  • 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,...

  • Heat Treatment of Carbon Steel

    Creator:
    Taylor, William Everett
    Abstract:
    All carbon steel that is used in tools, springs, and machine parts where tempering is necessary undergoes three distinct heat treatments: first, heating for forging; second, heating for hardening; and third, heating for tempering.

  • Direct Numerical Simulation of Anisotropic Particles in Turbulent Flow

    Creator:
    Roberts, Kai
    Abstract:
    Turbulent flows with suspended, non-spherical particles are common in many natural and industrial processes. To identify the effects of anisotropic geometry on particle dynamics, a one-way coupled Lagrangian direct numerical simulation solver was written, verified, and used to collect data on particles simulated in multiple flows. This thesis explains the...

  • Design and preliminary characterization of thermally-actuated pumps utilizing Marangoni and Leidenfrost effects

    Creator:
    Sedler, Stephen Joseph
    Abstract:
    Design and preliminarily characterization of two thermally-actuated pumps is presented in this thesis. The unique feature of both pumps is the presence of periodic asymmetrical structures on the channel walls. Two heat transfer effects are used with surface asymmetry to generate forces that drive the fluid in a preferential direction...

  • Effects of Channel and Ratchet Geometry on Passive Pumping in an Open-ended channel Configuration

    Creator:
    Daniels, Mitchell A.
    Abstract:
    Modern electronics have created increased demand for innovative cooling solutions. Typical forced convective cooling systems consist of pumps that circulate cooling fluid. However pumps can be unwieldy for many applications. This research is a continuation of work done at Oregon State University and Auburn University on the passive pumping of...

  • Drivetrain Design for the 2016 Global Formula Racing Combustion Car

    Creator:
    Lebowsky, Justin
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this project was to design the 2016 combustion car drivetrain for Global Formula Racing (GFR). The goal of this project was to improve upon the 2015 drivetrain design by reducing complexity, weight, and maintenance time. To reduce complexity the spool was changed to a one piece system...

  • Utilization of Robot Ankle Torque to Account for Foot Placement Error

    Creator:
    Bernards, Mitchell F.
    Abstract:
    Modern walking robots have shown that dynamic gaits can be achieved without ankle motors. It seems logical that the additional control authority that they provide can be used to improve the stability of the walking gait against foot placement errors caused by low level control. This thesis develops and compares...

  • 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...

  • Preserving the Planar Dynamics of a CompliantBipedal Robot with a Yaw-Stabilizing Foot Design

    Creator:
    Abate, Andrew M.
    Abstract:
    The ATRIAS agile humanoid robot, along with a number of other spring-mass walking machines, currently have two instabilities: one resulting from inertial forces on the torso which cause the robot to spin like a top, and another resulting from stiff ground collisions which cause chattering of the point-contact toes. This...

  • Analysis of Staged Hydraulic Air Compressors

    Creator:
    Shibley-Styer, Ian
    Abstract:
    To investigate the viability of staging hydraulic air compressors (HACs), a model for HACs operating with a closed loop water cycle powered by a pump was made. This model was used to simulate how these HACs would respond to variable heights and mass flow ratios for both single-stage and multi-stage...
