Experimental Use Of Hydrogen To Reduce The Consumption Of Carbon Fuels In A Compression Ignition Engine And Its Effect On Performance, Tyler Brian Stousland Jan 2016

Experimental Use Of Hydrogen To Reduce The Consumption Of Carbon Fuels In A Compression Ignition Engine And Its Effect On Performance, Tyler Brian Stousland

Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics

As part of an effort to find use for electric energy produced by wind turbines, Basin Electric started a program to produce hydrogen through electrolysis. It is not enough to simply produce hydrogen, there needs to be uses for the hydrogen in order to make the project worth pursuing. Hydrogen can be used to supplement diesel fuel in the combustion process in a compression ignition engine. This research will go over two engines which were tested running different combinations of hydrogen and diesel fuel. The results will show how both engines were able to replace up to 50% of the …

Impact Of Recycling On The Mechanical And Thermo-Mechanical Properties Of Wood Flour/High Density Polyethylene And Wood Flour/Poly Lactic Acid Composites, Sujal Bhattacharjee Jan 2016

Impact Of Recycling On The Mechanical And Thermo-Mechanical Properties Of Wood Flour/High Density Polyethylene And Wood Flour/Poly Lactic Acid Composites, Sujal Bhattacharjee

Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics

This research concentrates on the recyclability of two wood plastic composites (WPCs) - wood flour/HDPE and wood flour/PLA composites. Two different filler loadings (30 and 50 wt%) were considered for each polymer composite. Each composite formulation contained 3 wt% of a coupling agent, and was individually recycled up to six times by extrusion process. Samples for mechanical and thermo-mechanical tests were prepared by injection molding. All test results were statistically analyzed with a confidence level of 95%. Additional tests such as fiber length measurement, GPC, DSC, TGA, FTIR, and SEM were also performed at specific reprocessing cycles. After reprocessing six …
