Design and preliminary characterization of thermally-actuated pumps utilizing Marangoni and Leidenfrost effects

Creator:: Sedler, Stephen Joseph
Abstract:: Design and preliminarily characterization of two thermally-actuated pumps is presented in this thesis. The unique feature of both pumps is the presence of periodic asymmetrical structures on the channel walls. Two heat transfer effects are used with surface asymmetry to generate forces that drive the fluid in a preferential direction...

An experimental study of the acoustical characteristics of dampers in air conditioning systems

Creator:: Yun, Kyung Woo
Abstract:: The noise problem in air conditioning systems is receiving ever increasing attention because of the importance of noise on a comfortable human environment. Some work has been done on the solutions to the noise problem by an investigation of a few system elements. The acourstical characteristics of dampers become more...

Constrained thin film desorption through membrane separation

Creator:: Thorud, Johnathan D.
Abstract:: A constrained thin film desorption scheme has been experimentally tested to determine the desorption rates for water from an aqueous lithium bromide mixture through a confining membrane. Variable conditions include the inlet concentration, pressure differential across the membrane, and channel height. Desorption takes place in a channel created between two...

Vortical Structures in Transition to Turbulence through Randomly Packed Porous Media: Scale, Energy, and Mixing Characteristics

Creator:: Mohammadi Ziazi, Reza
Abstract:: Vortical structures are the driving mechanism of transition to turbulence in porous media requiring adequately resolved observations along with analysis of the scale and energy of ﬂow within the pores. Of speciﬁc interest is to understand the vortex dynamics, energy, and turbulent mixing and transport properties in the scale of...

Optimal soaring by a small autonomous glider

Creator:: Kyle, Jason A.
Abstract:: Extending the flight time of an autonomous unmanned air vehicle by soaring is considered. A suboptimal controller is developed and successful static soaring is demonstrated with a 6 degree of freedom glider model. Altitude gain rates of between ¼ and ½ m/s are achieved with this simple implementation. A hybrid...

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...

The effects of pulsing and blowing ratio on a 45° inclined jet in cross flow

Creator:: Stander, Arjan
Abstract:: The effect of jet flow pulsing and blowing ratio on a jet in cross flow has been investigated. Preliminary jet flow studies were performed without cross flow and an extensive study of jet with cross flow was done for a total of nine test cases. The effect of velocities ratios...
