Automated Synthesis of Metal-Organic Frameworks using Graph Grammars and Monte Carlo Tree Search

Creator:: Zhang, Hongyang
Abstract:: In this work, a fully automated approach to synthesis Metal-Organic Frameworks is presented. We use graph to represent the structure of Metal-organic Frameworks and use graph grammars which are backbone rules and functional group rules to generate metal-organic framework. For a given parameter value of the user defined metal-organic framework,...

Predicting Properties of Bio-jet Fuels using Machine Learning and ATR-FTIR Spectroscopy

Creator:: Mayer, Morgan A.
Abstract:: High-potential molecules derived from biomass sources may suitably replace or supplement traditional nonrenewable hydrocarbon fuels to reduce pollution and fuel processing costs. Due to expensive and time-consuming property testing, models that predict key properties from optical data would initially vet potential additives before investment and bench-scale testing. Attenuated Total Reflection...

Computational Modeling of Smoldering Combustion in Wildland Fuels

Creator:: Jayasuriya, Waduge Jayani A.
Abstract:: Smoldering combustion in wildland fires is a critical phenomenon that needs in-depth study because it can initiate with weaker ignition sources, can persist for long periods, is difficult to suppress, and can transit to flaming combustion. Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin are the major organic constituents within biomass, in varying proportions...

Ignition of Fuel Beds by Firebrands

Creator:: Bean, Derek R.
Abstract:: The severity of wildfires around the globe is increasing. At the same time, urban development is expanding outward into areas where severe fires occur. There is an increased risk of home loss to fires in areas where severe fires and urban expansion meet. Ignition of homes or nearby fuel is...

Automated Trunk Diameter Measurement

Creator:: Sankari, Pico
Abstract:: This thesis describes an automated method to estimate tree trunk width in a commer-cial apple orchard. Trunk cross sectional area, which is an important consideration with regards to nutrient uptake, is a feature being integrated in a decision support system for precision Nitrogen management. The data used to generate the...

Design and Testing of the FUEL System: Integrating Engineering and Ethnographic Methods in Global Development Efforts

Creator:: Ventrella, Jennifer L.
Abstract:: Clean cooking technologies and fuels have been cited as a viable way to slow climate change and reduce the health and environmental impacts associated with traditional cooking devices used by 40% of the world. While engineers in the Design for Development sector have created hundreds of stove designs that perform...

An Improved Chemical Kinetic Model Reduction in pyMARS for Liquid Propellants

Creator:: Moore, Cailin J.
Abstract:: The aerospace industry uses chemical kinetic models when designing propulsion systems to acquire specific details about the rate of chemical reactions, heat release, and combustion stability. These models, however, are too large and stiff to be useful as they can take weeks to run computations on. The pyMARS python package...

Experimental Study of the Impact of Physical and Chemical Properties on Smoldering Combustion in Natural Fuels

Creator:: Smucker, Benjamin
Abstract:: Smoldering combustion in wildland fires is difficult to extinguish, can transition to flaming combustion, and produces a significant amount of pollutants. It is necessary to understand parameters controlling smoldering in order to help predict the smoldering behavior and potentially mitigate these hazards. The wide variety of natural fuels that occur...

Rational Fuel Design for Low Temperature Internal Combustion Engines

Creator:: Daly, Shane R.
Abstract:: This work introduces a new methodology to design transportation fuels offering improved efficiency and reduced emissions, aimed to complement both traditional and emerging engine technologies. Many of these emerging technologies are centered around exploiting low temperature combustion (LTC) strategies that offer improved efficiency and reduced emissions. However, a standardized fuel...

Simulating Soot Formation and Growth using a Parallel Coupled Monte Carlo Method

Creator:: Peters, Jordan
Abstract:: Small hydrocarbon particles such as soot and soot precursors pose a serious threat to human health and Earth's climate. Understanding the mechanisms by which soot particles form and grow is the first step to reducing the prevalence of these particles. Computational simulations are used to investigate combusting systems which are...
