Investigation of In-tube Non-equilibrium Condensation of Low Global Warming Potential Refrigerants

Creator:: Jacob, Tabeel A.
Abstract:: This work investigates the in-tube condensation of low global warming potential (GWP) zeotropic refrigerant mixtures R448A, R450A, R452A, R454B and R454C. These refrigerants have been proposed for a wide range of commercial heating, ventilation, air-conditioning applications, but their heat and momentum transport phenomenon were not well understood. Thus, in this...

The experimental characterization of membrane behavior in two-phase gas extraction

Creator:: Cappello, Nicholas C.
Abstract:: Understanding the behavior of hydrophobic membranes is important for applications where separating a gas from a liquid-gas mixture is beneficial. For example, in-situ vapor extraction can be used in microscale heat sinks to improve heat transfer and flow stability. In this study, gas is experimentally evaluated flowing through flexible polytetrafluoroethylene...

Assessing Exposures and Simplifying Complex Mixtures of SVOCs for Hazard Characterization using Alternative Model Systems

Creator:: Rivera, Brianna N.
Abstract:: Throughout their lifetime individuals are exposed to complex mixtures of chemicals. The study of chemical mixtures is an internationally recognized research priority, but seemingly complex challenge. To reduce the intricacy of studying mixtures, researchers have identified different prioritization methods based on exposure or the toxicity of chemicals. However, understanding the...

Optimizing HIV Treatment in Resource-Limited Settings

Creator:: Akudibillah, Gordon Amed
Abstract:: Apart from the traditional role of preventing progression from HIV to AIDS, antiretroviral drug therapy (ART) has an additional benefit of substantially reducing infectiousness, making them potentially an important strategy in the fight against HIV. Recent advances in drug therapy have also seen the use of antiretroviral drugs as a...

Evaluation of peptide phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers as a novel antibiotic therapy

Creator:: Kaller, Margo
Abstract:: Peptide-phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PPMOs) are synthetic DNA mimics that bind and silence gene targets. Through designing PPMOs that silence essential or resistance genes in pathogens, these antisense oligomers could be utilized as novel antimicrobials. Towards this end, my thesis employed minimum inhibitory concentration assays (MICs) to identify PPMOs capable of...

A remotely controlled power quality test platform for characterizing the ride-through capabilities of adjustable speed drives

Creator:: Matheson, Evelyn
Abstract:: With the increased attention on high efficiency and controllability of industrial processes, as well as reduced weight, volume and cost of consumer products, the applications of nonlinear power electronic converters such as adjustable speed drives (ASDs) are showing a rapid rise. Power Quality (PQ) is becoming an increasing concern with...

Predicting Thermal Conductivity in Nuclear Fuels using Rattlesnake-Based Deterministic Phonon Transport Simulations

Creator:: Harter, Jackson R.
Abstract:: The Boltzmann transport equation derived in the Self-Adjoint Angular Flux (SAAF) formulation is applied to simulate phonon transport. The neutron transport code Rattlesnake is leveraged in this fashion, slightly modi ed to accept input from variables consistent with phonon transport simulations. Several benchmark problems are modeled to assess the potential...

Advanced Deterministic Phonon Transport Techniques for Predicting Spectral Thermal Conductivity in Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Media

Creator:: Harter, Jackson R.
Abstract:: We present a deterministic spectral method to predict equilibrium temperature distributions, heat flux, and thermal conductivity in homogeneous and heterogeneous media. We solve the Boltzmann transport equation in a second order spatial, self-adjoint angular flux formulation. We implemented this method into the radiation transport code Rattlesnake, built using the MOOSE...

Evaluating TEG Energy Harvesting Capabilities Across Naturally Occurring Temperature Gradients

Creator:: Estenson, Alyssa H.
Abstract:: Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) have gained much popularity in the search for alternatives to clean sources to harvest energy. Given their capability to harness an electric potential given a temperature differential across their opposing faces, and the foreseeable prevalence of naturally and/or commonly occurring temperature gradients in multiple applications, TEGs are...
