  • A study of opposing mixed convection in the GRTS and in downward pipe flows using the FLUENT CFD code

    Creator:
    Jackson, R. Brian
    Abstract:
    Downward flow opposing mixed convection conditions have been studied using the FLUENT CFD code. This work was comprised of two primary objectives. The first was to study core channel flow reversal susceptibility in the Gas Reactor Test Section (GRTS) at low flow conditions. The second objective was the development of...

  • Hydrology and delineation in four wetlands in the Oregon Cascades

    Creator:
    MacLeod, Norman A.
    Abstract:
    Four wetland sites were identified and delineated in Silver Falls State Park, Oregon using procedures outlined in the 1989 Federal Manual for the Identification and Delineation of Jurisdictional Wetlands and subsequently monitored for a ten month period. A network of 225 shallow (32") wells was installed throughout the sites to...

  • Applying hierarchical and adaptive control to coordinating simple robots

    Creator:
    Knudson, Matthew D.
    Abstract:
    Coordinating multiple robots to achieve a complex task requires solving two distinct control problems: the high-level control problem of ensuring that each robot aims to perform a useful task (e.g., coordination) and the low-level control problem of ensuring that each robot actually performs the correct actions to achieve its task...

  • Thermal hydraulic analysis of the Oregon State TRIGA Reactor using RELAP5-3D

    Creator:
    Marcum, Wade R.
    Abstract:
    Oregon State University has recently conducted a complete core conversion analysis as part of the Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors Pprogram. The goals of the thermal hydraulic analyses were to calculate natural circulation flow rates, coolant temperatures and fuel temperatures as a function of core power for both...

  • Mixed reactant single chamber fuel cell, using products generated from the electrolysis of an aqueous electrolyte

    Creator:
    Jost, William C.
    Abstract:
    A Mixed Reactant Single Chamber (MRSC) Fuel Cell is a relatively recent concept in the field of fuel cell engineering originally developed in the late 1950’s. Typical fuel cells have separated reactants (a separated fuel and oxidizer) that react on their usually non-selective electro-catalytic materials. A mixed reactant fuel cell...

  • Comparitive snow accumulation and melt during rainfall in forest and clearcut plots in western Oregon

    Creator:
    Berris, Steven Neil
    Abstract:
    A study was conducted to compare snow accumulation and melt during rainfall in adjacent forest and clearcut plots in the transient snow zone of the western Cascade Range in Oregon. Snow accumulation differences were determined by comparing the water equivalents of forest and clearcut snowpacks. During rain-on-snow periods, energy balances...

  • Countersunk culvert hydraulics for upstream juvenile fish passage

    Creator:
    House, Matthew R.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-one countersunk culverts in Oregon were inventoried to establish baseline information for the stream crossings so that subsequent resurveys can assess the long-term stability and functionality of the culvert design. A subset of the inventoried culverts was selected for detailed hydraulic measurements. The detailed velocity measurements were used to help...

  • Investigating arc behavior in a DC vacuum arc remelting furnace using magnetic flux density measurements

    Creator:
    Woodside, Rigel
    Abstract:
    The behavior of a metal vapor plasma arc in a vacuum arc remelting (VAR) furnace is believed to contribute to the formation of defects in reactive metal and super-alloy ingots. Industry standard instrumentation, which includes electric current and voltage measurements, can asses the stability of an arc but cannot predict...

  • Experimental investigation of condensation phenomena inside a U-tube steam generator

    Creator:
    Collins, Brian A.
    Abstract:
    Reflux condensation tests examining steam condensation in a PWR steam generator (SG) were conducted at the Oregon State University (OSU) Advanced Plant Experiment (APEX) Test Facility from 2005 through 2007. The experimental data collected will provide a basis to assess TRACE steam generator modeling techniques and assist in development of...
