Back-Imaging Of Pressure-Sensitive Paint To Determine Close Proximity Ground Effects Of Propellers, Jacob Kulig

Honors Theses

The ground effects of propellers have been extensively studied. Although the flow field between a propeller and a ground plate has been theoretically and experimentally analyzed through a variety of methods, there are limitations to the current work, especially in globally analyzing the nature of the flow along the ground plate and unsteady analysis. This study provides a proof of concept that back-imaged pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) can successfully analyze the pressure along such a ground plate. The pressure field was successfully measured utilizing this technique. By analyzing the pressure field in the frequency domain, the unsteady characteristics of the flow …

The Transition To A Renewable Energy Electric Grid In The Caribbean Island Nation Of Antigua And Barbuda, Patrick Hoody

Honors Theses

The present study outlines the development and implementation of a computer model for Antigua and Barbuda's national electricity system, a dual-island nation in the Caribbean. The primary objective of this research is to investigate the cost-effective integration of renewable energy sources, including solar photovoltaics (PV), wind, and in the most novel contribution to the study, concentrating solar power (CSP). In addition to these technologies, the study explores the potential of battery and hydrogen energy storage to facilitate the transition towards 100% renewable electricity generation and the reduction of carbon emissions. This thesis is not solely a theoretical endeavor; it also …

Undergraduate Mathematics Day: Programs, Lectures, Promotional Materials

In 1960 Eugene Wigner wrote a now-famous article titled The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences. In 1993, the homophonic quotient groups for French and English (the quotient of the free group generated by the French (respectively English) alphabet determined by relations representing standard pronunciation rules) were explicitly characterized. In this talk, we will explore the mathematical and philosophical connections between these two works. Mathematically I will describe how my colleagues Herbert Gangl, Woohyung Lee (PO’15) and I, native speakers of three quite different languages, applied the methodology proposed in 1993 to our three language systems: German, Korean, …

Positioning Public Services In A Rights-Based Economy, Ruth Getobai Nchagwa

Biennial Conference: The Social Practice of Human Rights

COVID-19 pandemic has put spotlight on major injustices at the core of our current economic model which exposes many to shortages and risks and delivers extreme wealth for the few. War in Ukraine, political instability in Africa and increased foreign debts by governments in the global south have led to increased inflation which has put the poorest on the margins. Governments as primary duty bearers are crippled by reduced revenues and high rates of debt servicing which has negatively affected provision of public services . Public services are vital goods and services that provide a foundation for dignified and enriching …

Novel Castor Oil/Water/Ethanol Pickering Emulsions Stabilized By Magnetic Nanoparticles And Magnetically Controllable Demulsification, Mohammad J. Hasan, Peng Chen, Neithan Dominick, Erick S. Vasquez, Esteban E. Ureña-Benavides

Chemical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications

A novel castor oil/water/ethanol Pickering emulsion, stabilized by magnetic nanoparticles (NPs), was developed to allow on-demand demulsification by an external magnetic field for the extraction of ethanol from aqueous solution using the castor oil. The emulsion was stabilized by Fe3O4-coated cellulose nanocrystals (CNC@Fe3O4) and lignin-coated Fe3O4 NPs (lignin@Fe3O4). The stability of the emulsions was investigated at various castor oil to ethanol-water ratios (50/50 and 70/30), various NP concentrations, and ethanol concentrations in the aqueous phase. The magnetically controlled demulsification ability of the emulsions was investigated by using a permanent magnet. The results showed that the 70/30 emulsions were more stable …
