Estimation of the Evaporation Rate of an Isolated Water Microdroplet Subjected to Infrared Radiative Heating
DownloadFall 2014
A combined numerical-experimental investigation was performed to study the influence of infrared radiation on the evaporation of a single-component droplet in the range between 10 and 50 micrometers, under different environmental conditions of relative humidity and temperature of air. A numerical...

Comprehensive Study of the Bioconversion of Coal Using Laboratory Core Flooding Experiments
DownloadSpring 2014
Core flooding experiments were performed to understand in-situ coal bioconversion process. Subbituminous coal particles packed inside a biaxial core holder was inoculated with microbial culture and was continuously flooded with mineral salts medium and nitrogen rich nutrient solution....

An Investigation of The Pressure Loss Characteristics for Highly Viscous Fluid Flow Through Narrow Slots
DownloadSpring 2016
An investigation was conducted to study the pressure loss characteristics of a highly viscous fluid flow across a sudden contraction. The objective of this work was to have a better understanding about the fluid flow phenomena across a narrow slot, which resembles the produced oil flow through...

Fall 2015
An investigation of the velocity profile in a microscale (<5mm) channel using micro PIV technique is presented. Measuring the velocity profile in the microchannel becomes increasingly important with the improved attention to microscale devices. Theory dictates that flow in the channel has a...

Low Temperature Difference Alpha-Type Stirling Engine for the Experimental Determination of Optimal Parameters to Maximize Shaft Power
DownloadSpring 2020
An investigation was performed experimentally to determine the combination of parameters that would produce the maximum shaft power for an alpha-type Stirling engine using a thermal source with a temperature below 100 °C. The primary objective of the study was to design and build an alpha-type...
