A Permanent-Magnet Linear Generator Wave Energy Converter for Low Power Ocean Sensors

Creator:: Miles, Lillian F.
Abstract:: Renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly important due to their low environmental impact and limitless nature. This thesis explores the design of a 250 mW permanent magnet linear generator wave energy converter to power ocean sensors. While many wave energy converters exist, this is a unique application because the wave...

Assessing Mass Diffusion Modeling in Premixed Flames

Creator:: Fillo, Aaron J.
Abstract:: Implementing multicomponent diffusion in numerical combustion studies is computationally expensive due to the challenges involved in computing diffusion coefficients. As a result, mixture-averaged diffusion treatments or simpler methods are used to avoid these costs. However, the accuracy and appropriateness of the mixture-averaged diffusion model has not been verified for three-dimensional...

A numerical study of the response of Lake Kinneret to wind forcing

Creator:: Vernieres, Guillaume
Abstract:: Lake Kinneret is Israel's only fresh water lake (unless you count the Dead Sea). It spans roughly 20km from north to south, and about 12km at its widest east west extent. It is not quite 50m deep at its deepest point. In late spring, the lake stratifies significantly and remains...

The energy extraction performance of an oscillating rigid and flexible foil

Creator:: Totpal, Alexander D.
Abstract:: The aerodynamic performance of an oscillating pitching and plunging foil operating in the energy harvesting mode is investigated. Experiments are conducted in a closed-loop recirculating wind tunnel at Reynolds numbers of 24,000 to 48,000, and reduced frequencies (k = fc/u) of 0.042 to 0.083. Foil kinematics are varied through the...

Visual study of hydrodynamics in a two-dimensional gas-solid fluidized bed

Creator:: Freeman, Lisa Nalani
Abstract:: Hydrodynamic effects play important roles in fluidized bed combustion processes. Since the motion of "bubbles" is an important influence on fluidized bed heat transfer, a better understanding of their behavior is necessary for improving the design of fluidized bed boilers. Using a two-dimensional bed, silica sand particles were fluidized with...

Energy Harvesting Performance of a Flapping Foil with Leading Edge Motion

Creator:: Prier, Michael W.
Abstract:: Force data for a flapping foil energy harvester with active leading edge motion operating in the low reduced frequency range is collected to determine how leading edge motion affects energy harvesting performance. The foil pivots about the midchord and operates in the low reduced frequency range of 0.06, 0.08, and...

Hydrodynamics of droplet impingement on heated surfaces : effects of nanofluid and nano-structured surface

Creator:: Shen, Jian
Abstract:: This study investigates the hydrodynamic characteristics of droplet impinging on heated surfaces using High Speed High Resolution (HSHR) imaging and evaluates the effect of surface temperature and using water and a nanofluid on a polished and a nano-structured surface. Three types of surfaces are used in the study: polished silicon,...

Phase Separation in Microscale Convective Boiling

Creator:: Lewis, Kevin Terrence
Abstract:: It is hypothesized that extracting the vapor from two-phase flow in a microchannel will result in a lowered pressure drop required to drive the flow. The goal of this thesis is to construct an experimental device that will test this hypothesis by comparing a number of phase separating test conditions...
