  • Design of a Biomass Feeding Robot for Controlled Cookstove Testing

    Creator:
    O'Boyle, Duncan
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this report is to detail the design and validation of a prototype robot that feeds biomass into a range of small household cookstoves at a programmable rate. Improved design and testing methods for the development of improved biomass cookstoves are needed to design stoves that alleviate the...

  • The Assessment of a Robotic Cookstove Feeder to Assist Human Operators in Cookstove Testing

    Creator:
    Jou, Matthew
    Abstract:
    This study aims to explore whether a robotic cookstove feeder can sufficiently reduce variability between tests of a cookstove, produces statistically similar firepower and measured emissions rates, and reduce tester interaction time during standard cookstove testing as compared to a trained human operator. A series of modified ISO/FDIS 19867-1 testing...

  • The Development of a User-Friendly Website for Management and Analysis of Cookstove Impact Data

    Creator:
    Bennett, Marley R.
    Abstract:
    The clean cookstove sector has long sought the tools and analysis methods needed to accurately quantify social, environmental, and economic impacts of projects in diverse settings. To respond to this need, Climate Solutions Consulting and Oregon State University have developed a novel integrated suite of sensors to collect fuel usage...

  • Co-design of a Jupyter Notebook for wood stove emissions analysis

    Creator:
    Schofield, Ryan
    Abstract:
    Designs for improved cookstoves aim to decrease the detrimental environmental and health impacts that are associated with traditional biomass cooking practiced by nearly 40% of the global population. Programs to provide improved cookstoves are found worldwide, and regional testing centers support development of these through emissions testing services. Aprovecho Research...

  • Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Simulation of Microfluidic Focusing in a Low-Cost Flow Cytometer

    Creator:
    Parrott, Connor
    Abstract:
    Inertial microfluidics refers to the manipulation of the location and velocity of particles suspended in microscale fluid flow without the introduction of outside forces. It has promising applications in flow cytometry and other biomedical technologies because of the potential for lowering cost and complexity relative to current particle focusing methods....

  • An Improved Chemical Kinetic Model Reduction in pyMARS for Liquid Propellants

    Creator:
    Moore, Cailin J.
    Abstract:
    The aerospace industry uses chemical kinetic models when designing propulsion systems to acquire specific details about the rate of chemical reactions, heat release, and combustion stability. These models, however, are too large and stiff to be useful as they can take weeks to run computations on. The pyMARS python package...

  • Water treatment technologies for the developing world

    Creator:
    Burleson, Grace Ellen
    Abstract:
    The intent of this report is to provide a brief description of water quality issues in Nicaragua, Uganda and Bangladesh, and the technologies available to address these issues. The water quality parameters considered include: bacterial contamination, heavy metals and arsenic, pesticides and industrious chemicals, turbidity, radiological characteristics, and taste and...
