Dimensional assessment and process optimization of additively manufactured structured 3D porosity via primitive triply periodic minimal surface lattice structure and laser powder bed fusion technique
DownloadSpring 2023
This thesis reports the challenges that need to be addressed before any heat transfer analysis of a proposed novel cellular-walled pipe heat sink system manufactured by LPBF technique. The proper cellular structure type selection for enhanced heat transfer performance, as well as providing a...

Spring 2011
This dissertation investigates the size based separation of DNA molecules in nanoparticle arrays under asymmetric pulsed electrophoresis. Crystalline arrays of nanoparticles within microfluidic channels are fabricated using colloidal self-assembly, yielding structures with pore sizes ranging from...

Drag Reduction Performance and Turbulent Structure of Polymeric Solutions in Wall-bounded Turbulent Flows
DownloadSpring 2020
The higher drag of turbulent flows relative to laminar flows requires greater pumping power and results in a higher transportation cost. For this reason, reducing drag in turbulent pipe flows is of interest. Among various methods, the use of long-chain polymers has attracted more attention due to...

Spring 2016
The current study investigates the drag reduction (DR) using high molecular weight polymers such as commercial polyacrylamide, polysaccharides and thermo-responsive polymers. A Taylor-Couette (TC) setup was designed and fabricated to examine the abovementioned polymers for drag reduction, and to...
