  • Testing and design procedures for electric propellant pumps for suborbital bi-propellant rockets

    Creator:
    Verna-Ketel, Dominic
    Abstract:
    An electrically driven propellant pump (HALE E-Pump) was analysed and tested to determine its viability for use in a bi-propellant launch vehicle for the High-Altitude Liquid Engine (HALE) student rocket team at Oregon State University (OSU). The pump, manufactured in 2022 by students in OSU machine shops, was hydrostatically tested...

  • Computational Modeling of Smoldering Combustion in Wildland Fuels

    Creator:
    Jayasuriya, Waduge Jayani A.
    Abstract:
    Smoldering combustion in wildland fires is a critical phenomenon that needs in-depth study because it can initiate with weaker ignition sources, can persist for long periods, is difficult to suppress, and can transit to flaming combustion. Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin are the major organic constituents within biomass, in varying proportions...

  • The Influence of Fuel Characteristics on Smoldering Behavior through Porous Fuels

    Creator:
    Ross, Andrew H.
    Abstract:
    Smoldering can play a dangerous role in the ignition and spread of wildfires. Naturally occurring fuels consist of multiple layers of organic materials with varying particle sizes due to differences in decomposition stages with fuel depth, yet the influence of particle size on burning behavior is poorly understood. Previous research...

  • Experimental Study of the Impact of Physical and Chemical Properties on Smoldering Combustion in Natural Fuels

    Creator:
    Smucker, Benjamin
    Abstract:
    Smoldering combustion in wildland fires is difficult to extinguish, can transition to flaming combustion, and produces a significant amount of pollutants. It is necessary to understand parameters controlling smoldering in order to help predict the smoldering behavior and potentially mitigate these hazards. The wide variety of natural fuels that occur...

  • Modeling Methods for Hydraulic Fracturing Wastewater Treatment Applications

    Creator:
    O'Hern, Hannah
    Abstract:
    Modeling of hydraulic fracturing wastewater treatment systems must be very accurate so it can be used for real-time modeling and control of the process. The treatment of hydraulic fracturing wastewater is complex because of the variability of the composition of hydraulic fracturing wastewater. In this work, literature review of hydraulic...
