Integrated Evaluation of Drinking Water Purification: A Mixed-Method Laboratory and Field Assessment of a Biomass-Powered Water Treatment Technology

Creator:: Burleson, Grace Ellen
Abstract:: The global water crisis is defined as one of the major threats facing humankind over the next decade with over 1 in 10 people lacking access to clean drinking water worldwide. An estimated 1.2 million people pasteurize their drinking water by using boiling as an indicator. Pasteurization is the process...

Energy resource conservation in new large power plants

Creator:: King, David C.
Abstract:: This thesis evaluates new, large power generating plants of the various types expected to be practicable in the time span of the next 50 years. By using thermodynamic principles, the plants are evaluated on the basis of conservation of energy; the basic assumption is that the best policy is the...

Dynamic measurement of Timoshenko beam shear coefficient

Creator:: Nelson, Daniel Loren
Abstract:: The Timoshenko beam theory, as an engineering alternative to the elementary and exact theories, introduces a factor, k', called the shear coefficient which has been given various interpretations and values. It is the objective of this study to experimentally evaluate k' for a brass bar of rectangular cross-section. Analytical results...

Radiation Emissions from Turbulent Diffusion Flames Burning Large Hydrocarbon Fuels

Creator:: Zeuthen, Eric D.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to measure and compare radiation emissions from flames burning large hydrocarbon fuels to assist in understanding how the molecular composition changes radiation emissions. Radiative heat transfer is significant because it is a primary mode of heat transfer for many combustion devices. This study also...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: 300º C. The radiative heat flux and the radiation intensity were measured using a radiometer and a

Vortical Structures in Transition to Turbulence through Randomly Packed Porous Media: Scale, Energy, and Mixing Characteristics

Creator:: Mohammadi Ziazi, Reza
Abstract:: Vortical structures are the driving mechanism of transition to turbulence in porous media requiring adequately resolved observations along with analysis of the scale and energy of ﬂow within the pores. Of speciﬁc interest is to understand the vortex dynamics, energy, and turbulent mixing and transport properties in the scale of...

Calculation of the pressure distribution on a pitching airfoil with application to the Darrieus Rotor

Creator:: Ghodoosian, Nader
Abstract:: An analytical model leading to the pressure distribution on the cross section of a Darrieus Rotor Blade (airfoil) was constructed. The model was based on the inviscid flow theory and the contribution of the nonsteady wake vortices was neglected. The analytical model was translated into a computer code in order...

Transient fuel pin temperature calculations using describing functions

Creator:: Guidotti, Timothy E.
Abstract:: An important element in rector safety and fuel performance assessments is the efficient calculation of the time dependent temperature profiles within reactor fuel pins. Because the fuel pins have temperature dependent thermal properties, the governing partial differential equations are nonlinear. Traditionally, finite difference or finite element methods have been used...

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...

Performance and optimum design analysis/ computation for propeller type wind turbines

Creator:: Walker, Stel Nathan
Abstract:: Development of a performance analysis for propeller type wind turbines is presented. The analysis uses a strip theory approach that includes tip-loss and blade interference. A comparison is presented between analysis and test data. The comparison indicates that the analysis predicts wind turbine performance to an accuracy that is within...
