Knowledge Management and Organization of the Design/Build/Fly Competition and the Capstone Senior Design Class

Creator:: Royce, Anna M.
Abstract:: The Oregon State University chapter of American Institute of Astronautics and Aeronautics competed in the Design/Build/Fly competition for the second time during the 2013/2014 school year. This chapter began at Oregon State in 2012 and still lacks an organized management system for the Design/Build/Fly team that could allow OSU to...

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...

Experimental Design Approach for Evaluation of Airfoil-Driven Energy Harvesting

Creator:: Strahl, Jordan D.
Abstract:: An experimental setup has been partially developed to investigate the impact of an actively controlled trailing edge component upon the energy harvesting performance of an oscillating airfoil in a pitching and heaving regime. While previous and current efforts have and continue to function to characterize the performance of such a...

Advancing Wind Systems Design through Optimization and Improved Modeling

Creator:: Miller, Annalise M.
Abstract:: Wind energy plays an important and growing role in the US energy profile. While other countries have expanded their wind industries into offshore development, large investment costs have hindered progress in the US offshore market despite the larger and more consistent resource available offshore. In this research, I explore the...

Fluidized Bed Reactor Engines

Creator:: Lavrich, Zoe A.
Abstract:: Repurposing internal combustion engines as petrochemical reactors (i.e., Reactor engines) could offer a smaller, scalable alternative to traditional full scale chemical processing facilities. For many chemical processes, incorporating catalyst particles in fluidized beds is expected to result in superior performance over both monoliths and packed beds. Conversion of ethane into...

Development of a reduced-order dynamic model of a jet-in-crossflow from experimental data

Creator:: Pearen, Keith L.
Abstract:: A reduced-order dynamic model is derived that captures the primary dynamics of a jet-in-crossflow. This is significant progress toward the end goal of reduced order model based closed-loop flow control. The reduced order model is a set of differential equations obtained through the use of snapshot based Proper Orthogonal Decomposition...

Integrative Review of Methods for Cognitive Debiasing and Applications in Design

Creator:: Han, Yu L.
Abstract:: Design is a process of decision making. Organizations that are dedicated to systematic support of the design process tend to have higher profit margins. Further, studies of system development have shown that early-stage design mistakes have a large impact on incurred costs. Therefore, it is critical to identify methods to...

The application of ablative laser ultrasonics to an aluminum plate, titanium tube, and welded joints

Creator:: Butler, Chad L.
Abstract:: Laser ultrasonics can be used to nondestructively evaluate structures to determine the existence and location of surface and interior flaws. The goal of this research was to determine if laser ultrasonic techniques can be applied to the inspection of aluminum plate. titanium tubes, and large welded plate structures. The research...

Design, Fabrication, and Evaluation of a Novel High-Performance Resistance Heater Rod for Nuclear Thermal Hydraulic Experimentation

Creator:: Sharaf, Salem A.
Abstract:: The Accident Tolerant Fuels campaign demonstrated a need for nuclear fuel pin simulators to further research fuel and cladding combinations that can withstand off normal conditions in light water reactors. The use of a heater rod as a fuel pin simulator greatly reduces the risk involved during testing as no...

Determination of Mass Flow Rate through Plain Mesh Wick and Nano- Structured Mesh Wick for the Design of Thermal Compressor Systems

Creator:: Uwaoma, Ifeanyi A.
Abstract:: Wicking action refers to the movement of a liquid through a porous or a structured surface via capillary action. This phenomenon is affected by surface geometry, such as the wick thickness and pore size of the wick, as well as fluid properties, such as viscosity and surface tension of the...
