A Lean Approach to System Design and the Development of a Multi-Stage Dredging System for Commercial Applications
DownloadSpring 2023
The development of any technology requires that a balance must be struck between meeting requirements and dealing with constraints. This thesis presents a lean approach to the initial design and development of a complex, multi-physics system for industrial implementation, undertaken due to...

A Thin-Film Model to Characterize a Luminescent Solar Concentrator for Higher Efficiency Electricity Generation
DownloadSpring 2023
Jayamaha, Don Jehan Savio Reshon
A Luminescent Solar Concentrator (LSC) is a device that consists of a transparent plate with photovoltaic (PV) cells connected to one or more sides. The transparent plate functions as a waveguide and contains luminescent particles, such as organic dyes or quantum dots. The luminescent particles...

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...

Colloidal-collector interactions are of fundamental importance in separation and filtration technologies. Here, the effect of collector grains on the behavior of colloidal particles was studied in two different experimental systems, i.e., column studies with stationary collectors and batch mixing...

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....
