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...

A numerical analysis of ice fog produced by automobiles

Creator:: Nelson, William George
Abstract:: A model of an exhaust plume was developed and programmed on a digital computer. The purpose of the model was to predict the concentration and size distribution of ice particles produced from automobile exhaust during arctic conditions. The model accounted for the nucleation, growth, and freezing of the condensed water...

Design and analysis of a high speed dynamic tow carriage

Creator:: Lovejoy, Steven C.
Abstract:: A need exists to develop a high speed dynamic tow carriage used to motivate hydrodynamic specimens through a fluid environment. It is desired to simulate high Reynolds number unsteady flow about the specimen by towing the specimen through the fluid. The fluid environment is to be provided by the existing...

Development of acoustic emissions testing procedures applicable to conventionally reinforced concrete deck girder bridges subjected to diagonal tension cracking

Creator:: Lovejoy, Steven C.
Abstract:: A need exists to develop a non-destructive testing technique that can identify the formation and propagation of diagonal tension cracks in conventionally steel reinforced concrete deck girder (RCDG) highway bridges in the State of Oregon. Such a technique could be included into a structural health monitoring (SHM) system installed on...

Design and construction of a small electric service vehicle

Creator:: Holt, Steven Charles
Abstract:: In an effort to fill an existing need two small electric service vehicles were designed, constructed, and tested. The first acted as a feasibility study and the second as a design prototype. The vehicles had low cost and the capability of being fabricated by their users as two main design...

Geothermal well downhole heat exchanger design analysis

Creator:: Kreitlow, David Brian
Abstract:: The low temperature geothermal resource at Klamath Falls, Oregon is widely used for heating buildings. A common technique for using this resource consists of a heat exchanger down in the well inside a casing which extends the full length of the well. Slots are cut in the casing to allow...

Modelling and flow measurement of shallow geothermal systems with downhole heat exchangers

Creator:: Miles, Charles Ray
Abstract:: The low temperature geothermal deposits in the Klamath Falls area are commonly used for heating buildings. The system often used to accomplish this consists of a heat exchanger that extends the full length of the casing within the well. This casing has slots cut in it to allow geothermal water...

Thermal energy recovery from large transformers

Creator:: Yao, Barry
Abstract:: This thesis is concerned with designing and simulating waste energy retrieval systems from large transformers to provide heating and cooling of a control house. The transformer selected is Transformer Bank One at the Ross Substation in the BPA system. The unit is an ASEA 250 MVA transformer with forced oil,...

Experimental investigation of natural convection from an array of uniformly heated horizontal cylinders to mercury

Creator:: Wang, Deing
Abstract:: An experimental investigation was conducted to better understand the heat transfer process with natural convection from an array of uniformly heated horizontal cylinders to mercury. Five assembly geometries were studied, these being the single horizontal cylinder, two cylinders with spacing ratios S/D = 2,3 and 4, (S represents the center-to-center...
