Relationship of Climate Change to Seawater Intrusion in Coastal Aquifers
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-07-01)
Scientific consensus has established that climate change over the next century will cause a significant rise in global mean sea level. a confluence of factors places this rise to be between 0.25 meters and 0.95 Meters, ...
Process Simulation, Modeling & Design for Soybean Oil Extraction Using Liquid Propane
(Oklahoma State University, 2008-12-01)
This study investigates the use of liquid propane for soybean oil extraction and the use of commercial software for process modeling and simulation. Soybean oil extraction using liquid propane is feasible and requires lower ...
Robust Shortest Paths under Uncertainty Using Conditional Value-at-Risk
(Oklahoma State University, 2011-12-01)
Finding a shortest path in a network is a classical problem in discrete optimization. The systems underlying the network models are subjects to a variety of sources of uncertainty. The purpose of this thesis is to model ...
Sparse data-driven modeling framework for non-linear fluid flows
(2017-12)
Although fluid flows have been successfully modeled using the Navier-stokes equations, there exists only a limited class of flows for which exact analytical or numerical solutions are feasible at this time. For many practical ...
Evaluating Environmental Influences on Grassland Soil Organic Carbon Temporal and Spatial Distribution
(2019-07)
The soil is the largest terrestrial carbon sink, and soil organic carbon (SOC) accounts for twice as much carbon as is stored in the atmosphere. A large portion of recent atmospheric carbon increases is due to the loss of ...
From Tobacco Road to Tinsel Town: Assessing the Context of Smoking in Movies in Terms of Social Modeling Implications
(Oklahoma State University, 2011-07-01)
This study examines the social modeling implications of smoking portrayals in movies as they relate to influencing whether adolescents begin smoking or not. Drawing on the work of Bandura and others, the study identifies ...
PDC drill bit modeling in hard rock
(2020-05)
The objective of thesis is to develop a detailed PDC drill bit ROP model that can be implemented in a real time drilling optimization system for hard rock application. Within the drilling industry, often times operational ...
Design of an Axial Flow Bioreactor for Tissue Regeneration
(Oklahoma State University, 2012-05-01)
Modeling of bioreactors using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools have been adapted for several bioreactor configurations such as flow-through, parallel-flow, and rotary. In this study, modeling was mainly performed ...
Approach to Modeling and Optimization of Integrated Renewable Energy System (Ires)
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-12-01)
The purpose of this study was to cost optimize electrical part of IRES (Integrated Renewable Energy Systems) using HOMER and maximize the utilization of resources using MATLAB programming. IRES is an effective and a viable ...
Adaptation of a dynamic crop model for estimating tall fescue forage availability in the southern Great Plains
(2022-05)
Due to interannual and cross-location variability of forage production, ranchers oftenencounter difficulties anticipating which management strategies should be used for optimum pastureland management. While models for ...
