Suspensions of particles in fluids are everywhere in our life, such as paints, pharmacies, food, etc. Suspensions can exhibit properties that common fluids do not possess. For example, the paint needs to flow well when brushing so that it can be smeared on the wall, which is aided by the...
A facility developed using the OSU TRIGA pulsing capability and high speed motion photography has been used successfully for more than a decade to produce dynamic neutron radiographs of solid propellant combustion, two phase flow, and liquid streamflow. The existing imaging components have undergone little modification since the experiment's inception...
An experimental study is described in which time-average local heat
transfer coefficients were obtained for arrays of horizontal tubes immersed
in a hot fluidized bed. Spatial-averaged heat transfer coefficients, computed
from local values, are also reported. Refractory particles with surface
mean diameters of 2.14 mm and 3.23 mm were fluidized...
This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...
A model is developed that allows the prediction of the stress-strain
distribution in a mixed carbide sphere pac fuel pin during
irradiation. The model is coupled with a previously developed model
for the thermal behavior of the pin. The one-dimensional (radial at
various axial locations) solution is for quasi-steady pin...
Herein, a program of research is detailed related to transport through the Si metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) quantum dots fabricated in a process flow compatible with modern ULSI (ultra large scale integrated circuit). Silicon quantum dots were fabricated by placing split gates within a MOSFET structure. Quantum dots of several...
Over time, Open Source Software (OSS) has become indispensable in the creation and upkeep of software products, serving as the fundamental building block for widely used solutions in our daily lives, including applications that enable communication, entertainment, and productivity. A sustainable OSS ecosystem is one that attracts and retains a...
Global surface water quality has been degrading with predictions of negative trends in meeting the Sustainable Development Goal ambient water quality targets (Mead, 2019; WWAP & UN Water, 2019). These water quality impacts can cross borders and impact populations in world’s 204 transboundary lake and reservoir basins (ILEC & UNEP,...
