Water treatment technologies for the developing world

Creator:: Burleson, Grace Ellen
Abstract:: The intent of this report is to provide a brief description of water quality issues in Nicaragua, Uganda and Bangladesh, and the technologies available to address these issues. The water quality parameters considered include: bacterial contamination, heavy metals and arsenic, pesticides and industrious chemicals, turbidity, radiological characteristics, and taste and...

Bird and bat interaction vision-based detection system for wind turbines

Creator:: Maurer, William Gage
Abstract:: Bird and bat collisions with wind turbine blades are an occurrence which are extremely variable in frequency. With the expansion of wind farms, determining the true quantity of collisions and the species involved is imperative for preventing ecological damage. Explored in this thesis is a blade mounted camera for wirelessly...

Analysis, testing, and redesign of an environmental control system for an engine dynamometer

Creator:: Morris, Taylor H.
Abstract:: This project analyzes, tests, and redesigns an environmental control system for Global Formula Racing’s (GFR) dynamometer. It seeks to develop a working system to test GFR’s car engine under air conditions similar to those faced during competition. A model is developed to predict the performance of the environmental control system,...

Carbon fiber chassis design & testing

Creator:: Shannon, Eric
Abstract:: OSU’s Global Formula Racing (GFR) team creates two carbon fiber chassis each year, one for combustion engine powered the other electric. These two vehicles compete in SAE sanctioned competitions teams and in order to enter they both have to provide design and testing information to prove the vehicle is safe...

Effects of Dilution on Turbulent Consumption Speeds of Jet Fuel

Creator:: Walters, Ian
Abstract:: Combustion systems for transportation applications typically use large hydrocarbon fuels in turbulent premixed or partially premixed environments. Combustion products can enter the reaction region through natural recirculation or combustion control mechanisms. The objective of this study is to characterize how dilution by combustion products affects the turbulent consumption speed for...

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Black Box

Creator:: Diebold, John
Abstract:: This project created a stand-alone unit capable of providing on-board sensing and processing for robotic vehicles. This unit was designed to be compact, lightweight, inexpensive, and adaptable. The goal of this project is to help advance robotics research in mapping and multi-agent coordination by making it easier to equip vehicles...

Flight Characterization of Small Scale UAV

Creator:: Scheer, Jacob
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis was to understand the relation between the actual performance and the design performance of the manufacturing plane which was designed for the 2016 Design/Build/Fly competition. The actual performance was determined using an Arduino Uno based system with data from an accelerometer, gyroscope and pitot tube....

Exploring Processes That Foster Innovative and Sustainable Product Design

Creator:: Boyle, Sadie
Abstract:: As global population and affluence continues to rise, demand for and disposal of consumer products is increasing. Currently, there are established process that guide designers to develop innovative products, but these products still have a large impact on the environment. There is beginning to be an emphasis on product sustainability,...

Simulation of Steady Flight of Butterflies and Improvement of Parameter Optimization

Creator:: Selover-Stephan, Tassilo
Abstract:: Recent interest in nano aerial vehicles (NAVs) has sparked an increase in research on the mechanics of biological flapping flight. The ability of NAVs to fly in confined spaces and perform tight maneuvers make them a valuable technological asset. Researching the mechanisms behind small-scale flapping flight promises progress toward the...

Analysis, design, and implementation of a Formula SAE cooling system

Creator:: Theroff, Zachary
Abstract:: This project consists of the analysis, design, and manufacturing of the 2016 cooling system for Global Formula Racing’s combustion vehicle. Several water configurations were examined, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to estimate airflow and heat transfer calculations in MATLAB to estimate heat rejection through each concept. Data used to perform...
