Evaluation of Turbulence Model Performance for Simulation of Low Prandtl Number Fluids in Nuclear Reactor Cooling Systems
Jock, William Daniel (2020)Nuclear energy is a promising alternative to fossil fuel energy sources. With advances to current cooling technology, nuclear energy can achieve more energy production and run more efficiently than earlier reactor designs. ... -
Investigation of Turbulence Model Performance in Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines
Mullenix, Keaton (2019)Wind turbines are critically important in the quest to move towards a non-renewable energy independent world. With the space to add 5M wind turbines, the United States is at the forefront of this transition. Horizontal ... -
Non-destructive examination of ceramic matrix composites for quantitative determination of porosity via pulse-echo thermographic inspection
Moseley, Ross (2021-12)Ceramic Matrix Composites are seeing a widespread increase in use, especially in the aerospace industry. These materials are being utilized for their excellent material properties at high temperatures. As these materials ... -
Uncertainty Analysis for In-situ Fan Curve Calibration in Variable Air Volume Systems
Rivas Prieto, Alejandro (2016-12-16)In order to obtain in-situ fan performance curves for variable air volume (VAV) air handling units (AHUs) with predicted uncertainties, airflow measurements for an extended time and a tailored calibration procedure were ...
