  • Microscale thermal management using membrane vapor extraction

    Creator:
    Apreotesi, Mario A.
    Abstract:
    With the miniaturization of microelectronics and increase of processor speeds in the last few decades, thermal management is drastically affecting overall packaging and system capabilities. Due to the special needs introduced, research focusing on microscale cooling has increased. This study combines the positive characteristics of single- and two-phase flows in...

  • 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...

  • A Comparative Study of Funding and Budgeting Profiles of Collegiate Athletic Bands, with an Emphasis on Alumni Relations

    Creator:
    Hunter, Sean C.
    Abstract:
    This study is a comparison to establish similarities between the funding resources of college and university athletic bands. The secondary objective is to determine the funding potential that exists as a result of alumni relations. In order to obtain funding information for a variety of athletic band programs, a survey...

  • 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...

  • Electrical Conductivity of Ceramic Material at High Temperature

    Creator:
    Kangsathein, Parm
    Abstract:
    The electrical conductivity data of ceramic material at high temperatures can be useful in the application of modeling, solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD). The existing data is considerably lacking at extreme temperatures. Our research focuses on bridging this gap by reporting the electrical conductivity measurements of sets...

  • Comparison of the Accuracy and Applicability of Forebody Wake Effect Models for Parachute System Design

    Creator:
    Kemling, Gabriel H. and Blunck, David L.
    Abstract:
    The forebody wake effect (FWE) is important to consider when designing parachute systems because it can affect parachute performance. Parachutes work by altering the aerodynamic properties of an attached forebody to control a descent. The FWE can reduce parachute drag, causing the system to descend faster than desired. This drag...

  • 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...

  • Chassis Design for the Global Formula Racing Team

    Creator:
    Powell, Zach L.
    Abstract:
    For the 2019 season, a new chassis layup was designed that is much stronger than in previous years, yet only slightly heavier. Compared to the baseline steel tube frame, the 2019 chassis has safety factors of about 110% for most zones. Also, a new impact attenuator was designed that absorbs...

  • Describing Tsunami Inundation and Debris Motion using Optical Measurement Methods in a Large-Scale Wave Basin

    Creator:
    Rueben, Matthew Robert
    Abstract:
    This thesis consists of two papers in manuscript format. The first paper presents optical measurements of tsunami inundation through an urban waterfront in a laboratory wave basin. The physical model was constructed at 1:50 scale and was an idealization of the town of Seaside, Oregon. The paper presents an analysis...
