  • The Evolution: Electric Vehicles and the End of Oil Addiction

    Creator:
    Donahue, Cory
    Abstract:
    The world is currently using an unsustainable system of meeting its transportation needs with oil. This system is taking a toll on the world environment and on global politics. The physical availability of oil is the system’s most immediate problem and will most likely bring about a transition away from...

  • The Art and Craft of John Williams

    Creator:
    Lincoln, Danae A.
    Abstract:
    The intent of this paper is to bring more attention to the mastery involved with film composition as an art form. The research focuses specifically on the life, style, influences, and works of John Williams as a conductor, film composer, and composer. It addresses his biography, filmography, and working relationships,...

  • Interactions of a fully modulated inclined jet with a crossflow

    Creator:
    Dano, Bertrand P. E.
    Abstract:
    Jets in crossflow are used in a wide range of engineering applications and have been studied for more than 60 years. The transversal penetration and structure of a jet placed in a crossflow is known to be strongly three-dimensional. It is believed that, by using a pulsed jet inclined in...

  • 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...

  • Stability and Liftoff of Non-premixed Large Hydrocarbon Flames in MILD Conditions

    Creator:
    Walters, Eric M.
    Abstract:
    The Moderate or Intense Low-oxygen Dilution (MILD) combustion regime has received interest from the industrial furnace and gas turbine engine industries due to attractive properties of reduced NO[subscript x] emissions and high thermal efficiency. MILD combustion is characterized by low oxygen concentrations (i.e. 3%-9% by volume) and high reactant temperatures....

  • Cryogenic Single-Phase Heat Transfer in a Microscale Pin Fin Heat Sink

    Creator:
    Truong, Eric D.
    Abstract:
    A combined experimental and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study of single-phase liquid nitrogen flow through a microscale pin-fin heat sink is presented. Such cryogenic heat sinks could find use in applications such as high performance computing, spacecraft thermal management, and hydrogen storage thermal management. A circular pin fin heat sink...

  • Carbon fiber chassis design & testing

    Creator:
    Shannon, Eric
    Abstract:
    OSU’s Global Formula Racing (GFR) team creates two carbon fiber chassis each year, one for combustion engine powered the other electric. These two vehicles compete in SAE sanctioned competitions teams and in order to enter they both have to provide design and testing information to prove the vehicle is safe...

  • Study of the Effects of Chain Whip Length and Bar Length on the Characteristics of Chain Shot

    Creator:
    Shannon, Eric R.
    Abstract:
    Timber harvesters are high powered industrial grade rigs used to fell, delimb, and cut to size large trees. Hydraulic motors power sprockets that drive chains around a guide bar that get extended through logs during cuts. As technological advances allow for higher speeds a phenomenon called “chain shot” has...

  • Development of a Framework for Analyzing the Effects of a Micro Pin Fin Array on the Catalytic Combustion of Hydrogen in Micro-channels

    Creator:
    Walters, Eric M.
    Abstract:
    An experimental framework for investigation of the effects of Micro Pin Fin Arrays (MPFA) on the fuel oxidation efficiency of catalytic combustion is presented in this thesis. Complete combustion of the fuel is essential for operation at maximum efficiency and high standards of environmental cleanliness desired in existing microscale combustion...

  • Model predictive control for sagittal plane locomotion

    Creator:
    Maunder, Cary R.
    Abstract:
    A distinct characteristic of legged locomotion is its periodic nature. This periodic motion, in the form of a periodic orbit, has been the target of many walking and running control strategies. The spring loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP) has become a popular model of sagittal plane locomotion, exhibiting behavior characteristic of...
