Evaluation of Adoptability : The Iterative Development of an Energy Production Device for the Middle School Classroom

Creator:: Heck, Samuel T.
Abstract:: This study conducts follow up research to my Mechanical Engineering Senior Project that was completed in March 2015. It follows the Student Powered Hydro and Entertainment Device (SPHED) as it is used in various middle school and high school classrooms. SPHED has three modules: a power generation module, a hydropower...

Towards reliable and survivable ocean wave energy converters

Creator:: Brown, Adam C.
Abstract:: Ocean wave energy is a new and developing field of renewable energy with great potential. The energy contained in one meter of an average wave off the coast of Newport Oregon could supply dozens of homes with electricity. However, ocean waves are usually quite irregular which leads to large bursts...

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Propulsion

Creator:: Brown, Sean
Abstract:: There is a growing US interest in UAVs for many applications ranging from agriculture to military. One area of improvement that can be realized in each category is propulsion. Engines with greater efficiency would result in longer mission duration, leading to cost savings and increased usefulness for UAV owners and...

The effects of ocean variability and breaking waves on wave energy converter reliability and survivability

Creator:: Brown, Adam
Abstract:: The reliability and survivability of a wave energy converter (WEC) is highly dependent on the variability and non-linearity of the ocean itself. Ocean variability occurs on many time scales. Climate variability occurs decade-to-decade, and year-to-year in the number and intensity of winter storms. Seasonal variation of wave height and period...

Design and Optimization of a 1 kW Hybrid Powertrain for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Creator:: Brown, Sean P.
Abstract:: A 1 kW series hybrid powertrain was developed at Oregon State University for use in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This powertrain was designed to give mission flexibility and increased flight time to fixed-wing vertical takeoff and landing UAVs and multirotor UAVs. The powertrain components, an internal combustion engine and a...

Condensation of a zeotropic mixture, R-454C, and its individual components, R-1234yf and R-32, in microfin tubes

Creator:: Matty, Ethan P.
Abstract:: This work compares the condensation heat transfer and pressure drop for zeotropic refrigerant R-454C and its individual components, R-32 and R-1234yf, in horizontal microfin tubes. One microfin tube has a 4 mm outer diameter, 0.18 mm wall thickness, and a surface area ratio of 1.56. The second tube has a...

Evaluation of system-level performance of closed thermochemical energy storage systems for space heating

Creator:: Rivera, Kate E.
Abstract:: This study evaluates the system efficiency and energy-offsetting capabilities of a closed-cycle thermochemical energy storage (TCES) system. Current TCES research primarily focuses on material selection and reactor design but overlooks the practical limitations faced on a system level. Thus, this study investigates various TCES integration methods for providing building space...
