  • Removal of cryoprotectant with the use of a microseparation device

    Creator:
    Lusianti, Ratih E.
    Abstract:
    Cryoprotectants (CPAs) such as glycerol and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) are commonly used during cryopreservation of cell based therapeutics. Although these additives are beneficial during freezing, it is often desirable to remove them before infusion into a patient. Currently, the most common method for CPA removal is by centrifugation. This method...

  • Insights into the Geochemical Evolution of the Youngest Toba Tuff (Sumatra, Indonesia) Magma Chamber Through the Lens of Zircon-hosted Melt Inclusions

    Creator:
    Lerner, Allan
    Abstract:
    Supervolcanic eruptions are among the most catastrophic phenomena on Earth, erupting 100s-1000s of cubic kilometers of magma, and producing devastating local effects and global climate perturbations. The largest supervolcanic eruption of the last 28 Ma was the 74 ka Youngest Toba Tuff (YTT) eruption from Sumatra, Indonesia, which erupted 2,800...

  • Advection-diffusion in inertial flow through periodically converging-diverging tubes

    Creator:
    Lambert, Adam
    Abstract:
    A direct numerical simulation of advection-diffusion in a sinusoidal tube was carried out using the commercial finite-volume code STAR-CD. The Reynolds numbers varied from Re = 0.1 to Re = 14.5. At the larger Reynolds numbers, steady-state eddies formed in the diverging sections and significantly influenced the macroscale dispersion. Long...

  • Deep ultraviolet solid-state laser development

    Creator:
    Dutton, David A. (David Adam)
    Abstract:
    There is a new possibility of generating deep ultraviolet laser radiation from a solid-state source. With recent advances in material development, a new nonlinear optical crystal provides a greater damage threshold than current materials making higher conversion efficiencies possible. This thesis examines the possibility of using this crystal to generate...

  • Mass transfer of urea, creatinine and vitamin B-12 in a microchannel based membrane separation unit

    Creator:
    Warner-Tuhy, Alana
    Abstract:
    Micro energy and chemical systems (MECS) are microfluidic systems where energy and chemical processes can be intensified by decreasing the characteristic length. This project focused on bulk fluid processing using MECS technology to intensify the mass transport of a dialyzer. The objective of this project was to design a model...

  • Hydroelastic modeling of a wave energy converter using the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian finite element method in LS-DYNA

    Creator:
    Meicke, Stephen A.
    Abstract:
    This thesis investigates the applicability of the finite element method to model wave energy converter (WEC) hydroelasticity using LS-DYNA. The proposed methodology uses the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation to model Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) between the WEC and the fluid elements. This formulation allows for time-domain modeling of higher order effects such...

  • Modelling Thin Liquid Film Draining of Bubbles on Porous Media in Confined Geometry

    Creator:
    Bahm, Jared S.
    Abstract:
    The behavior of the thin liquid film formed between a bubble and hydrophobic membrane is of high interest in applications where separating two-phase mixtures is beneficial. One such application is in-situ vapor extraction heat sinks. In these systems, high heat transfer rates are accomplished by taking advantage of the high...

  • Fluid flow on interacting, deformable surfaces

    Creator:
    Neill, Patrick
    Abstract:
    Fluid simulation is an interesting research problem with a wide range of applications including mechanical engineering, special effects in movies and games, and scientific simulation. Due to the complex nature of typical fluid flow equations, there are circumstances where a full volumetric fluid simulation may not be necessary to generate...

  • Predicting deep water breaking wave severity

    Creator:
    Hovland, Justin
    Abstract:
    Ocean Wave Energy Converters (WECs) operating on the water surface are subject to storms and other extreme events. In particular, high and steep waves, especially breaking waves, are likely the most dangerous to WECs. A method for quantifying the breaking severity of waves is presented and applied to wave data...

  • Demonstration of fiber optic distributed temperature sensing to differentiate cold water refuge between ground water inflows and hyporheic exchange

    Creator:
    Collier, Michael W.
    Abstract:
    Recent developments in Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) have allowed new insight into the surface-to-ground water interaction. The continuous temperature measurement by the DTS allows for cool water inflows to be located during warm summer months. These cool water inflows can then be differentiated between ground water and hyporheic exchange. The...
