A calorimeter capable of measuring the heat capacity of 1 mg size samples from
4.2 to greater than 100 K has been designed, constructed, and tested. The sample is
bonded to the end of a 0.002 inch diameter, 0.5 cm long chromel-constantan
thermocouple (type E) and heated optically with a...

A digital phase locked loop (DPLL) and a statistical time-to-digital converter (STDC) were previously fabricated in a 0.35µm, 3.3V SOI CMOS process. This work summarizes these designs and characterizes the measured performance. Simulations supplement the measurements where applicable.
The DPLL was found to reach a locked state under a limited...
The objective of this project is to demonstrate the feasibility fiber-reinforced turbine components through a design and manufacturing study. The motivation for using composites is to reduce weight and simplify manufacturing especially at high production volumes. In addition, natural fiber composites are implemented for applicable components to reduce environmental impact....
The Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR) is a small natural circulation pressurized light water reactor design that was developed by Oregon State University (OSU) and Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) under the Nuclear Energy Research Initiative (NERI) program to address the growing demand for energy and electricity....
Oregon State University has conducted research in collaboration with TerraPower, LLC,
to perform a top-down scaling analysis of an integrated test facility. The goal of this
facility is to simulate transient and quasi-steady phenomena at a reduced scale,
including steady-state operation, pump coastdown, natural circulation, reactor head heat
transfer, and...
