Photonic Sintering of Nanoparticle Inks : Experimental Characterization, Computational Modeling and System Design for Additive Manufacturing

Creator:: MacNeill, William D.
Abstract:: Photonic sintering of nanoparticles is a relatively new process for sintering of nanoparticles, deposited on a substrate, into functional solid structures. The working principle of this process is the incidence of large-area broad-spectrum light onto deposited nanoparticles, which results in heat generation in the nanoparticles and their subsequent densification. Key...

Wave Energy Converter Array Optimization : Algorithm Development and Investigation of Layout Design Influences

Creator:: Sharp, Christopher J.
Abstract:: Realizing the vast amount of energy available in ocean waves, an industry has emerged that is progressing towards the deployment of grid–connected wave energy converters. Likely to be deployed in arrays, a challenge to the wave energy industry is maximizing the energy production of such arrays. We have been developing...

Optimization of staged rankine energy conversion cycles for high efficiency

Creator:: Simmons, Larry Dean
Abstract:: Because of the fuel crisis and problems associated with thermal pollution there is new impetus and urgency for developing more efficient energy conversion systems for power generation. A preliminary analysis was undertaken to determine the potential of staged Rankine cycle systems for substantially higher efficiency. It was necessary to optimize...

Energy use coefficients for irrigation system materials

Creator:: Daskalakis, George H.
Abstract:: Finite, uncertain, and increasingly expensive energy resources require a better understanding of energy utilization in all sectors of the national economy including agriculture. A significant portion of energy used in agriculture is required for the manufacturing, installation, transporting, and operation of irrigation systems. Quantification of the amounts of energy used...

Determination of Mass Flow Rate through Plain Mesh Wick and Nano- Structured Mesh Wick for the Design of Thermal Compressor Systems

Creator:: Uwaoma, Ifeanyi A.
Abstract:: Wicking action refers to the movement of a liquid through a porous or a structured surface via capillary action. This phenomenon is affected by surface geometry, such as the wick thickness and pore size of the wick, as well as fluid properties, such as viscosity and surface tension of the...

Evaluation of Materials for Use in Open-Cycle Magnetohydrodynamic Power Generation

Creator:: Bowen, Michael S.
Abstract:: Recent interest in oxy-fuel combustion for carbon capture, as well as advancements in technologies such as magnetics, materials, and computational modeling has sparked renewed interest in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power generation. The increased temperatures of oxy-fuel combustion versus air-fuel combustion poses a challenge in the selection of materials for plasma exposed...

Fouling Characterization in Hypersaline Wastewater Treatment

Creator:: Messer, Morgan S.
Abstract:: Water supplies are diminishing worldwide and by 2025 two thirds of the population could be living in regions of water scarcity (local demand for water is greater than water supply). One method to increase available water sources is to use desalination technologies to separate water from saline solutions. While desalination...

Wave Energy From Idea, to Concept, to Converter: Structuring Methods for Design and Evaluation of Wave Energy Devices

Creator:: Trueworthy, Ali May
Abstract:: The amount of energy we use and the ways that we get that energy sit on the edge of dramatic change as the carbon budget which can keep the planet under 1.5C of global average temperature increase gets smaller (Allen, 2018). In response, we continue to research and develop renewable...
