TO PAY OR NOT TO PAY, THAT IS THE QUESTION

Creator:: Oster, Sidney C.
Abstract:: The “why” of any situation is one of the most important questions to ask. Inventors have ideas every day. Some ideas are the brilliant ideas that lead to a better tomorrow. To protect these ideas, inventors turn to patents, a governmental grant of the right to stop others, for a...

The Mira 2 Rocket Engine: Applying Lessons Learned for an Improved Iteration

Creator:: Dimas-Harms, Colton R.
Abstract:: In this paper, I present the design of Mira 2, a small-scale, liquid bipropellant rocket engine, with a specific focus on its oxidizer-centered pintle injector. Building upon the valuable lessons and insights gained from the empirical testing of its predecessor, Mira 1, the Mira 2 engine incorporates several improvements and...

Interactions of a fully modulated inclined jet with a crossflow

Creator:: Dano, Bertrand P. E.
Abstract:: Jets in crossflow are used in a wide range of engineering applications and have been studied for more than 60 years. The transversal penetration and structure of a jet placed in a crossflow is known to be strongly three-dimensional. It is believed that, by using a pulsed jet inclined in...

An approach to reduced-order modeling and feedback control for wave energy converters

Creator:: Shoori J., Hesam E.
Abstract:: Wave energy holds great promise to be part of the alternative energy portfolio that will provide independence from fossil fuels. As wave energy converter (WEC) technologies mature, designing effective control strategies to extract maximum energy, extend device life, coordinate WEC operation within an array, or mitigate negative impacts of a...

Flow characteristics of semi-confined impinging jet arrays

Creator:: Dano, Bertrand P. E.
Abstract:: The present study proposes to investigate the flow structure of different arrays of jets impinging on a flat surface enclosed by three walls, creating a channel that forces the air to leave in one preferential direction, generating a self sustain crossflow. Details of both the mean and some turbulence quantities...

Predicting Properties of Bio-jet Fuels using Machine Learning and ATR-FTIR Spectroscopy

Creator:: Mayer, Morgan A.
Abstract:: High-potential molecules derived from biomass sources may suitably replace or supplement traditional nonrenewable hydrocarbon fuels to reduce pollution and fuel processing costs. Due to expensive and time-consuming property testing, models that predict key properties from optical data would initially vet potential additives before investment and bench-scale testing. Attenuated Total Reflection...

Computational modeling of Lorentz force induced mixing in alkali seeded diffusion flames

Creator:: Thompson, Jon Ira
Abstract:: Lorentz forces provide a unique method for the control and mixing of gas flows without the physical intrusion of objects into the flow. Lorentz forces arise when an electric current is passed through a volume in the presence of a magnetic field. The interaction between the electric current and the...

Fully developed laminar natural convection in a vertical parallel-plate duct with constant wall heat flux

Creator:: Aktan, Gülçin
Abstract:: The problem of heat transfer due to free convection in a channel formed by two parallel, isoflux, vertical plates is of considerable importance in electronic cooling applications, thermosiphons, the optimum spacing of plates or components, industrial stacks, heat exchangers, nuclear power plants and combustion involving vertical walls. Although in each...

Fully developed laminar natural convection in a vertical parallel plate channel with symmetric uniform wall temperature

Creator:: Willie, Robert H.
Abstract:: Described in this thesis is an investigation of the fully developed natural convection heat transfer in a vertical channel formed by two infinitely wide parallel plates maintained at a uniform wall temperature. Closed-form solutions for the velocity and temperature profiles are developed along with local and averaged Nusselt numbers. The...
