film material is presented as an alternative to high cost vacuum-based methods. For certain materials, vacuum techniques are unsuitable for processing. Additionally, vacuum-based processes present high capital costs associated with equipment, and slow processing times. Atmospheric pressure solution based techniques...

Mechanics of three-dimensional microenvironments of cells

Creator:: Jones, Christopher
Abstract:: The structure and mechanics of tissues affect many important cellular functions such as migration, differentiation, and growth. Mechanical interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM), as well as ECM-mediated mechanical communication between cells, plays a part in coordinating collective cellular dy- namics during critical processes such as morphogenesis, tissue...

CFD simulation of single-phase and flow boiling in confined jet impingement with in-situ vapor extraction using two kinds of multiphase models

Creator:: He, Xiaoliang
Abstract:: With continued development of the electronic industry, the demand for highly efficient heat removal solutions requires innovative cooling technologies. A computational fluid dynamic (CFD) study, including heat transfer, is performed for an axisymmetric, confined jet impingement experiencing boiling and coupled with vapor extraction. Boiling occurs at the target surface while...

A multiagent approach to identifying innovation in design components

Creator:: Rebhuhn, Carrie M.
Abstract:: Innovation is a key element for a product to achieve market success, but identifying it within product or even defining the term is a difficult task. Identifying innovation has been approached in many different ways. Experts in design engineering may identify innovative designs based on an analysis of a product's...

Group scheduling in electronics manufacturing with integration of internal and external setup times

Creator:: Yazdani Sabouni, Mohammad Taghi
Abstract:: This research considers a combinatorial optimization scheduling problem in the assembly of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in electronic manufacturing. For the first time in this research, the preparation process, which is typically called kitting operation, is paid attention to and is performed along with the assembly operation, described in this...

Investigation of In-tube Non-equilibrium Condensation of Low Global Warming Potential Refrigerants

Creator:: Jacob, Tabeel A.
Abstract:: This work investigates the in-tube condensation of low global warming potential (GWP) zeotropic refrigerant mixtures R448A, R450A, R452A, R454B and R454C. These refrigerants have been proposed for a wide range of commercial heating, ventilation, air-conditioning applications, but their heat and momentum transport phenomenon were not well understood. Thus, in this...
