Research And Testing Of Pvc Solvent Bonding Methods, David Williams, Dr. William Pitt
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The purpose of this research project was to determine the optimal method to solvent bond polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pieces together. Understanding how to create a strong solvent bond in PVC is important to a related prosthetic leg project that has been performed at BYU. This was completed by bonding flat samples of PVC that were prepared with varying methods.

Charcoal Briquette Manufacturing In The Uros Islands Of Peru, Aaron Harrison, Dr. Vincent Wilding
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The Uros Islands in Peru, also known as the floating islands on Lake Titicaca, are made from reeds by the inhabitants. These reeds serve not only as shelter, but also as the main cooking fuel for nine months of the year. During the other three months the reeds are too wet to burn, so the islanders use propane to prepare their food. Unfortunately, propane can cost more than 50% of their monthly income which is a financial burden to most families on the islands. Additionally, breathing the smoke from these reeds can increase the islanders’ risk of contracting a respiratory …

Waste Treatment For The Uros Islands, Spencer Bowen, Dr. Randy Lewis
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The goal of this project was to design and install one bio-toilet system before the end of May 2011 in cooperation with the inhabitants of the Uros Islands on Lake Titicaca, Peru. The system is composed of two parts: the bio-toilet infrastructure and the treatment of waste. This proposal focuses on waste treatment. The bio-toilet infrastructure was developed in tandem via another project. There are several bio-toilet and waste treatment designs useful for land applications1; however, the unique challenge of this project was to develop a system that will be able to serve the people living on man-made, …
Updates To A Sequence Of Thermodynamics Experiments For Mechanical Engineering Technology Students,

Updates To A Sequence Of Thermodynamics Experiments For Mechanical Engineering Technology Students, Roger A. Beardsley
All Faculty Scholarship for the School of Graduate Studies and Research
This paper presents an outline of thermodynamics experiments and lab activities that accompany the introductory thermodynamics course for Mechanical Engineering Technology juniors at Central Washington University (CWU) in Ellensburg, Washington. It outlines and describes the current suite of thermodynamics lab activities, comparing the current suite of seven lab activities to a sequence outlined in an ASEE conference paper presented in 1995. Some lab activities in that paper have been replaced, while others have been updated. For example an experiment to measure the Joule-Thomson coefficient has been replaced with a First Law energy balance activity and the former First Law experiment …

Scale-Up Of Bubble Column Reactors: A Review Of Current State-Of-The-Art, Ashfaq Shaikh, Muthanna H. Al-Dahhan
Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
In Multiphase Flow Reaction Systems, in General, an Extrapolation of Small Diameter Behavior to Larger Ones is Always an Important and Challenging Task. the Critical Issue in Such an Extrapolation Remains to Be Mixing and Hydrodynamic Characteristics. It Needs Reliable Similarity Criteria that Would Result in Similar Mixing and Hydrodynamics and Hence Transport and Performance in Two Different Scales. Numerous Experimental and Computational Studies Have Been Performed to Investigate the Flow Behavior of Bubble Column Reactors for a Proper Design and Scale-Up. Experimental Techniques Vary from Simple Visual Observation to More Advanced Noninvasive Diagnostic Techniques. on Computational Front the Progress …
