New tool design for measuring tool displacement in milling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Monitoring tool displacement during a milling process allows the operator to identify when there is relative movement between the cutting tool and the workpiece. When the relative movement between the cutting tool and the ...
Analysis of dual-phase ejector performance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] An analytical model is proposed to extend the single-phase model for predicting ejector performance, particularly pressure recovery and efficiency, ...
Hierarchical carbon nanotube forests and applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Carbon nanotube (CNTs) are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure. Very different from other materials, CNTs show a great value for ...
Development and experimental benchmarking of numeric fluid structure interaction models for research reactor fuel analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
As part of the Global Threat Reduction Initiative (GTRI) reactor conversion program, five U.S. High Performance Research Reactors (HPRRs) are currently studying a novel Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) foil based fuel to replace ...
Wettability and nanostructure effect on oscillating heat pipes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
As electronics technologies rapidly develop with a demand for more power and miniaturization, effective thermal management of these systems becomes much more important. The oscillating heat pipe (OHP) is a promising highly ...
Analysis and design of a hydraulic compaction machine to produce activated carbon pellets
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Skydiving control system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
Skydiving, the act of a person jumping out of an airplane (or aircraft) and landing safely on the ground, has been a common practice since the early 1900's. Throughout the history of skydiving, skydivers have used parachutes ...
Analysis of the potential for flow-induced deflection of nuclear reactor fuel plates under high velocity flows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
The University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) is one of five High Performance Research Reactors(HPRRs) in the U.S. that still utilizes high enriched uranium (HEU) fuel. Currently, a novel LEU fuel is under consideration ...
A parametric evaluation of carbon nanotube synthesis from alumina particles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a new material which was first discovered in 1991, and they have generate huge activities in most science and engineering areas due to their unprecedented electrical, thermal, and mechanical ...
Investigation of a flat plate oscillating heat pipe as a thermal spreader with centered heating
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
Flat plate oscillating heat pipes are a relatively new and developing technology. They show much promise for advanced thermal management of current and future electronics cooling. However, while making them is easy, modeling ...
Study of damping effects on double negative acoustic metamaterials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] An insight into the working damping mechanism of a novel microstructure to attenuate wave propagation, is obtained for a better design of metamaterials ...
Flooded two-phase flow dynamics and heat transfer with engineered wettability on microstructured surfaces
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
Due to excessive droplet feeding, a period of flooding occurs as part of a typical droplet based thermal management cycle. The conventional superhydrophilic surface, which is designed for thin film evaporation because of ...
Cruise flight optimization of a commercial aircraft with winds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
With high prices for fuel and airfare, companies are looking to minimize operational costs. Reducing aircraft fuel consumption is one strategy companies use to lower costs. During flights, commercial aircraft divide the ...
Work cycle efficiency for a hydrostatic machine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] If the hydraulic Pump and motor are connected together through hydraulic hoses, the system is called a hydrostatic transmission or a hydrostatic drive. ...
