  • Visual study of hydrodynamics in a two-dimensional gas-solid fluidized bed

    Creator:
    Freeman, Lisa Nalani
    Abstract:
    Hydrodynamic effects play important roles in fluidized bed combustion processes. Since the motion of "bubbles" is an important influence on fluidized bed heat transfer, a better understanding of their behavior is necessary for improving the design of fluidized bed boilers. Using a two-dimensional bed, silica sand particles were fluidized with...

  • Stochastic loads on horizontal axis wind turbine blades

    Creator:
    Freeman, Lisa Nalani
    Abstract:
    The objective of this work was to develop a method for determining stochastic loads on horizontal axis wind turbine blades. Stochastic loads caused by wind turbulence are a major consideration in designing for long life, cost effective wind turbines. The rotor blades are of particular concern because the blades are...
