A performance comparison of chainsaw bar lubricants

Creator:: Suryan, Levi J.
Abstract:: Chainsaws, an indispensable tool for modern forestry operations, rely on bar lubricant to prevent rapid wear of the chain and bar. Choice of bar lubricant must balance performance, cost, and biological impact. Many bar lubricants are available, but little published work exists that conclusively ranks the performance of these choices....

Design considerations for a miniature atmospheric engine with a magnet-actuated autonomously-reciprocating in-cylinder regenerator for portable power production

Creator:: Yarger, David J.
Abstract:: Driven by the need for high energy-density power sources, demand has stimulated the development of small-scale engines. A small-scale engine with a fuel supply could replace batteries and utilize higher energy-density liquid hydrocarbon fuels; such an advance could deliver a new age of portable devices. Currently, operable small-scale engines exist;...

Mechanical Behavior of Elastomer Polymer under Shear and Compression: Experimental Investigation Using Digital Image Correlation

Creator:: Raheem, Hassan M.
Abstract:: Due to their viscoelastic properties, polymers and hydrogels are widely used in many applications. In this study, the viscoelastic properties of elastomer polymers were investigated for a series of hydrogel, hydrogel composites and silicon materials. A primary application for hydrogels and hydrogel composites is as a replacement for the degenerated...

Preliminary Numerical Study of a Condenser Using Fractal-Like Patterned Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Strips

Creator:: Lazaroff, Spencer A.
Abstract:: Condensers are vital components of power plants and are often one of the most major cost concerns when planning construction. Generally speaking, the surface area required to dissipate the heat generated in the boiler is so great that enormous and expensive structures are necessary. The usage of a hybrid surface...

Post-Preservation Maintenance of Cadavers to Prevent Tissue-Dehydration in Educational Environments

Creator:: Herrera, Alexandria R.
Abstract:: In anatomical education, clinicians, surgeons, and anatomists support the use of human cadavers over digital or artificial alternatives. Cadaver use raises the challenge of preventing tissue dehydration. The OSU cadaver labs attempt to maintain hydration by re-covering the exposed tissues with original skin, layers of plastic wrap, and/or towels and...

Offshore renewable energy : an exploration of techno-economic feasibility and reliability through a computational optimization perspective

Creator:: Clark, Caitlyn E.
Abstract:: Offshore renewable energy (ORE) has the potential to be a significant source of future global electricity production, reduce carbon emissions, decrease dependence on energy importation, and stimulate economic growth in coastal and remote areas. The availability and abundance of ORE, paired with growing coastal population centers, position offshore wind, wave,...

HV Battery Cooling

Creator:: Coleman Boyd
Abstract:: 0.1 Purpose of Report During my time on this project, I have written two reports. My SAE22 ePowertrain report details last year's design, the design process, design changes, and manufacturing in extreme detail. The capstone course report will be useful for future students looking to educate themselves on everything that...

An experimental investigation of radiative and total heat transfer around a horizontal tube immersed in a high temperature gas-solid fluidized bed

Creator:: Alavizadeh, Seyed Nasser
Abstract:: This study is primarily concerned with the measurement of the local radiative component of total heat transfer around a horizontal tube immersed in a large particle fluidized bed at elevated temperatures.Total heat transfer was also measured in order to assess the relative radiation contribution.The radiation measurement probe employs a silicon...

Lift Enhancement of Pliant Wings Through Bio-Mimicry

Creator:: Osterberg, Nathaniel Brent
Abstract:: Flexible aerodynamic surfaces have been shown to favorably influence flight characteristics at low Reynolds numbers by increasing lift, angle of attack at stall, and resistance to perturbation. The objective of the research presented within this thesis is to investigate the influence of two aspects of flight observed in biological flyers,...

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...
