Carbon degradation and kinetics in a vanadium (4/5) electrolyte

Creator:: Cross, Nicholas
Abstract:: The advancement of the US energy grid is a necessary task to undertake as renewable energies like wind and solar power become more and more prevalent in our energy sector. However, due to uncontrollable factors such as wind speed and cloud cover, the intermittence of these energy sources continues to...

Understanding Drivers of Glacier Length Variability Over the Last Millennium

Creator:: Huston, Alan C.
Abstract:: Changes in glacier length reflect the integrated response to local fluctuations in temperature and precipitation, but when do such changes indicate forced climate change, and when do they indicate natural variability? In this study, we simulate the past ~1000 years of glacier length variability across the globe using the 3-stage...

Understanding the Impact of Global Warming on Orographic Rain Shadows: Insights from a Pseudo-Global Warming Simulation over the Western United States

Creator:: Koszuta, Matthew
Abstract:: Some studies using regional climate models (RCMs) suggest a weakening of the climatological rain-shadow along the Cascade and Sierra Nevada mountains during the western US cool-season. To identify the possible mechanisms of rain-shadow weakening under warming, a new set of 30-year, high-resolution (6 km) pseudo-global warming (PGW) simulations were analyzed...

Measuring Neutron Absorption Cross Sections of Natural Platinum via Neutron Activation Analysis

Creator:: Petersen, Nicholas
Abstract:: This thesis presents a measurement of the resonance integral and thermal cross section – which together represent the total neutron absorption cross section – of the naturally occurring isotopes of platinum that emit gamma radiation upon neutron absorption. The measurements were made via neutron activation analysis. Platinum samples were bombarded...

Solar Thermal Energy System for Renewable Desalination

Creator:: McLaughlin, Ryan P.
Abstract:: Natural freshwater availability is decreasing as the global population increases. Advances in desalination technologies aim to produce fresh water in an economical way. More sustainable energy sources are desired for these desalination plants to limit the carbon footprint of water production since global carbon dioxide production is exacerbating freshwater scarcity....

Particle Movement in a multi-chamber fluidized bed

Creator:: Tan, Chuan Hao
Abstract:: The goal of this project is to better characterize particle movement in a multi-channel fluidized bed. Fluidized beds are commonly used for heat transfer with the rapid fluidization and homogeneous heat distribution. By characterizing this particle flow, it would allow for an improved understanding of the heat transfer mechanisms within...

An Investigation into the Production of Longer Hydrocarbons, Synthesis Gas, and Ammonia via a Nonthermal Plasma Microreactor

Creator:: Reddick, Ian T.
Abstract:: Nonthermal electrical plasmas can allow energy intensive reactions to occur without the use of high operating temperatures or pressures. This is because the collisions of electrons accelerated through an electric field with molecules is the cause of reactions as opposed to thermal collisions between molecules. In this study, the production...

Investigation of the Effect of Pulsed Direct Current on Methane Conversion and Reforming in a Point-to-Point Plasma Discharge Microreactor

Creator:: Shareghi, Adam E. L.
Abstract:: Stranded natural gas and biogas comprise a vast energy resource that is mostly wasted via flaring. This represents an opportunity to investigate novel ways to harness this resource. Nonthermal plasmas consist of excited electrons, ions and neutral atoms/molecules that have the ability to disrupt chemical bonds at ambient temperatures and...

Ultraviolet photolysis of acetaminophen in a 3D printed continuous flow reactor

Creator:: Goetze, John M.
Abstract:: Finding renewable sources of agricultural fertilizer will be necessary to ensure a stable food supply for future generations. Phosphorus is of particular concern, since mining phosphate rock is the main source and reserves are forecasted to deplete in the next 50 – 200 years. Human urine contains substantial amounts of...

Production of C4-C10 Hydrocarbons from CO₂, H₂O, CO, H₂ and CH₄ Utilizing DC Glow Discharges, Catalytic Rapid Temperature Pulsing in Micro-Scale Reactors.

Creator:: Mohamed, Omar M.
Abstract:: This thesis experimentally determines the feasibility to creating C4 to C10 hydrocarbons from CO2, CO, H2, H2O and CH4. This is done in two steps, the initial step is the formation of ethylene through DC electrical glow discharge at ambient pressure while the second step is through temperature pulse controlled...
