The impacts of ionization chemistry on hydrocarbon detonation

Creator:: Zaiger, Matthew F.
Abstract:: As carbon emissions are negatively impacting ecosystems across the globe, researchers are in a race against time to provide cleaner and more eÿcient power. Detonation engines can help meet the increasing demands for cleaner and more eÿcient power generation by providing an alternative means to use oxy-fuel combustion for carbon...

Design, construction and testing of torsiograph

Creator:: Hamann, David Eugene
Abstract:: The crankshaft of an internal combustion engine experiences torsional vibrations which become critical at certain running speeds and can cause overstressing in the crankshaft, leading to failure in some cases. The object of this study was to design, construct and test an instrument to measure these oscillations at one point...

Identification of Physical and Chemical Processes on Ignition and Burning of Live Fuels

Creator:: Fazeli, Hamid
Abstract:: Wildland fire refers to an unpredictable and uncontrollable fire that happens in wildland areas. Regardless of the beneficial impacts of wildland fires on ecosystems, the destructive impacts of wildfires on air quality, economy, public health, etc. are considerable. An essential goal in the fire community is that the wildland fires...

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...

Systematic design of biologically-inspired engineering solutions

Creator:: Nagel, Jacquelyn Kay
Abstract:: Biological organisms, phenomena and strategies, herein referred to as biological systems, provide a rich set of analogies that can be used to inspire engineering innovation. Biologically-inspired, or biomimetic, designs are publicly viewed as creative and novel solutions to human problems. Moreover, some biomimetic designs have become so commonplace that it...

Bio-Inspired Design of Vehicles that Operate in Complex Environments

Creator:: Jackson, Danielle M.
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on defining underlying mechanisms to enable the bio-inspired design of aerodynamic and/or hydrodynamic vehicles that operate within complex environments. This dissertation introduces four overarching research gaps found in current bio-inspired design research and four corresponding approach questions that guide the framework of the presented research. This research...

Temperature measurement, electrical characteristics, and lorentz mixing of alkali seeded flames

Creator:: Pattee, Heidi Ann
Abstract:: When trace quantities of an alkali element are added to a flame, its optical and electrical properties change significantly. Addition of alkali seed to both premixed and diffusion flames has been used in the development of two new techniques, one for flame temperature measurement and the other for enhanced mixing....

A study of a diffusionally controlled reactive synthesis process using a multi-tube diffusion flame burner

Creator:: Snell, Douglas C.
Abstract:: A continuous process for the production of ceramic materials has been studied. This method reacted metal and oxidizer in a diffusionally controlled process, demonstrated by reacting a magnesium particle stream and hot water vapor. Many small rich hydrogen/air diffusion flames provide an atmosphere of hot water vapor, hydrogen, and nitrogen...
