An aeroelastic analysis of the Darrieus wind turbine

Creator:: Meyer, Edward Earnest
Abstract:: The stability of small oscillations of the troposkeinshaped blade used on Darrieus wind turbines is investigated. The blade is assumed to be attached to a perfectly rigid rotor shaft and spinning in still air. Linear equations of motion are derived which include the effects of in-plane, out-of-plane, and torsional stiffness,...

Airborne sampling of particles emitted to the atmosphere from Kraft paper mill processes and their characterization by electron microscopy

Creator:: Augustine, Frank Edward
Abstract:: A high volume sampling system, employing Nuclepore filters and designed for sampling particulate in the plumes from industrial sources using a light aircraft, is described. The effluent of kraft paper mills was sampled using this system and then analyzed by electron microscopy. Size distributions of particles were obtained at several...

Thermophysical properties and temperature response of surimi-- measurement and modeling

Creator:: Wang, De-qian
Abstract:: Freezing is one of the important technologies for preservation of foods. In this project, using surimi as a food model, thermophysical properties of frozen foods were evaluated and the freezing process was simulated using a finite element package. To measure temperature-dependent thermal conductivity, a line-source probe system was used. Effects...

Experimental Investigations of the Unsteady Aerodynamics of Oscillating Airfoils Operating in the Energy Harvesting Regime

Creator:: Siala, Firas F.
Abstract:: The rising global trend to reduce dependence on fossil fuels has provided significant motivation toward the development of alternative energy conversion methods and new technologies to improve their efficiency. Recently, oscillating energy harvesters have shown promise as highly efficient and scalable turbines, which can be implemented in areas where traditional...

Derivation and automatic generation of Kane's dynamical equations for mechanical manipulators

Creator:: Nie, Tinglin
Abstract:: To design and precisely control a manipulator requires developing an efficient dynamic model of the system. The present work demonstrates how this can be accomplished by employing Kane's dynamical equations. First, a detailed manual derivation of the equations of motion for a particular robot is presented in such way that...

Systematic design of biologically-inspired engineering solutions

Creator:: Nagel, Jacquelyn Kay
Abstract:: Biological organisms, phenomena and strategies, herein referred to as biological systems, provide a rich set of analogies that can be used to inspire engineering innovation. Biologically-inspired, or biomimetic, designs are publicly viewed as creative and novel solutions to human problems. Moreover, some biomimetic designs have become so commonplace that it...

Analysis and simulation of dual-source heat pumps with three-fluid evaporators

Creator:: Lee, Jai-hyo
Abstract:: When the ambient temperature drops, air-source heat pumps deliver less heating per unit of power input and usually cannot provide for the heating load. Therefore, dual-source heat pumps can offer an attractive alternative. In the context of this work, a dual-source heat pump operates as an air-source unit under normal...

Stagnation point heat transfer in a relaxing gas

Creator:: Wilson, Robert E.
Abstract:: Stagnation point heat transfer in a gas undergoing relaxation of its internal energy is examined by solution of the equations of motion using the two temperature approach of Wang Chang and Uhlenbeck. The results are presented in parametric form and show that relaxation effects produce an adiabatic wall temperature above...

A model of ciliary streaming in the respiratory system

Creator:: Chambers, Alan B.
Abstract:: The respiratory tract is lined with a mucous blanket which is motivated by a ciliated epithelium. This blanket includes a lower serous layer of fluid through which the cilia beat and an upper viscid layer into which particulates from the inhaled air are deposited. The movement of the mucous blanket...
