Women in engineering: A video exploration and analysis of under-representation

Creator:: Chi, Justin L.
Abstract:: In a society where equality is sought as the norm, occupational gender representation is still skewed in some disciplines. One field where gender equality in representation has not yet been achieved is engineering, whether in college or at the professional level. This imbalance is not only a potentially vicious cycle...

Waste Heat Recovery Using Thermochemical Energy Storage

Creator:: Walker, Irene
Abstract:: Industrial waste heat composed of saturated liquid water can be redirected to charge a thermochemical energy storage (TCES) system. This energy can be stored long-term in the inherently energy-dense chemical bonds and used for space heating. Initial reactor scale cycling experiments were conducted in tandem with TCES material improvements. Hydration...

Transient Electron Donor Concentration Experiments for the Determination of Dehalogenation Rate and Kinetic Parameter Shifts in an Anaerobic Microbial Culture

Creator:: Green, Jennifer K.
Abstract:: Trichloroethene (TCE) is a common groundwater contaminant. Bioremediation, or the enhancement of natural microbial processes for the transformation of toxic compounds in soil and groundwater, is an effective solution to this widespread problem. The organisms that transform TCE in the subsurface are sensitive to environmental conditions, especially to the presence...

The Effects of UV Irradiation on the Biosorption of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles to Heterotrophic Biomass

Creator:: Young, William M.
Abstract:: The production of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles has increased significantly in the past decades, which has generated concern due to their known toxicity in the environment. As a result of the production, use and disposal of productions containing TiO2, TiO2 nanoparticles are often received by wastewater treatment facilities. The adsorption...

The Effect of Drainage Flow Rate on Fluid Connectivity; Application to Geologic CO₂ Sequestration

Creator:: Bertoch, Madison
Abstract:: Geologic CO₂ sequestration is a climate change mitigation strategy that involves the injection of supercritical CO₂ into deep underground rock formations. This thesis focuses on capillary trapping in which capillary forces immobilize CO₂ bubbles at the pore scale. During injection of supercritical CO₂, brine is displaced in what is known...

Testing a Theoretical Model that Predicts Extinction of Populations Forced by Random, Episodic Disturbances

Creator:: Olsen, Conner J.
Abstract:: We do not fully understand reasons behind extinction of populations and species. Consequently, our ability to anticipate extinction (which can be considered a permanent type of an ecological threshold) has remained elusive. In particular, it is not clear how the attributes of episodic disturbance regimes can elicit extinction. In this...

Quantification of C60 Particle Characteristics in Environmentally Relevant Aqueous Systems

Creator:: Adlong, Michelle R.
Abstract:: The production of the fullerene C60 and its emerging applications in consumer products imply its ultimate release to the environment. Due to the molecule’s relative novelty, the aqueous characteristics of C60 have not been fully assessed, though it may potentially harm human or ecological health. C60 is highly insoluble in...

Photocatalytic Treatment of Stormwater Runoff using Puralytics LilyPad

Creator:: Laurance, Jon
Abstract:: Stormwater picks up pollutants as it flows over impervious surfaces before ending up in water resources. Best management practices are implemented to remove pollutants from stormwater. Puralytics manufactures a stormwater treatment product called the LilyPad. The LilyPad consists of a titanium dioxide nanoparticle photocatalyst immobilized on polypropylene substrate. Treatment of...

Modeling the effect of longwave radiation from solar panels on soil moisture

Creator:: Shepard, Laurel A.
Abstract:: Agrivoltaics, which integrates photovoltaic power production with agriculture in the same plot of land, has the potential to reduce land competition and crop irrigation. To optimize agrivoltaic systems for crop growth, energy pathways must be characterized. While solar panels shade the crops, they also emit longwave radiation. At the end...

Kinetic analysis of the aerobic degradation of chlorinated ethenes by the mycobacterium ELW-1 and chlorinated ethanes and ethenes by rhodococcus rhodochrous ATCC® 21198™

Creator:: Rich, Stephanie L.
Abstract:: Bioremediation of chlorinated ethenes by the augmentation of contaminated soils with microorganisms is a proposed method of reducing contaminant concentrations in groundwater. To determine the viability of using ELW-1 or R. rhodochrous for groundwater remediation, kinetic analyses of transformation rates must be performed. The focus of this research was to...
