Achilles Assistance Device as a Passive Ankle Foot Orthosis for Achilles Tendon Injuries

Creator:: Gonnerman, Evan J.
Abstract:: An Achilles tendon injury can be devastating. Surgical methods to bring the muscle to full strength are not always available. Proposed is an ankle foot orthosis (AFO) that is entirely passive (does not add energy to the system) and uses the mechanical advantages provided by the walking gait of a...

Investigation of Destratification in Warehouses

Creator:: Polander, Michael D.
Abstract:: A significant source of energy consumption comes from maintaining desired indoor environment conditions in warehouses and other industrial facilities. In efforts to combat the raising energy costs, studies into more efficient heating and cooling strategies has been a topic of consideration for a number of years. One of the areas...

The Feasibility of Process Intensification of the Water-Gas Shift Reaction using Differential Temperature Microreactors

Creator:: Tolley, Thomas E.
Abstract:: Hydrogen is an increasingly attractive low-carbon energy carrier for a variety of stationary and mobile applications. Currently, the vast majority of hydrogen in the United States is produced via the energy intensive steam reforming of natural gas. The cost and carbon emissions associated with hydrogen production can be reduced by...

Self-adaptive Subsets for Stretched and Rotated Textures in Digital Image Correlation

Creator:: Gao, Zizhan
Abstract:: Digital image correlation (DIC) uses pairs of images, one in a reference state and one after in situ manipulation of the object, to measure full-field displacements and strains by tracking the motion of small image subsets. Subset selection is always a crucial part of DIC technique as it has a...

Development and validation of acoustic measurement techniques for void fraction in concentric annular geometries

Creator:: Tost, Brian C.
Abstract:: This work investigates the acoustic velocity of gas-liquid mixtures in vertical, co-current flow in a concentric annulus. Acoustic velocity shows promise as a detection parameter for the presence and amount of gas in a liquid flow because of its high sensitivity to gas void fraction in a gas-liquid mixture. However,...

Two-Color Laser Induced Fluorescence Imaging of Fluid Temperature for Free Convection and Vapor Condensation

Creator:: McAfee, Rachel
Abstract:: The development of a continuous and reliable cooling method for computer chips is an evolving subject requiring continuous research in both computer science and thermal management. Two-color laser induced fluorescence (LIF) provides a non-invasive way to investigate electronics cooling fluid behavior. Dielectric fluids are of particular interest as they allow...

Modeling hop kilning with respect to energy consumption and drying kinetics

Creator:: Thomas, Matthew W.
Abstract:: Currently, little work has been performed studying energy consumption in hop kilning. This thesis explores drying with an alternative drying schedule that extends the initially elevated drying temperature currently used by growers and examines its impact on drying time and energy use. Extending the time of the initially elevated drying...

Mechanical Behavior of Elastomer Polymer under Shear and Compression: Experimental Investigation Using Digital Image Correlation

Creator:: Raheem, Hassan M.
Abstract:: Due to their viscoelastic properties, polymers and hydrogels are widely used in many applications. In this study, the viscoelastic properties of elastomer polymers were investigated for a series of hydrogel, hydrogel composites and silicon materials. A primary application for hydrogels and hydrogel composites is as a replacement for the degenerated...

Numerical and Experimental Evaluation of Membrane Based Energy Recovery Ventilator Performance with an Internal Support Structure

Creator:: Armatis, Paul D.
Abstract:: Large amounts of energy are wasted when conditioned air in buildings is exhausted to meet ventilation requirements. There are several technologies to recover some of this energy, including the recent development of membrane based energy recovery ventilators (ERVs). ERVs exchange sensible heat and moisture between incoming fresh and outgoing exhaust...

Manufacturing Process Design for a Stamped Microchannel High-Temperature Recuperator

Creator:: Song, Chuankai
Abstract:: Microchannel high temperature recuperators have the advantage of higher heat transfer coefficients and lower size and weight than traditional high temperature recuperators. However, the industrial application of microchannel recuperators are restricted by the high cost of photochemical machining and diffusion bonding. The objective of this paper is to introduce a...
