  • Integrated forward light scattering as a measure of aerosol mass concentration

    Creator:
    Tomine, Chris Shinya
    Abstract:
    A mathematical model was developed that relates the ratio, R, of two light flux measurements to the mass concentration, m, of the atmospheric aerosol particles between a source of parallel light (e.g., the sun) and the measuring system. R is defined as the ratio of the light fluxes passing through...

  • A multiscale modeling approach for bubble-vortex interactions in hydro-propulsion systems

    Creator:
    Finn, Justin Richard
    Abstract:
    Multiphase flow dynamics are important in many naval and turbomachinery applications, where bubble interaction with low pressure, vortical structures can lead to undesirable cavitation effects. To better understand the underlying phenomena, a multiscale numerical framework is developed to simulate bubble laden flow in dynamic hydro propulsion systems. Several subproblems in...

  • Single- and multi-functional arrayed microchannel fluidic devices

    Creator:
    Fisher, Luke W.
    Abstract:
    Novel fluidic devices that utilize an array of microchannels to achieve their designed purpose are discussed. Examples of devices include: fuel reforming using Microreactors, chip cooling using microchannel heat sinks, and microchannel devices used for biological applications. The devices that have directly contributed to this research include: a microchannel water...

  • Development of an emission sampling system for a mobile agricultural incinerator

    Creator:
    Hudson, Arthur E.
    Abstract:
    An emmission sampling system was developed to measure pollutants emitted from a mobile agricultural incinerator developed at Oregon State University. The system was designed to collect a particulate sample on an 8" x 10" fiber glass filter and collect a gaseous sample in a plastic bag. Pollutants measured were particulates...

  • A model of ciliary streaming in the respiratory system

    Creator:
    Chambers, Alan B.
    Abstract:
    The respiratory tract is lined with a mucous blanket which is motivated by a ciliated epithelium. This blanket includes a lower serous layer of fluid through which the cilia beat and an upper viscid layer into which particulates from the inhaled air are deposited. The movement of the mucous blanket...

  • NOx emissions for a gas turbine as a function of fuel-bound nitrogen and other variables

    Creator:
    Faye, William C.
    Abstract:
    Emissions of oxides of nitrogen from a small (15 kW) turbine generator burning high fuel bound nitrogen fuels were measured by a chemiluminescence method. Kerosene was used as the base fuel and pyridine was added to achieve different fuel bound nitrogen levels. Mixtures of 0.0%, 0.5%, and 1.0% (by weight)...

  • Particulate and total gaseous hydrocarbon emissions from a gas heated veneer dryer

    Creator:
    Shigehara, Roger T.
    Abstract:
    A source test was conducted to determine the particulate and the total gaseous hydrocarbon emissions from a gas heated veneer dryer. Samples were taken on eight separate days from the exhaust stacks while the dryer was processing Douglas fir veneer. Of the eight days, three was used to determine the...

  • An investigation of the removal of ozone by activated charcoal

    Creator:
    Liffick, Glenn Lonngren
    Abstract:
    The removal of ozone from an air stream by activated-cocoanut charcoal was investigated from the literature and experimentally. The experimental investigation showed that activated-cocoanut charcoal can be used to remove concentrations of ozone less than 1.0 ppm with high efficiencies. The mechanism of the ozone removal appeared to be a...

  • Feasibility of utilizing an integrating nephelometer to measure visibility

    Creator:
    Nelson, William George
    Abstract:
    An integrating nephelometer was set up at the Eugene Airport which is located five miles north of Eugene, Oregon, on Highway 99 West. Continuous atmospheric scattering coefficient readings were obtained from July 1, 1969, to August 28, 1969. These data are converted to meteorological range through the use of the...

  • Sampling submicrometer particles suspended in near sonic and supersonic free jets of air

    Creator:
    Martone, Joseph Arthur
    Abstract:
    This experiment is concerned with sampling submicrometer particles in near sonic and supersonic flows. The study employed a high volume condensation aerosol generator to produce stearic acid particles having a geometric mean diameter of 0.8 μm and a geometric standard deviation of 1.28. The aerosol was diluted with dry air...
