A study of thermal stratification in the cold legs during the subcooled blowdown phase of a loss of coolant accident in the OSU APEX Thermal Hydraulic Testing Facility

Creator:: Wachs, Daniel M.
Abstract:: The phenomena of interest in this work is the thermal stratification which occurs during the early stages of a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) in the OSU APEX Thermal Hydraulic Test Facility, which is a scaled model of the Westinghouse AP600 nuclear power plant. Thermal stratification has been linked to...

Two-phase fluid break flow measurements and scaling in the advanced plant experiment (APEX)

Creator:: Pimentel, David Alan
Abstract:: The Oregon State University (OSU) Advanced Plant Experiment (APEX) is a one-fourth height, one-half time scale, reduced pressure integral systems test facility designed to model the long-term cooling capabilities of the emergency core cooling systems of the Westinghouse AP600. This study provides a brief description of the APEX test facility,...

Experimental and finite-element analysis of stress distributions near the end of reinforcement in partially reinforced glulam

Creator:: Kirlin, Chad P.
Abstract:: Recently, fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP lamina) have been applied to glued-laminated (glulam) timber for the purpose of improving bending strength and stiffness. Initially, full length reinforcement using FRP lamina was developed. However, the cost of FRP lamina is a significant portion of the total cost of reinforced glulam. Therefore, it is...

An experimental study of the fluid mechanics of filling a small part of modular mold

Creator:: Miller, Mark Wade, 1967-
Abstract:: Investment casting has been an important form of metal casting for many years, but little is understood about the fluid flows that occur during mold filling. A key to quality castings is the understanding and control of the fluid flows that are present when the mold is filled with molten...

Testing and evaluating the combustion characteristics of waste fuels

Creator:: Canova, Joseph H.
Abstract:: Effective combustion of waste fuels requires an understanding of the fuels characteristics. Gaseous and particulate emissions, ash residues and combustion properties are of interest to many; those that produce and sell heating units, utilities interested in using the fuels for power generation, regulatory agencies, municipalities needing to solve a disposal...

On the lyapunov-based approach to robustness bounds

Creator:: Jo, Jang Hyen
Abstract:: The objective of this investigation is the development of improved techniques for the estimation of robustness for dynamic systems with structured uncertainties, a problem which was approached by application of the Lyapunov direct method. This thesis considers the sign properties of the Lyapunov function derivative integrated along finite intervals of...

A simplified dynamic model of the hind leg of a beetle during step initiation

Creator:: Mallysetty, Venkata Ramana
Abstract:: This thesis investigates a simple dynamic model of the hind leg of a beetle during initiation of a step. The primary assumption was that the full load of the body was carried on the hind leg during this time. That is, the only forces on the body were that of...

An examination of point defects and atomic diffusion in silicon

Creator:: Monson, Tyrus K.
Abstract:: The self-interstitial defect is commonly regarded as important in regulating diffusion in silicon. A review of the literature reveals that the scientific bases for invoking the self-interstitial defect are weak, while an alternate defect, the vacancy cluster, has been largely ignored. One argument which has been used to establish dominance...
