Fabrication of WC-based Metal Matrix Composite Coatings via Low-pressure Cold Spraying for Enhanced Surface Properties
DownloadFall 2013
A low-cost, low-pressure cold spray unit was used to fabricate tungsten carbide (WC)-based metal matrix composite (MMC) coatings. A variety of coatings were fabricated and characterized. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), coupled with image analysis, Vickers micro-hardness, and X-ray diffraction...

Spring 2011
The objective of this thesis was to develop a novel understanding of the mechanics of two phase gas-liquid flows and sprays injected through industrial effervescent nozzles. This was done using detailed experimental investigations and scaling for two-phase flows and sprays. This study helps to...

System Level Monitoring for Time-Varying Conditions with Application to Ground Engaging Equipment
DownloadFall 2015
Condition monitoring is an effective tool for protecting equipment against unplanned and costly downtime. Conventionally, condition monitoring is only focused on the state of equipment's health and tracks the internal changes. However, more recent studies pointed out that an effective monitoring...

To understand the water cycle on Mars, details of mass and energy transfer between the surface and the atmosphere are of importance. A complete model, involving transient variations of the water in gaseous and solid phases in the atmosphere and the regolith, is developed and solved numerically...

Spring 2016
Heterogeneous materials are omnipresent in several critical engineering applications such as polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs), coal bio-conversion process, geological storage of CO2 and membrane water filtration. These applications rely on physical processes such as transport (e.g., mass,...

Spring 2011
An analytical and experimental study of boundary gravity currents propagating through a two-layer stratified ambient of finite vertical extent is presented. The theoretical discussion considers slumping, supercritical gravity currents, i.e. those that generate an interfacial disturbance whose...
