Integrated dual cycle energy recovery using thermoelectric conversion and an organic Rankine bottoming cycle

Creator:: Miller, Erik W.
Abstract:: Hot engine exhaust and industrial process exhaust represents a resource that is often rejected to the environment without further utilization. This resource is prevalent in the transportation and industrial process sectors, but stationary engine-generator systems also typically do not utilize this resource. Engine exhaust is considered high grade heat and...

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...

Design, modeling, and performance of miniature reciprocating thermocompressor

Creator:: Edwards, Michael J.
Abstract:: Research in the miniaturization of thermomechanical systems in recent years has proven to be both rewarding and challenging. Micro-scale devices have tremendous technological potential but come with a new set of design problems. One such problem is energy storage. Heat actuated systems, driven primarily by thermal energy, take advantage of...

Shocks and Awe : Damping Selection in Racecars to Maximize Grip

Creator:: Takaro, Trevor M. F.
Abstract:: This thesis covers the use of a quarter car model to select damping rates for aFormula Student (FS) car, focusing on minimizing vertical tire force variation to improvegrip. A 2 degree of freedom (DOF) quarter car model is cycled over the road frequenciesof interest and the results compared with the...

Achieving Transparency in Human-Collective Systems

Creator:: Roundtree, Karina A.
Abstract:: Collective robotic systems are biologically-inspired and exhibit behaviors found in spatial swarms (e.g., fish), colonies (e.g., ants), or a combination of both (e.g., bees). Collective robotic system popularity continues to increase due to their apparent global intelligence and emergent behaviors. Many applications can benefit from the incorporation of collectives, including...

Transient fuel pin temperature calculations using describing functions

Creator:: Guidotti, Timothy E.
Abstract:: An important element in rector safety and fuel performance assessments is the efficient calculation of the time dependent temperature profiles within reactor fuel pins. Because the fuel pins have temperature dependent thermal properties, the governing partial differential equations are nonlinear. Traditionally, finite difference or finite element methods have been used...

A framework for assessing and improving the resilience of complex engineered systems during the early design process

Creator:: Mehrpouyan, Hoda
Abstract:: As modern systems continue to increase in size and complexity, they pose significant safety and risk management challenges. System engineers and much of the government research efforts are focused on understanding the attributes and characteristics that emerge from the interactions of components and subsystems. As a result, the objective of...

Risk-based design for multidisciplinary complex systems

Creator:: Farhangmehr, Farzaneh
Abstract:: The ultimate goal of large-scale design organizations are mainly to reduce costs and improve reliability and performance of systems while assessing how much risk (cost, schedule, scope) they can take and still remain competitive. To achieve this goal they need to develop tools to reach the most preferred design product...
