Development of a Detailed Heat Pump Simulation Controls Testbed
(2019-07)
In order to increase energy efficiency, it is desirable to reduce power consumption of HVAC systems. One way to reduce power consumption is through careful control of system components. To this end, this work covers the ...
Development of a robotic arm-gantry simulator with probabilistic inference based control
(2022-05)
Robotic arms can perform repetitive tasks with high speed, accuracy, and precision, making them highly suitable for applications that are monotonous or require a high degree of precision. Such applications include industrial ...
Design, development, and validation of a low-cost measurement system for residential ground source heat pump systems
(2019-12)
There is still relatively little data available to properly analyze the performance of Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) systems in residential applications. While commercial-grade instrumentation is available, it is often ...
Efficacy of utilizing SolidWorks Finite Element Analysis for design of composite I-beam wing spars in UAVs
(2023-05)
Labs in which unmanned composite aircraft are produced by Oklahoma State University currently lack the capability to adequately analyze wing structural designs computationally. This is especially true regarding the design ...
Fixed Path Pull-In/Pushback Trajectories for Airliner Ground Transport
(2019-05-01)
The process of ground movement of airplanes about an airport is currently accomplished with a combination of engine thrust and ground vehicles. Minimization of on-ground fuel usage of airlines and reduction of ground support ...
Tribological and cavitation erosion behavior of metallic glass reinforced aluminum matrix composites processed using spark plasma sintering
(2020-07)
Metallic glasses are emerging as a potential reinforcement for lightweight metal matrix composites. With their high strength, high elastic strain limit, and metallic nature, metallic glasses have better prospects of improving ...
Design and development of a tornado intercept unmanned aerial vehicle
(2019-12)
Very little data surrounding tornado genesis exists, and this is due in part to the lack of tools necessary to deliver weather-sensing instruments into the severe weather phenomenon. Though current UAS are able to accurately ...
Preventing pressure ulcers by pressure distribution via a liquid crystal elastomer Smart Skin
(2021-07)
Pressure Ulcers (PU) are skin injuries costing an estimated 26 billion dollars per year. A sine qua non factor is prolonged pressure. Pressure from the body weight of hospitalized patients is enough to injure their skin ...
Effect of operational parameters and inlet duct design on ECM fan performance of a push-through residential air handling unit
(2019-12)
The current trend in HVAC industry is to use increased air flowrate to increase the air conditioners' efficiency compared to when testing standards were originally developed. Manufacturers tend to achieve this increased ...
Design and Construction of a Psychrometric Testing Facility for Commercial Scale Heat Exchanger Coils
(2019-07)
Heat exchanger coils are used to provide heating and cooling in heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC&R) equipment. Testing of coils is necessary to evaluate how design changes, such as refrigerant ...
