Optimization of staged rankine energy conversion cycles for high efficiency

Creator:: Simmons, Larry Dean
Abstract:: Because of the fuel crisis and problems associated with thermal pollution there is new impetus and urgency for developing more efficient energy conversion systems for power generation. A preliminary analysis was undertaken to determine the potential of staged Rankine cycle systems for substantially higher efficiency. It was necessary to optimize...

Evaluation of total hip arthroplasty research in the US and Europe

Creator:: Simmons, Marcy J.
Abstract:: Background: Hip replacements are considered routine operations which improve the quality of life in patients by reducing pain and restoring function. There are many variations in prostheses with varying benefits and disadvantages. Methods: Literature from the United States and Europe was collected on total hip replacements between 2001 and the...

Understanding Designer Mental Models to Support Computer Directed Analogical Design

Creator:: Arlitt, Ryan M.
Abstract:: Analysis of alternative concepts has a significant impact on design project outcomes, and yet many design teams fail to consider a significantly broad range of conceptual solutions. Within the realm of conceptual design exists a technique called design by analogy (DBA) -- the practice of reapplying old solutions to new...

Additive Manufacturing of FeCrCoCuNi High Entropy Alloy via Laser Powder Bed Fusion and Nickel Aluminum Bronze via Laser Directed Energy Deposition

Creator:: Doyle, Ryan P.
Abstract:: High Entropy Alloys (HEA) exhibit unusual properties and are gaining interest as new materials for challenging applications in the aerospace, hypersonic and medical fields. The application of HEAs have been limited by the development of powder production at scale. A recently developed process of plasma spheroidization by 6K, inc. has...

Performance of a thermally activated cooling system and design of a microchannel heat recovery unit

Creator:: Seward, Ryan
Abstract:: The performance of a combined vapor-compression cycle/ORC is evaluated using waste-heat from a diesel generator. A flat plate microchannel heat exchanger is employed to provide energy exchange between the diesel exhaust stream and an oil loop, which provides energy to a boiler. This study finds an increased diesel duty corresponds...

Grasping complex casting shapes with an underactuated parallel jaw gripper on an industrial robot

Creator:: Carpenter, Ryan Joseph
Abstract:: Steel foundries are in great need of automation as current operations involve many hazardous manual tasks. Automating foundry operations is very challenging due to the variety of tasks that must be performed on physical objects that vary significantly in size, shape, and weight. This thesis focuses on robotically automating the...

Selecting a Marathon Training Program

Creator:: Weismann-Yee, Ryan
Abstract:: The marathon is well noted for the extreme stress it applies to the body and mind. The physiological aspects of marathon training were investigated and examined for someone unfamiliar with the field. Several training programs were investigated within a framework provided by the popular Daniels' Running Formula. By the Formula's...

Co-design of a Jupyter Notebook for wood stove emissions analysis

Creator:: Schofield, Ryan
Abstract:: Designs for improved cookstoves aim to decrease the detrimental environmental and health impacts that are associated with traditional biomass cooking practiced by nearly 40% of the global population. Programs to provide improved cookstoves are found worldwide, and regional testing centers support development of these through emissions testing services. Aprovecho Research...
