Investigation of the dimensional stability of an ultra-thin film gas/liquid contactor

Creator:: Peterson, Jerrod P.
Abstract:: The use of a permeable membrane to mechanically constrain a film of water with an area of 12 cm² and a thickness of 150 μm in a gas/liquid contactor was investigated. The membrane separated the vapor and liquid phases, and a stiffener plate made from a gas-permeable material was used...

Integrated dual cycle energy recovery using thermoelectric conversion and an organic Rankine bottoming cycle

Creator:: Miller, Erik W.
Abstract:: Hot engine exhaust and industrial process exhaust represents a resource that is often rejected to the environment without further utilization. This resource is prevalent in the transportation and industrial process sectors, but stationary engine-generator systems also typically do not utilize this resource. Engine exhaust is considered high grade heat and...

Micro adiabatic combustion engine : concept development, simulation and combustion experiments

Creator:: Chewning, Scott R.
Abstract:: The current proliferation of portable electronic devices for personal communication, business and entertainment has created a demand for high energy density power supplies. A hydrocarbon fuel with a conversion efficiency of over 15% can provide greater energy density than current battery technology for these applications. Current micro-scale heat engines do...

Mixed reactant single chamber fuel cell, using products generated from the electrolysis of an aqueous electrolyte

Creator:: Jost, William C.
Abstract:: A Mixed Reactant Single Chamber (MRSC) Fuel Cell is a relatively recent concept in the field of fuel cell engineering originally developed in the late 1950’s. Typical fuel cells have separated reactants (a separated fuel and oxidizer) that react on their usually non-selective electro-catalytic materials. A mixed reactant fuel cell...

Development of a small scale scroll expander

Creator:: Harada, Kevin J.
Abstract:: The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is a versatile approach in the utilization of waste heat in the production of electricity, clean drinking water, and cooling. The efficiency of these cycles must be maximized to make them economical. Parameters for the optimization of ORCs such as evaporator and condenser temperature have...

Design, modeling, and performance of miniature reciprocating thermocompressor

Creator:: Edwards, Michael J.
Abstract:: Research in the miniaturization of thermomechanical systems in recent years has proven to be both rewarding and challenging. Micro-scale devices have tremendous technological potential but come with a new set of design problems. One such problem is energy storage. Heat actuated systems, driven primarily by thermal energy, take advantage of...

Design, modeling and performance of miniature reciprocating expander for a heat actuated heat pump

Creator:: Herron, Thomas G.
Abstract:: A miniature reciprocating expander is being developed as part of a larger program to develop a heat actuated heat pump for portable applications. By utilizing the higher energy density of liquid hydrocarbon fuels relative to batteries, a heat actuated heat pump would be able to provide cooling for much longer...

An experimental study of flow boiling heat transfer enhancement in minichannels with porous mesh heating wall

Creator:: Wang, Hailei
Abstract:: A unique channel surface enhancement technique via diffusion-bonding a layer of conductive fine wire mesh onto the heating wall was developed and used to experimentally study flow boiling enhancement in parallel microchannels. Each channel was 1000 μm wide and 510 μm high. A dielectric working fluid, HFE 7000, was used...

The Influence of Scale in a Structured Decision Making Framework for Chinook Salmon Management

Creator:: McDonnell, Kevin N.
Abstract:: The goal of my dissertation was to explore how scale influences stream restoration prioritization strategies for an anadromous species and identify influential uncertainties that exist at different scales. My objectives were to (1) produce a comprehensive review of the Chinook salmon management challenges in California’s Central Valley and identify the...

Evaluating the Effects of a Parasitic Copepod (Salmincola californiensis) on the Performance of Juvenile Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:: Neal, William T.
Abstract:: Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) rearing in lakes and reservoirs have been known to become heavily infected with an ectoparasitic copepod (Salmincola californiensis). Little is known about the factors that affect the parasite infection prevalence and intensity. However, previous research suggests that the parasite may negatively affect the fitness and survival...
