Rational Fuel Design for Low Temperature Internal Combustion Engines

Creator:: Daly, Shane R.
Abstract:: This work introduces a new methodology to design transportation fuels offering improved efficiency and reduced emissions, aimed to complement both traditional and emerging engine technologies. Many of these emerging technologies are centered around exploiting low temperature combustion (LTC) strategies that offer improved efficiency and reduced emissions. However, a standardized fuel...

Chemometrics-based Approach for Predicting Low Temperature Combustion Engine Fuel Performance

Creator:: Daly, Shane
Abstract:: Low temperature combustion (LTC) engines offer improved efficiency and reduced emissions over traditional gasoline spark-ignited and diesel compression-ignition engines. The ability to produce fuels optimized for LTC engines could help increase efficiency and therefore improve fuel economy, insomuch that Federal fuel economy standards could be met. Currently, a fuel performance...

Boredom, Buttons, and Booze: The Lifeways of an Enlisted Soldier Stationed at Fort Hoskins (35BE15), Oregon

Creator:: James, Shane P.
Abstract:: In 1976-77 and 2010, Oregon State University (OSU) excavated portions of the enlisted men’s barracks and privy at Fort Hoskins, a Civil War-era fort. In operation from 1856 to 1865, this fort served as part of a security network to protect and monitor the recently created Coast Indian Reservation. The...

Fourier-Transform Infrared Absorption Spectroscopy in Binary Hydrocarbon-Alcohol Single Droplet Evaporation

Creator:: Daly, Shane R., Olson, Nicholas, and Hagen, Christopher L.
Abstract:: Broadband absorption spectroscopy, by way of FTIR, was used to investigate the vapor cloud of a single millimeter sized liquid droplet suspended by a syringe as it evaporates at standard conditions. Single beam data were collected every 8 seconds resulting in a time-resolved record. Species concentrations were tracked using their...

A Novel Fuel Performance Index for Low-Temperature Combustion Engines Based on Operating Envelopes in Light-Duty Driving Cycle Simulations

Creator:: Niemeyer, Kyle E., Daly, Shane R., Cannella, William J., and Hagen, Christopher L.
Abstract:: Low-temperature combustion (LTC) engine concepts such as homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) offer the potential of improved efficiency and reduced emissions of NOₓ and particulates. However, engines can only successfully operate in HCCI mode for limited operating ranges that vary depending on the fuel composition. Unfortunately, traditional ratings such as...

Investigation of the LTC fuel performance index for oxygenated reference fuel blends

Creator:: Niemeyer, Kyle E., Daly, Shane R., Cannella, William J., and Hagen, Christopher L.
Abstract:: A new metric for ranking the suitability of fuels in LTC engines was recently introduced, based on the fraction of potential fuel savings achieved in the FTP-75 light-duty vehicle driving cycle. In the current study, this LTC fuel performance index was calculated computationally and analyzed for a number of fuel...

Predicting fuel research octane number using Fourier-transform infrared absorption spectra of neat hydrocarbons

Creator:: Daly, Shane R., Niemeyer, Kyle E., Cannella, William J., and Hagen, Christopher L.
Abstract:: Liquid transportation fuels require costly and time-consuming tests to characterize metrics, such as Research Octane Number (RON) for gasoline. If fuel sale restrictions requiring use of standard Cooperative Fuel Research (CFR) testing procedures do not apply, these tests may be avoided by using multivariate statistical models to predict RON and...

Understanding the Similarities and Differences Between Academia and the Engineering Workplace through Barriers to Adoption, Epistemic Beliefs, and Problem-Solving Behavior

Creator:: Gestson, Sean Lyle
Abstract:: Engineering education research has led to a greater understanding of the gap in preparedness of students for the engineering industry. Multiple studies comparing the workplace and academic contexts and the participants in those contexts (i.e., students, faculty, and engineering practitioners) have emphasized similarities and differences between the two contexts by...

An experimental study of the acoustical characteristics of dampers in air conditioning systems

Creator:: Yun, Kyung Woo
Abstract:: The noise problem in air conditioning systems is receiving ever increasing attention because of the importance of noise on a comfortable human environment. Some work has been done on the solutions to the noise problem by an investigation of a few system elements. The acourstical characteristics of dampers become more...

Theoretical-experimental neutron spectrum comparisons by an orthonormal series expansion method

Creator:: Skeen, David Roy
Abstract:: This thesis presents and discusses a method for comparing the neutron flux of some calculational model with the actual flux of a critical system. Both the theoretical and experimental aspects of this method are investigated in this report. Experiments were performed to find neutron energy dependent data. These involved the...
