  • Experimental Investigation of Near-Critical Carbon Dioxide in Microchannels for High Flux Cooling Applications

    Creator:
    Travers, Kristen
    Abstract:
    With the continued decrease in size and subsequent increase in power of computer processors, thermal management in electronics is becoming more important than ever before. The chip heat densities are reaching new peaks (> 100 W cm-2) that current cooling methods are not able to keep up with. However, some...

  • Assessing the Maturity of Industrial Engineering as an Engineering Discipline

    Creator:
    Murphy, Thomas W.
    Abstract:
    Industrial Engineering is a broad discipline, with a wide range of definitions for the field and the knowledge areas that make up its parts. A conceptual gap exists between the definition of the field of Industrial Engineering and the definitions of each of these parts. To facilitate advancement of the...

  • Thermographic Testing Applied to Fiber Reinforced Polymers

    Creator:
    Jolibois, Michael
    Abstract:
    Non-destructive testing is a methodology to inspect production and operational parts for potential flaws, defects, or damages. The present work is based on pulsed wave thermography, a thermal imaging method based on heat conduction to identify surface and subsurface defects potentially present in a component. Pulsed wave thermography applies a...

  • Radial Velocity Profiles and Magnetic Field Probes for Hypervelocity Plasma Deflagration Jets

    Creator:
    Rodriguez, Jesse A.
    Abstract:
    The fundamental physics of turbulence in plasma is not well understood. Recent studies of the plasma deflagration accelerator in the High Temperature Gasdynamics Lab at Stanford University have demonstrated the presence of small scale instabilities that limit the lifetime of the jet/Z pinch and are not reproduced by coaxial plasma...

  • Microscale thermal management using membrane vapor extraction

    Creator:
    Apreotesi, Mario A.
    Abstract:
    With the miniaturization of microelectronics and increase of processor speeds in the last few decades, thermal management is drastically affecting overall packaging and system capabilities. Due to the special needs introduced, research focusing on microscale cooling has increased. This study combines the positive characteristics of single- and two-phase flows in...

  • Solar Thermal Energy System for Renewable Desalination

    Creator:
    McLaughlin, Ryan P.
    Abstract:
    Natural freshwater availability is decreasing as the global population increases. Advances in desalination technologies aim to produce fresh water in an economical way. More sustainable energy sources are desired for these desalination plants to limit the carbon footprint of water production since global carbon dioxide production is exacerbating freshwater scarcity....

  • Systemic barriers encountered by Latinas in engineering

    Creator:
    Coto, Paula
    Abstract:
    Latinas in engineering face discrimination on the intersectionality of their two identities, Latinx and woman. The barriers that happen to them as an indirect effect of previous or existing institutional systems of oppression are called systemic barriers. Coming from the lens of four subjects, in a ranking of the barriers...

  • Misgendering, Prejudice, & Attitudes Towards Transgender & Gender Diverse Individuals: The Role of Accents

    Creator:
    Lewis-Lopez, Azriella N.
    Abstract:
    One way to support the transgender and gender diverse (TGD) community is by calling out microaggressions. Bystander readiness to call out microaggressions may be influenced by a bystander’s perception of harm caused by the microaggression and stereotypes surrounding the identity of the microaggressor. In this study, I focused on the...

  • Effects of thermal stressing on the turbulent flame speed of jet fuel

    Creator:
    Alkhalifa, Ammar M.
    Abstract:
    Gas turbine engines for propulsion applications can use fuel as a coolant, exposing the fuel to high temperatures well within the ranges associated with thermal decomposition. Species produced as a result of these processes have been shown to correlate with changes in the combustion performance of the fuels. In this...

  • Examining Thermal Response of Steel Structural Elements with Fire Protection through Heat Transfer Analysis

    Creator:
    Saccente, Alexandra J.
    Abstract:
    Fires that affect buildings can have disastrous impacts, including significant losses to people, property, and the environment. Understanding how fires can impact structures provides the foundation to prevent structural collapse in fire. It is critical that the effect of fire is studied to protect the safety and welfare of civilians....
