Direct conversion of solar radiation to mechanical power using thermostatic bimetals and linear Fresnel lenses

Creator:: Pritchard, Vernon Ross
Abstract:: Conversion of solar energy to mechanical power through the use of thermostatic bimetals and linear Fresnel lenses was found to be both theoretically and experimentally feasible. Using linear Fresnel lenses to concentrate sunlight on bimetallic coils caused a simple sun powered motor to produce rotational shaft power. However, continuous rotational...

Gibbs states and correlation

Creator:: Glaffig, Clemens H.
Abstract:: Certain important concepts from the theory of Gibbs states are first described in the simple setting of the finite volume case. With the extension to the infinite volume case, Gibbs states are defined, exhibiting two different approaches to the subject. The general structure of the set of Gibbs states is...

Upgrading of a model compound of bio-oil using carbon monoxide in high temperature water

Creator:: Phipps, Ezra Daniel
Abstract:: Meeting the energy demands of the future is one of the most important challenges facing the engineering community today. An example of this problem is transportation fuels. Most of the current transportation fuels are composed of petroleum hydrocarbons. Finding a viable alternative is important given the potential scarcity of these...

Downstream processing of microalgal biomass for biofuels

Creator:: Sander, Kyle B.
Abstract:: This thesis documents the work carried out investigating the downstream processing of algal biomass for biofuel production. A life cycle assessment was conducted on a hypothetical algal biodiesel process in which it was found drum drying and cell component separation were life cycle intensive processes. A laboratory experiment was conducted...

The effect of structural modifications on energy conservation behaviors

Creator:: Beck, Becky Ohmer
Abstract:: This study focused on the relationship between energy related behaviors prior to and following structural modifications of the residence. If energy saving structural modifications are made, will there also be a concommitant change in energy conserving behavioral practices? The objectives of this study were: 1) to create a profile of...

Energy considerations in remodeling of owner-occupied single family dwellings, Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Granite, Mary Lou
Abstract:: The investigation of energy considerations in the remodeling of single family owner-occupied dwellings was the central purpose of this study. Variables studied included relationships between demographic characteristics and the inclusion of energy conservation techniques, planning of the remodeling, and ranking of considerations in the remodeling. A sample of 225 owner-occupants...

Energy use coefficients for irrigation system materials

Creator:: Daskalakis, George H.
Abstract:: Finite, uncertain, and increasingly expensive energy resources require a better understanding of energy utilization in all sectors of the national economy including agriculture. A significant portion of energy used in agriculture is required for the manufacturing, installation, transporting, and operation of irrigation systems. Quantification of the amounts of energy used...
