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...

Comparing the autoignition performance of chemical kinetic models for toluene using data extracted from the literature

Creator:: Mayer, Morgan
Abstract:: Real transportation fuels contain a wide range of hydrocarbon species, and this complexity poses challenges for modeling. Surrogates with a simpler blend of hydrocarbon reference fuels can approximate the physical and chemical characteristics of real fuels and enable practical simulation of the reacting flows that occur in engines and combustors....

Comparing Chemical Kinetic Model Reduction Techniques Using pyMARS

Creator:: Mestas, Phillip O., III
Abstract:: Accurately modeling the chemistry of conventional and alternative liquid transportation fuels in combustion technology is vital to predicting important quantities such as the burning rate, heat release, and pollutant emissions. However, incorporating detailed chemical kinetic models into reactive-ﬂow simulations poses a signiﬁcant challenge due to the associated high computational expense...

An Improved Chemical Kinetic Model Reduction in pyMARS for Liquid Propellants

Creator:: Moore, Cailin J.
Abstract:: The aerospace industry uses chemical kinetic models when designing propulsion systems to acquire specific details about the rate of chemical reactions, heat release, and combustion stability. These models, however, are too large and stiff to be useful as they can take weeks to run computations on. The pyMARS python package...

Electric Actuation of the Main Flight Valves of a Small Bi-Propellant Liquid Engine

Creator:: Edgerton, Jacob M.
Abstract:: The High Altitude Liquid Engine (HALE) team is developing of a 2000 lbf thrust liquid propellant engine for a flight vehicle capable of breaching the Karman Line (100 km in altitude). As part the development of this flight vehicle, this research focuses on the design and characterization of a novel...

Parenting While Being a University Student During the COVID-19 Pandemic: an Oral History Project

Creator:: Patubo, Kyle C.
Abstract:: Student parents are a growing population within college and university campuses. Though their numbers continue to grow, there is no proportionate growth in resources from the universities that are available to them. Issues like this and others that student parents face due to their unique identity were amplified in the...

Environmental DNA reveals cryptic parasite species and gives insight into their fish hosts

Creator:: Phillips, Kyle
Abstract:: Ceratonova shasta is a myxozoan fish parasite that impacts hatchery and wild populations of salmon and trout in the Pacific Northwest. Levels of the parasite in river water can be effectively monitored through direct filtration of parasite spores from water, extraction of total "environmental DNA" (eDNA), then quantitative polymerase chain...

Nongenomic Actions of Steroid Hormones in the Ovine Endometrium

Creator:: Ireton, Kyle E.
Abstract:: The steroid hormone estrogen plays a crucial role in regulating certain mammalian tissues, especially female reproductive systems. Estrogen effects physiological changes in the cell by altering transcription activity for certain target genes, as a consequence of interactions between estradiol-17β (E2) and its nuclear receptor (nER). This mechanism of cellular control...

Analyzing the Hemolytic Effects of a Microchannel-Based Blood Processing Device

Creator:: Botermans, Kyle M.
Abstract:: While hemodialysis is a unique therapy for treating chronic kidney failure, the application of extracorporeal blood processing presents the opportunity for treating a wider range of bloodborne diseases. The objective of the i-Blood research team is to develop a blood processing device that utilizes microscale-based technology as a platform for...

Designing for the Future : A Generalized Software Architecture for Virtual Labs

Creator:: Thompson, Kyle B.
Abstract:: In recent years, simulated laboratory experiences have become more prevalent in educational curricula. These simulations, called virtual labs, can enable learning in ways that are not limited by physical constraints. The development of virtual labs is often ad hoc, resulting in unnecessary, repetitive work. The purpose of this thesis is...
