Computational modeling of a diffusion bonded microchannel under high pressure and temperature

Creator:: Pratte, William
Abstract:: Diffusion bonded microchannels provide significant benefits by reducing space requirements while improving thermal efficiency when used in heat exchangers. In particular, these microchannels have potential to improve efficiencies for combining concentrated solar power with supercritical CO2 Brayton cycles, where structures operate at high temperatures (760 ˚C) and high pressures (25...

An Approach to Modeling Fuel Plate Deformations in Fluid-Structure Interactions

Creator:: Howard, Trevor
Abstract:: As computational power increases, so does the desire to use fluid-structure interaction (FSI) software to design complex systems and components such as fuel plates. Presently, an effort is underway to support the design and qualification of a new nuclear fuel material which is intended for applications in select, plate-type, research...

Developing a Standard to Assess Water Repellency and Dimensional Stability of Preservative Treated Railroad Ties or Other Large Timbers

Creator:: Trebelhorn, Daniel B.
Abstract:: Untreated wood is inherently hygroscopic and moisture content variations can have substantial effects on dimensional stability leading to the development of deep surface checks that further enhance moisture uptake and ultimately encourage deterioration. The horizontal exposure of wood crossties makes water repellency and dimensional stability particularly important in railroad applications....

Evaluation of desktop learning modules in civil engineering classrooms to promote inductive and interactive learning

Creator:: Buker, Kamilah E.
Abstract:: Students in undergraduate engineering programs typically do not synthesize content learned from disparate course work until the end of their final terms of college. As an example, in undergraduate civil engineering programs, transportation engineering concepts (e.g., geometric alignment, asphalt design procedures) and geotechnical engineering concepts (e.g., shear strength of soils,...

GPU-Based Fluid-Structure Interaction using Immersed Boundary Methods

Creator:: Minar, Christopher
Abstract:: Engineering applications often require fast, accurate solutions of fluid flow around freely moving bodies. The massive parallelism enabled by graphics processing unit (GPU) architecture enables high performance, offering a promising alternative to traditional solver acceleration via multicore central processing units (CPU). However, fully harnessing GPU parallelism requires specialized algorithms and...

Computational Investigation on the Effects of Arc Location in Vacuum Arc Remelting

Creator:: Soler, Miguel
Abstract:: Vacuum arc remelting (VAR) is a secondary melting process for exotic alloys. The main purpose of this process is to increase the input ingot’s physical and chemical homogeneity. This is accomplished through the application of a high current that melts the material through the emergence of electrical arcs that induce...

Stability and Liftoff of Non-premixed Large Hydrocarbon Flames in MILD Conditions

Creator:: Walters, Eric M.
Abstract:: The Moderate or Intense Low-oxygen Dilution (MILD) combustion regime has received interest from the industrial furnace and gas turbine engine industries due to attractive properties of reduced NO[subscript x] emissions and high thermal efficiency. MILD combustion is characterized by low oxygen concentrations (i.e. 3%-9% by volume) and high reactant temperatures....

The Hijab and Muslim Women in a Western Society : Motivation, Modifications, and Well-being

Creator:: Maqsood, Elham Nour Ahmad
Abstract:: The primary purpose of the present study is to explore the effect of wearing the hijab in a Western society on Muslim women’s well-being, their motivation to wear it, and the different modifications that they have made on their hijabs. To investigate the relationship between the hijab and Muslim women’s...

The Impact of Parasitic Copepod Salmincola Californiensis on Swimming Ability & Oxidative Burst Activity in Response to Stress in Juvenile Chinook Salmon

Creator:: Herron-Seeley, Crystal L.
Abstract:: Juvenile Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) have a finite amount of energy that they can use to move from their riverine habitat to their oceanic habitat. Fish in the Willamette River Basin are prevented from moving to the ocean easily by dams which create reservoirs, where they reside for up to...

A study of residual Cesium 137 contamination in southwestern Utah soil following the nuclear weapons tests at the Nevada Test Site in the 1950's and 1960's

Creator:: Bentley, R. Blair
Abstract:: The Nevada Test Site (NTS) was the location for at least 100 above ground Nuclear Weapons tests during the 1950's and early 1960's. Radioactive fallout from these tests spread to many areas north and west of the NTS. According to estimates from the NCI and DOE, Washington County, Utah was...
