Performance evaluation of siding materials subjected to radiant heat loads: Structural protection in the Wildland Urban Interface
DownloadFall 2019
A methodology was developed to evaluate the performance of different commercially available siding materials under radiant heat loads of 57 kW/m2 (high heat load condition, HHC) and 20 kW/m2 (low heat load condition, LHC). The siding materials that were selected for this study were engineered...

Performance evaluation, wake study, and flow visualization of air and large diameter water droplets around the blade of a micro horizontal axis wind turbine
DownloadSpring 2011
This thesis presents a performance evaluation of a micro horizontal axis wind turbine, investigates the use of particle image velocimetry (PIV) to capture the flow field around a rotating blade and to track water droplets in the flow. The testing was done in a low speed wind tunnel in a highly...
