A study of the characteristics of oscillatory surface instabilities leading to droplet formation

Creator:: Daniels, Brian J.
Abstract:: The characteristics of the free surface in an orifice driven by a periodic forcing function have been studied both theoretically and experimentally. In the theoretical study, two wall boundary condition cases were examined: 1) the radial velocity at the wall of the orifice is zero; and 2) the axial velocity...

Advancing forced draft biomass cookstove technology with computational fluid dynamics modeling

Creator:: Cassidy, Liam J
Abstract:: Today, billions of people are limited to using biomass-fueled traditional fires as a primary energy source for cooking and purification of drinking water. Reliance on open burning of biomass leads to exposure to high levels of household air pollution which has been estimated to claim over 1.5 million lives annually,...

An approach to reduced-order modeling and feedback control for wave energy converters

Creator:: Shoori J., Hesam E.
Abstract:: Wave energy holds great promise to be part of the alternative energy portfolio that will provide independence from fossil fuels. As wave energy converter (WEC) technologies mature, designing effective control strategies to extract maximum energy, extend device life, coordinate WEC operation within an array, or mitigate negative impacts of a...

Experimental Validation of the Hydrodynamic Coefficients for an Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converter

Creator:: Bentivoglio, Marine M. J.
Abstract:: Resulting from the action of wind over open water surfaces, water waves contain colossal amounts of energy that has not yet been harnessed. Seen as a very promising source for renewable energy generation, many studies have tried to make wave energy a cost competitive source by investigating optimal designs of...

Student Club Analysis: The Effects of Organizational Structuring on Competition Performance

Creator:: Chandler, Jacob J.
Abstract:: This thesis aims to explore the effects of organizational and management principles within the context of a student club – an international Formula Student team. Research on the effects of organizational structuring on student club performance tends to be qualitative in nature. While considering the inherent complexity of the human...

The Mira 2 Rocket Engine: Applying Lessons Learned for an Improved Iteration

Creator:: Dimas-Harms, Colton R.
Abstract:: In this paper, I present the design of Mira 2, a small-scale, liquid bipropellant rocket engine, with a specific focus on its oxidizer-centered pintle injector. Building upon the valuable lessons and insights gained from the empirical testing of its predecessor, Mira 1, the Mira 2 engine incorporates several improvements and...

Natural convection and conduction in a vertical annulus with a concentric baffle : a numerical study

Creator:: Fishbaugher, Mark J.
Abstract:: Analytical and numerical study of steady-state laminar natural convection and conduction has been performed for an enclosure between concentric vertical cylinders. The inner and outer cylinders were isothermal, and the connecting top and bottom walls were adiabatic. A concentric baffle was included in the annulus, and the flow field and...

Polycarbonate as a photoplastic stress freezing material

Creator:: Broderick, John Justin
Abstract:: Dead weight creep tests were conducted on polycarbonate in order to determine if it is a linear viscoelastic material; or if it is not, then to determine the feasibility of photoplastic stress freezing. Secondary objectives were: the determination of the parameters in the creep compliance of a four element viscoelastic...

A study of bubble size in a large particle fluidized bed at elevated temperatures

Creator:: Hockman, Jeffrey Nathan
Abstract:: The literature cites several examples of investigations made concerning the size of bubbles rising in small particle fluidized beds at room temperature. In many practical applications, however, fluidized beds require the use of large particles at very high temperatures. Despite this fact, little information has been reported on bubble size...

A photoelastic stress analysis of a beam under shear and compressive loads

Creator:: Bitting, Kenneth Robert
Abstract:: The determination of failure is complicated when a structural element is subjected to combined rather than simple stresses. This is especially true when the principle of superposition does not apply. For such cases, tests of the element under the expected loads are required to determine its failure criteria. In this...
