Semi-Empirical Analytical Determination of the Transient Thermal Evolution within a Substrate during Low-Pressure Cold Spraying
DownloadFall 2018
Hard-faced coatings are used to protect surfaces against wear, corrosion, and thermal degradation. Cold-gas dynamic spraying is a coating fabrication process in which a supersonic gas flow is produced to propel un-molten metal or alloy powder particles to deposit, with high impact forces, upon a...

Development of a Thermostable Tuberculosis Vaccine Candidate Suitable for Pulmonary Delivery through Particle Engineering
DownloadFall 2020
Tuberculosis (TB) is a preventable and curable highly infectious respiratory disease that is responsible for the deaths of approximately 1.5 million people every year. However, vaccination programs are hindered by refrigeration requirements for vaccines during transportation and storage....

Spring 2011
Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) operation is desirable for its high thermal efficiency and low emissions of NOx and particulates. Difficulty with cold starting and maximum achievable speed/load highlight the desire for mode-switching to traditional spark ignition (SI)...

Spring 2020
In this work, particles emissions from flares with entrained droplets were characterized during the operations of oil/gas wells. It is a likely scenario that droplets of flowback fluids or produced water entrain in the flare gas and burn in an open flame. Major ions found in these fluids are...

Spring 2012
Discrete-event simulation (DES) is a method of mimicking the behavior of a real system and has the ability to model complex systems and phenomena. In this study a DES model of a real production system was developed. The model provides an accurate representation of the real system and insight into...

Colloidal Fouling of Salt Rejecting Nanofiltration Membranes: Transient Electrokinetic Model and Experimental Study
DownloadFall 2012
Membrane separation processes are widely used for separation of colloids, macromolecules, organic and ions. Among different processes, nanofiltration (NF) is being increasingly used for removing multiple molecular weight and size solutes using a single membrane. Fouling is a commonly encountered...

Fall 2009
This thesis focuses on the use of computer simulation for modeling risk of a multi-state repairable component. In production processes, maintenance decisions are often made based on uncertain assessment of risk, not only in the probability when a process component goes into a state of failure...

Fall 2012
Researchers in vocal acoustics have used computer simulations of single and multi-mass models of the human vocal folds to study human phonation for over 40 years. They have successfully given insight into different voice qualities and registers as well as the irregular phonation associated with...
