Radiation Emissions from Turbulent Diffusion Flames Burning Large Hydrocarbon Fuels

Creator:: Zeuthen, Eric D.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to measure and compare radiation emissions from flames burning large hydrocarbon fuels to assist in understanding how the molecular composition changes radiation emissions. Radiative heat transfer is significant because it is a primary mode of heat transfer for many combustion devices. This study also...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Part-Load Optimization of an Organic Rankine Cycle

Creator:: Ramsey, Owen
Abstract:: Waste-heat-recovery Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems use excess heat from industrial processes to produce electrical power. In many cases, the temperatures and mass flow rates of these excess-heat streams vary significantly over time, causing the ORC to often operate far from its design point. In this study, a control strategy...

Experimentation of Synchronous and Variable Speed Small Scale Hydropower Systems

Creator:: Jackson, Elliott C.
Abstract:: Hydropower is the one of the oldest renewable energy technologies and is wrongly thought of today as having little room to grow. The opportunity for new hydropower capacity is immense through both technology advancement and run-of-river new stream reach projects. Despite the age of hydropower, a divide in opinion is...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Inter-code Comparison of Time Independent Pulsed Sphere Benchmark Results

Creator:: Northrop, Jordan
Abstract:: The pulsed sphere benchmark problems are a set of physical experiments that have been used to verify Monte Carlo codes and evaluate nuclear data. All Monte Carlo codes rely on benchmark experiments that test the features of the code to verify that the simulations are producing realistic results. In the...

Defining Project‐Specific Custom CLT Grade Utilizing Low‐Value Ponderosa Pine Lumber from Logs Harvested in SW Oregon and Northern California Forest Restoration Programs

Creator:: Jahedi, Sina
Abstract:: Restoration programs effectively prevent or mitigate wildfires and pest outbreaks in the forest lands. The most common approach is to selectively harvest smaller and dead trees in order to preserve larger and superior trees. Ponderosa pine, Pinus ponderosa, (PP) lumber is one of the common species harvested from restoration programs...

Leading Edge Separation Analysis of Oscillating Airfoil Energy Harvesters

Creator:: Ngo, Vickie
Abstract:: Oscillating foil energy harvesters are analyzed at optimal reduced frequencies (𝑘=𝑓𝑐/𝑈) to determine how the leading edge radius of curvature affects leading edge separation. The understanding of leading edge separation and its behaviors is critical to predicting the transient lift profile of an airfoil. The separation is therefore also critical...

The Influence of Fuel Characteristics on Smoldering Behavior through Porous Fuels

Creator:: Ross, Andrew H.
Abstract:: Smoldering can play a dangerous role in the ignition and spread of wildfires. Naturally occurring fuels consist of multiple layers of organic materials with varying particle sizes due to differences in decomposition stages with fuel depth, yet the influence of particle size on burning behavior is poorly understood. Previous research...

Exploitation and Mitigation of CPU Vulnerabilities

Creator:: Mestas, Phillip O., III
Abstract:: AMD SEV allows for the creation of fully encrypted virtual machines. This allows cloud computing tenants’ data to be secret to the cloud computing provider. However, it has been shown that the encryption scheme used by AMD can easily be broken. The attacker can create a copy of the virtual...

Turbulent Combustion Analysis of Large Hydrocarbon Fuels in a Reduced Pressure Environment

Creator:: Schorn, Nathan E.
Abstract:: The aviation industry is pushing for better fuels and gas turbine engines for several reasons: cost, emissions, and to a lesser extent high-altitude relights. One aspect that research has been focused on to help reduce costs, emissions and better understand high-altitude relights is studying the combustion behavior of the fuel...

Multi-Scale Study of Ember Production and Transport under Multiple Environmental and Fuel Conditions

Creator:: Hudson, Tyler R.
Abstract:: Spot fires caused by lofted embers (i.e., firebrands) can be a significant factor in the spread of wildland fires. Embers can be especially dangerous near the wildland-urban interface (WUI) because of the potential for the fire to be spread near or on structures. Many studies have investigated the transport of...
