Dislodgement and deformation of microbubbles in laminar channel flow

Creator:

Tence, David A.

Abstract:

In this thesis the critical parameters involved in the dislodgement and deformation of microbubbles in laminar channel flow, are determined and evaluated. Experimentally the effects of surface tension, viscosity, fluid flow rate, density, and bubble diameter on bubble dislodgement were evaluated. A theoretical scale analysis was performed which provided a...

Development of a control system for a walking machine leg

Creator:

Thompson, Eric William

Abstract:

This thesis presents a control system for a walking machine leg. The leg is representative of one of the six legs required for a proposed walking machine based on the geometry of the darkling beetle. Each of the three joints is controlled by a DC servo motor mounted to the...

Masters Thesis
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...
