The Evolution: Electric Vehicles and the End of Oil Addiction

Creator:

Donahue, Cory

Abstract:

The world is currently using an unsustainable system of meeting its transportation needs with oil. This system is taking a toll on the world environment and on global politics. The physical availability of oil is the system’s most immediate problem and will most likely bring about a transition away from...

Honors College Thesis
Condensing observation of locale and agents : a state representation

Creator:

Valenti, Brett A

Abstract:

Computing agents require state information to make coherent and useful decisions. A state representation is a numerical translation of the environment and conditions that are pertinent factors in an agent's decision making. Although many representations, when paired with clever learning algorithms, are able to coordinate and capture prey in specific...

Predicting deep water breaking wave severity

Creator:

Hovland, Justin

Abstract:

Ocean Wave Energy Converters (WECs) operating on the water surface are subject to storms and other extreme events. In particular, high and steep waves, especially breaking waves, are likely the most dangerous to WECs. A method for quantifying the breaking severity of waves is presented and applied to wave data...

Direct Numerical Simulation of a Flat Wing with a Movable Front Flap at High Angles of Attack and Low Reynolds Numbers

Creator:

Drost, Kevin J.

Abstract:

Low Reynolds number airfoils have become of interest recently for applications on Micro-air Vehicles (MAVs). Airfoils at low Reynolds numbers and high angles of attack are known to be unstable due to low lift to drag ratios. This study investigates the effect of a movable leading edge flap on the...

Honors College Thesis
Design, Construction, and Evaluation of a Miniature Swing

Creator:

Smith, Matthew

Abstract:

A swing arm compressor was designed, built, and tested as an undergraduate senior design project for Dr. Richard Peterson. The system developed, while not functioning entirely as desired, gave some initial data and a good base of knowledge for a second iteration of the project. This thesis describes in detail...

Honors College Thesis
Mechanical design under changing customer requirements case study : BugID

Creator:

Fagan, Chris R.

Abstract:

Customer requirements and engineering specifications will influence the direction of the design in any product, so it is crucial to make the requirements as stable as possible so quality designs can be produced on time within a budget. It would be optimal for requirements and specifications to remain constant but...

Masters Thesis
The wave energy resource of the US Pacific Northwest

Creator:

Lenee-Bluhm, Pukha

Abstract:

The substantial wave energy resource of the US Pacific Northwest (i.e. off the coasts of Washington, Oregon and N. California) is assessed and characterized. Archived spectral records from ten wave measurement buoys, operated and maintained by the National Data Buoy Center and the Coastal Data Information Program, form the basis...

Thin Film Bi-based Perovskites for High Energy Density Capacitor Applications

Creator:

Shear, Colin David

Abstract:

Pulsed laser deposition was used to create 0.1-Bi(Zn₀.₅ Ti₀.₅)O₃-0.9-BaTiO₃ (BZT-BT) thin films to examine the effects of laser energy (2.25 or 2.5 J/cm²) , pulse frequency (2 Hz or 5 Hz), and deposition temperature (550, 600, 650, and 700°C) on the electrical properties of the films. These effects were analyzed...

Honors College Thesis
Conservation of Mass in a Piping Network

Creator:

Heim, Samantha

Abstract:

Using returnable bottles within a brewery setting can lower costs associated with purchasing new bottles as well as reduce the energy associated with recycling glass bottles. A commercial dishwasher was retrofit specifically to wash bottles. The design and assembly of the piping flow network, testing of water flow through the...

Honors College Thesis
Microchannel steam-methane reforming under constant and variable surface temperature distributions

Creator:

Eilers, Benn J.

Abstract:

Steam-methane reforming is a well understood industrial process used for generating hydrogen and synthesis gas. The reaction is generally carried out with residence times on the order of one second. By performing this reaction at microscales it is possible to take advantage of increased heat transfer rates and low diffusion...
