Experimental Testing Of Convective Spray Cooling With The Aid Of An Electrical Field Using The Coulomb Force, Paul Joseph Kreitzer
Experimental Testing Of Convective Spray Cooling With The Aid Of An Electrical Field Using The Coulomb Force, Paul Joseph Kreitzer
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Continual advances in the electronics industry and other high heat-flux fields have led to a need for increased heat transfer efficiency. Spray cooling is one of many methods for removing heat from surfaces. Experimental testing conducted at West Virginia University was sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research in collaboration with the Air Force Research Laboratory to test the effectiveness of using inductive spray charging to enhance the heat transfer rate. Modifications made to the experimental test rig built by Hunnell (2005) enabled the study of electro-hydro-dynamics.;Experimental testing using working fluids, FC-72 and HFE-7000, was conducted. Electrodes were …
Diesel Fuel Extender From Animal Waste, Laura S. Eddy
Diesel Fuel Extender From Animal Waste, Laura S. Eddy
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
An increase in the quantity of food is required to meet the demand of an increasing in the population. The agricultural industry continues to grow to meet this demand. This thesis focuses on a new method to deal with the increasing amount of animal waste that is produced as a result of the increasing food demand. By reacting animal waste with an aqueous solution and diesel fuel, a major fraction of the waste becomes a diesel fuel extender. The extended diesel fuel contains no ash and has a viscosity similar to conventional diesel fuel. The extended diesel fuel contains 20% …
