Part-Load Optimization of an Organic Rankine Cycle

Creator:: Ramsey, Owen
Abstract:: Waste-heat-recovery Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems use excess heat from industrial processes to produce electrical power. In many cases, the temperatures and mass flow rates of these excess-heat streams vary significantly over time, causing the ORC to often operate far from its design point. In this study, a control strategy...

Characterization and Prediction of Reactive Forces for Compressed 3D Printed Hyperelastic Lattice Structures

Creator:: So, David M.
Abstract:: In order to generate practical ways to easily design functional flexible lattice structures, this research seeks to find a way to predict reactive forces of compressed hyperelastic cubic lattice structures. Using 3D printed test coupons, material data was collected for use in finite element analysis. Cubic lattice structures with varying...

Achilles Assistance Device as a Passive Ankle Foot Orthosis for Achilles Tendon Injuries

Creator:: Gonnerman, Evan J.
Abstract:: An Achilles tendon injury can be devastating. Surgical methods to bring the muscle to full strength are not always available. Proposed is an ankle foot orthosis (AFO) that is entirely passive (does not add energy to the system) and uses the mechanical advantages provided by the walking gait of a...

Experimental Investigation of Near-Critical Carbon Dioxide in Microchannels for High Flux Cooling Applications

Creator:: Travers, Kristen
Abstract:: With the continued decrease in size and subsequent increase in power of computer processors, thermal management in electronics is becoming more important than ever before. The chip heat densities are reaching new peaks (> 100 W cm-2) that current cooling methods are not able to keep up with. However, some...

Post-Preservation Maintenance of Cadavers to Prevent Tissue-Dehydration in Educational Environments

Creator:: Herrera, Alexandria R.
Abstract:: In anatomical education, clinicians, surgeons, and anatomists support the use of human cadavers over digital or artificial alternatives. Cadaver use raises the challenge of preventing tissue dehydration. The OSU cadaver labs attempt to maintain hydration by re-covering the exposed tissues with original skin, layers of plastic wrap, and/or towels and...

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...

Development of Two-Color Laser Induced Fluorescence Fluid Temperature Imaging for Free Convection Heat Transfer Applications

Creator:: McAfee, Rachel C.
Abstract:: The development of a continuous and reliable cooling method for computer chips is an evolving subject requiring continuous research in both computer science and thermal management. Two-dye laser induced fluorescence (LIF) provides a minimally invasive way to investigate electronics cooling fluid behavior. Dielectric fluids are of particular interest as they...

Effects of nickel addition In Cu-Zr-Hf-Al metallic glass matrix

Creator:: Miska, John
Abstract:: Metallic glasses (also referred to as amorphous metals) have been gaining interest in the materials science community in recent years. These amorphous materials demonstrate promising properties compared to their crystalline counterparts that include much higher strength and elastic strain limit, better corrosion and wear resistance, superior soft magnetism, and an...

The Use of Fractal-Like Bifurcating Flow Channels for Biological Targeted Cooling

Creator:: Stottlemyre, Wyatt
Abstract:: In the wake of climate change, the risk of heat related illnesses has continuously increased over the past several decades. While thermal management solutions have continued to improve, there is a need for efficient cooling systems that conform with the human body. This study combines the solutions from fractal-like flow...

Design and Fabrication of a Public Locker for Non-Motorized Watercraft

Creator:: Cordisco, Jonathan
Abstract:: Visitors to waterways need a way to securely lock up their non-motorized watercrafts to allow for exploration of the local area and communities. The Willamette Water Trail Steering committee recognized this problem and approached the Oregon State University Prototype Development lab to develop and fabricate a solution. The engineering design...
