  • Development of a small scale scroll expander

    Creator:
    Harada, Kevin J.
    Abstract:
    The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is a versatile approach in the utilization of waste heat in the production of electricity, clean drinking water, and cooling. The efficiency of these cycles must be maximized to make them economical. Parameters for the optimization of ORCs such as evaporator and condenser temperature have...

  • An experimental/analytical investigation of negatively buoyant jets discharged vertically upward into a crossflow current

    Creator:
    Cavola, Raymond Gene
    Abstract:
    An experimental and analytical study of negatively buoyant jets discharged vertically upward into a crossflow current was conducted to obtain information on the fate of oil well produced water. This information could be used to validate and calibrate the short and intermediate term portions of a computer model used to...

  • Flight Characterization of Small Scale UAV

    Creator:
    Scheer, Jacob
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis was to understand the relation between the actual performance and the design performance of the manufacturing plane which was designed for the 2016 Design/Build/Fly competition. The actual performance was determined using an Arduino Uno based system with data from an accelerometer, gyroscope and pitot tube....

  • 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...

  • Numerical study of flow maldistribution in microchannels using fully resolved simulation

    Creator:
    Martin, Mathieu Georges Charles
    Abstract:
    This thesis addresses numerical simulation of flow maldistribution in microchannels. Microchannels are often associated with two phase-flows which can generate many problems such as plugging the channel or perturbing the flow. In this study we have used CFD and fully resolved technique to simulate what would happen in the case...

  • Vibrations of suspended cables

    Creator:
    Gale, John Gregg
    Abstract:
    The equations of motion of an elastic cable suspended in a viscous medium from two arbitrary points are derived. These are then linearized for the undamped, inextensible case, and it is found that the equations describing the in-plane motion of the cable are then independent of the equation describing the...

  • Practical application of steady-state 6-DoF aerodynamic model for vehicle system loads analysis

    Creator:
    Torris, Connor J.
    Abstract:
    This work develops the Global Formula Racing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model in StarCCM+ to allow for vehicle attitude studies to be ran to evaluate Formula Student (FS) vehicle aerodynamic loads. Attitudes that this model allows to be studied include roll, pitch, yaw, heave, tire angle, and vehicle speed. The...

  • A force plate for measuring contact forces during dependent transfers onboard aircraft

    Creator:
    Schafer, Christopher A.
    Abstract:
    The transfer of air travelers with disabilities between a mobility aid and an aircraft seat is a major source of injury for both the travelers and the airline personnel assisting in the transfer. The risk to both parties might be reduced through the biomechanical study of the transfer task. Such...
