To Study The Effect Of Catalyst On The Physical Parameters Of Carbon Spheres, Tejas Shailesh Mehta 2014 Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

To Study The Effect Of Catalyst On The Physical Parameters Of Carbon Spheres, Tejas Shailesh Mehta

Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses

The discovery of fullerenes has opened up modern studies in carbon materials. Carbon nanoparticles have a large surface area and demonstrate good conductivity. Their unique properties has gained attention in many areas such as water filtration, hydrogen storage and battery electrodes. In this research, carbon spheres with high specific area and uniformity were grown using the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) process with silicon substrates, ethylene (C2H4) as a carbon precursor and argon as the inert gas. We observe that the morphology of carbon spheres largely depend on the experimental conditions, including CVD time duration, temperature, catalyst and flow of gases. …


Exploration Of A Computational Fluid Dynamics Integrated Design Methodology For Potential Application To A Wind Turbine Blade, Gaurav Kapoor 2014 Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

Exploration Of A Computational Fluid Dynamics Integrated Design Methodology For Potential Application To A Wind Turbine Blade, Gaurav Kapoor

Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses

The main purpose of this thesis is to conduct a parametric sensitivity study on the blade design of AOC 15/50 wind turbine based on a CFD approach and optimize the blade design for maximizing the power output. The ANSYS® Fluent® flow solver using the k-ω SST turbulence model was validated by simulating the flow over two dimensional airfoils comprising the AOC 15/50 wind turbine blade. The CFD results have shown a considerable agreement with the experimental data for the airfoils. Parametric correlation study and sensitivity analysis were conducted by performing actual flow simulations over the turbine blade using ANSYS® Fluent®. …

Improving Airplane Touchdown Control By Utilizing The Adverse Elevator Effect, Nihad E. Daidzic Ph.D., Sc.D. 2014 AAR Aerospace Consulting, LLC

Improving Airplane Touchdown Control By Utilizing The Adverse Elevator Effect, Nihad E. Daidzic Ph.D., Sc.D.

International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace

The main objective of this original research article is to understand the short-term dynamic behavior of the transport-category airplane during landing flare elevator control application. Increasing the pitch angle to arrest the sink rate, the elevator will have to produce negative lift to rotate the airplane’s nose upward. This has an immediate adverse effect of initially accelerating airplane downward. A mathematical model of landing flare based on the flat-Earth longitudinal dynamics of rigid airplane was developed which is realistic only on very short time-scales as pitch stiffness and damping were neglected. Pilot control scenarios using impulse and step elevator pull-up …
