An internal convective heating technique for diffusion bonding highly parallel microchannel architectures

Creator:: Bose, Sumantra
Abstract:: Diffusion bonding cycle times can be a large cost factor in the production of metal microchannel devices. The challenge is to significantly minimize this cost by reducing the bonding cycle time through rapid and uniform heating and cooling within the bonding process. Heating rates in diffusion bonding processes are typically...

Design, fabrication and testing of a high temperature ceramic microreactor for synthesizing silicon nitride nanoparticles

Creator:: Jain, Kartavya
Abstract:: An alumina microreactor was designed and fabricated to study the synthesis of nanosized silicon nitride powder via the ammonolysis of SiO vapor at temperatures ranging from 1300°C to 1400°C. It is the first high temperature ceramic microreactor capable of operating at temperatures upto 1600°C. The microreactor was designed using 3D...

Development of a microchannel device for adsorption cooling application

Creator:: Asumpinpong, Kasidid
Abstract:: Single-layer and three-layer microchannel adsorption devices were fabricated by procedure that was newly developed. Aluminum was chosen for metal housing while the adsorption pair was silica gel and water. Each adsorption layer contained two layers of 250 μm-thick silica gel. Both silica gel layers opened to the same layer of...

Synthesis of titanium dioxide nanorods using a continuous flow microreactor

Creator:: Yen, Wei-Liang
Abstract:: The primary goal of this thesis is to synthesize titanium dioxide nanorods using a continuous flow microreactor. Titania powder, one of the most important particulate materials is used for many purposes owing to its excellent optical properties of a high refractive index leading to high hiding power and whiteness of...

Characterization of extracellular RNases of host dependent Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 109 D

Creator:: Hazen, Ronald Eugene
Abstract:: The growth of bdellovibrios at the expense of the host organism involves the catabolism of host cell macromolecular components and the subsequent anabolistic incorporation into bdellovibrio progeny. Extracellular enzymes specific for the various substrates provided by the host cell are present. In this study the extracellular RNase of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus...

Predictors of Florida retirees' housing decisions and housing adjustments

Creator:: Yamamoto, Toshiko
Abstract:: This thesis addresses the issue of comfortable and functional living environments to provide seniors with opportunities for "age in place," that is, living in one's own house after retirement. Such living environments enhance seniors' life satisfaction since the majority of seniors prefer to stay in their own houses and live...

Experimental combustion analysis and development of representative fuel specifications for selected wood and refuse derived fuel pellets from the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Haluzak, Charles Craig
Abstract:: An experimental biomass combustion facility has been built and established at Oregon State University. The furnace, or Biomass Combustion Unit ( BCU ), uses an augertype fuel feed system, grate-type fuel support with under and over fire air supply. Fourteen pellet species from five States - Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho,...

An integer programming procedure for scheduling instructors

Creator:: Yates, Thomas Leyba
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to determine if the problem of scheduling instructors to classes can be formulated as a linear program involving integer variables limited to values of zero and one. Once such a formulation is accomplished, attempts at electronic computer solution of the problem are considered. Specifically,...

The characterization and physical-chemical treatability of log pond waters

Creator:: Blanton, Guy Ivan
Abstract:: The treatability of waters from four log ponds in Oregon by physical and chemical treatment methods was investigated. Treatment processes included sand filtration, activated carbon contact and coagulation with aluminum sulfate. Preliminary studies were made at each log pond to determine the homogeneity of the pond water for sampling purposes...

A revision of the Nearctic species of Sympherobius Banks (Neuroptera: Hemerobiidae)

Creator:: Oswald, John D. (John David)
Abstract:: The Nearctic species of the genus Sympherobius Banks are revised. Seventeen species are recorded from the region. Two new species, S. constrictus and S. quadricuspis are described from California and Arizona respectively. Four new specific synonyms are proposed (junior synonym(s) first): S. brunneus Nakahara and S. stangei Nakahara = S....
