Analysis Of Ultra-Wideband Voltage Pulse Propagation On Dispersive Absorptive Transmission Lines, Katherine Aho
Analysis Of Ultra-Wideband Voltage Pulse Propagation On Dispersive Absorptive Transmission Lines, Katherine Aho
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
Electromagnetic transient waves are pulsed events that occur when there is an abruptchange in the typical steady-state conditions on a transmission line. Digital pulses on integrated circuits and a lightning strike on overhead power lines are some examples of transient voltage pulses. Although transients occur within a very short time duration, they can propagate over long distances; much farther than a slowly-varying envelope signal can propagate. Lingering effects of transients can be damaging to electrical equipment if they are not properly mitigated. Despite the negative effects of transients, certain designed transient pulses may be used to an advantage in remote …
Organic Fouling Mitigation In Forward Osmosis Technology Through The Use Of Oscilatting Alternating Current Electric Fields, Logan Werner
Organic Fouling Mitigation In Forward Osmosis Technology Through The Use Of Oscilatting Alternating Current Electric Fields, Logan Werner
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
Forward osmosis (FO) is the term given to osmosis in water filtration applications. FO has many advantages to conventional membrane filtration processes. The lack of external pressure needed to force solvent through the membrane is dramatically decreased in FO, resulting in a lower cost of operation compared to reverse osmosis. Lower external pressures also result in decreased fouling on the membrane surface and improved permeate flux. Fouling is one of the foremost challenges within the membrane filtration industry and is one of the biggest contributors to operating costs. While FO results in less fouling than RO, fouling remains a major …

Capacitive Voltage Converter Method For The Search Of Water Ice On Celestial Bodies, Nathan Raymond
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) is an advanced imaging technique used to map the permittivity of dielectric materials. ECT has diverse uses across various engineering fields, including industrial pipelines, the oil and gas sector, chemical manufacturing, and process monitoring, particularly for analyzing fluid flows. ECT can also be applied as a form of dielectric spectroscopy by measuring the response of materials under test (MUT) to changes in frequency, allowing for a detailed study of permittivity variations in a medium.One of NASA's Artemis missions is to locate and utilize in-situ resources. Transporting water to space is prohibitively expensive, with costs of $20,000 …
Effective Drag Coefficient Prediction On Single-View 2d Images Of Snowflakes, Cameron Hudson
Effective Drag Coefficient Prediction On Single-View 2d Images Of Snowflakes, Cameron Hudson
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
The drag coefficient of snowflakes is an crucial particle descriptor that can quantify the relationships with the mass, shape, size, and fall speed of snowflake particles. Previous studies has relied on estimating and improving empirical correlations for the drag coefficient of particles, utilizing 3D images from the Multi-Angled Snowflake Camera Database (MASCDB) to estimate snowflake properties such as mass, geometry, shape classification, and rimming degree. However, predictions of the drag coefficient with single-view 2D images of snowflakes has proven to be a challenging problem, primarily due to the lack of data and time-consuming, expensive methods used to estimate snowflake shape …
