An evaluation of finite difference methods for calculating heat transfer in fuel pins with eccentrically placed pellets

Creator:: McNair, Gary W.
Abstract:: In fuel pin fabrication, there is no assurance that a fuel pellet will be loaded concentrically. Therefore, azimuthal variations exist in the temperature field giving rise to asymmetry in the neutron flux distribution and pin stresses. Calculations must be made to determine the two dimensional temperature profile which may then...

Development of a process for fabricating high-aspect-ratio, meso-scale geometries in stainless steel

Creator:: Walker, Benjamin A.
Abstract:: Miniature energy and chemical systems (MECS) are miniature thermal, fluid, and chemical devices in the mesoscale size range between a sugar cube and a human fist. MECS take advantage of improved rates of mass and heat transfer that have been observed at the microscale. There are many potential applications for...

The effect of geometric orientation and random wind conditions on flat plate convection rates

Creator:: Melchior, Daniel K.
Abstract:: An experimental investigation has been performed to determine the forced convection heat transfer due to three-dimensional air flow over a flat plate as a function of angle of attack and free stream velocity. The experimental method employed a transient thermal technique and placed the convecting surface next to the exhaust...

Radiation Emissions from Turbulent Diffusion Flames Burning Large Hydrocarbon Fuels

Creator:: Zeuthen, Eric D.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to measure and compare radiation emissions from flames burning large hydrocarbon fuels to assist in understanding how the molecular composition changes radiation emissions. Radiative heat transfer is significant because it is a primary mode of heat transfer for many combustion devices. This study also...

Performance and flow stability characteristics in two-phase confined impinging jets

Creator:: Sabo, Michael D.
Abstract:: Advances in electronics fabrication, coupled with the demand for increased computing power, have driven the demand for innovative cooling solutions to dissipate waste heat generated by these devices. To meet future demands, research and development has focused on robust and stable two-phase heat transfer devices. A confined impinging jet is...

A thermal hydraulics analysis of a molybdenum production element for implementation in TRIGA reactors

Creator:: Byfield, Patrick
Abstract:: The metastable isotope of technetium-99 (Tc-99m) is an important diagnostic tool used in the field of nuclear medicine due to the isotope's 6.0 hour half-life, 140.5 keV γ-decay mechanism, and multiple oxidation states [1,2]. Approximately 70% of the world’s nuclear medicine procedures involve the use of Tc-99m [3]. The conventional...

Passive pumping in pool and open channel configurations via meso-scale asymmetric surface patterning

Creator:: Strid, Logan
Abstract:: The research presented in this thesis is a continuation of collaboration between Oregon State University and Auburn University studying the feasibility of passively pumping liquid during boiling in a preferential direction using meso-scaled asymmetric surface patterns. Such a passive phase-change mechanism has great potential for thermal management in spacecraft and...
