Analysis of a wood-fueled trimburner system for use in a combined-cycle, wood-fired power plant

Creator:: Stephenson, Jerry D.
Abstract:: This report investigates the use of wood to fuel a trimburner incorporated in a combined-cycle, biomass-fired power plant. The term "trimburner" applies to a ductburner which is designed to boost the temperature of the air stream entering the gas turbine. The work presented here is part of a larger biomass...

Off-design analysis and control of a wood-fired combined-cycle power plant

Creator:: Brawn, Robert Charles
Abstract:: This report presents the off-design analysis of various wood-fired combined-cycle power plants using a computer model to simulate plant performance. The combined-cycle systems investigated are characterized by having a woodfueled combustor, an indirect-fired gas turbine, and a Rankine steam cycle. This work was conducted as part of a larger biomass...

Microwave extraction of peppermint oil and comparison to the currentpractice of steam extraction

Creator:: Velasco, Carmen A.
Abstract:: The increase of diesel fuels and natural gas has increased the energy cost of the mint oil extraction industry in the Willamette Valley. In this study the energy evaluation of a distillation facility in Oregon is considered. Solvent free microwave extraction of peppermint oil is introduced as a new technique...

Hull -Oakes Lumber Company's Steam-Powered Sawmill : A Case Study in Industrial Archaeology

Creator:: Wisner, George B.
Abstract:: By examining the combined written, ethnographic and physical evidence of a surviving steam-powered sawmill in the Douglas-fir region of the Pacific Northwest, this thesis seeks to supply new insights into the operation and adaptability of antiquated machinery during a period of rapid social and technological change and to develop a...

Opportunity costs : irrigation vs. hydropower

Creator:: Ross, Mark
Abstract:: In recent years we have seen increasing debate over the allocation of PNW water resources. In particular there are conflicts over using the river system for irrigation vs. electricity production. Denying the hydroelectric system water implies higher costs to electricity consumers as producers substitute more expensive nonhydro resources. This research...

Microchannel steam-methane reforming under constant and variable surface temperature distributions

Creator:: Eilers, Benn J.
Abstract:: Steam-methane reforming is a well understood industrial process used for generating hydrogen and synthesis gas. The reaction is generally carried out with residence times on the order of one second. By performing this reaction at microscales it is possible to take advantage of increased heat transfer rates and low diffusion...

CO₂ capture from wet flue gas using a water-stable and cost-effective metal-organic framework

Creator:: Loughran, Ryan P.
Abstract:: We report the use of MIL-120 as a water-stable and cost-effective metal-organic framework (MOF) for selectively capturing CO₂ from wet flue gas. Synthesized using inexpensive and environmentally benign reagents in water, MIL-120 possesses one-dimensional pores decorated with hydroxyl-bridged Al(III) ions and benzene rings with an interstitial spacing of 4.78 Å....

The role of competition, community, and priority in the discovery of the tau lepton

Creator:: Swanner, Leandra
Abstract:: This study examines the interactions between the scientific communities of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in the discovery of the tau lepton by physicist Martin Perl between 1973- 1977. Perl became interested in searching for heavy leptons through positron-electron collision experiments using the...

Comparative analysis of the Žukauskas method and data from the OSU MASLWR test facility steam generator

Creator:: Wuth, Bradyn J.
Abstract:: Some of the next generation of small modular reactors have been designed with helically coiled steam generators integrated into the reactor vessel to enhance natural circulation. According to the developers of TASS/SMR, a one-dimensional thermal hydraulic code written to model the Korean Atomic Energy Research Institute's SMART reactor, the Žukauskas...
