Commercial Design Of Four Indirect-Fired Fluidized Bed Gasifer Systems, Eoin Myles Clancy

Masters Theses

"This thesis deals with the design and cost analysis of four scaled up gasification plants. Reactor outputs range from 10 to 40 million Btu/hr (heating value of gas). Scale-up design parameters are based on data obtained from a 20 inch indirectly heated steam fluidized bed gasifier. This produces a medium Btu gas (450 Btu/ft³). The gas may be burnt on site or used as a chemical feedstock.

The plant designs consider reactor sizes, steam plant dimensions, specifications for feedhoppers, cyclones, conveying equipment, internal firetube heat exchangers, and drying plants.

The economic analysis deals with the cost of the …

Investigation Of Vscous/Inviscid Interaction In Transonic Flow Over Airfoils With Suction, Chadra S. Vemuru

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations

The viscous/inviscid interaction over transonic airfoils with and without suction is studied. The streamline angle at the edge of the boundary layer is used to couple the viscous and inviscid flows. The potential flow equations are solved for the inviscid flow field. In the shock region the Euler equations are solved using the method of integral relations. For this the potential flow solution is used as the initial and boundary conditions. An integral method is used to solve the laminar boundary-layer equations. Since both methods are integral methods, a continuous interaction is allowed between the outer inviscid flow region and …

Air Conditioner Fan Speed Controller For Comfort And Dehumidification, Florida Solar Energy Center, Mukesh Khattar

FSEC Energy Research Center®

Air conditioners perform the dual functions of cooling and dehumidifying. Many air conditioner units do not adequately dehumidify the air in Florida's humid climate. The quest for higher energy efficiency ratings (EER) has produced units that perform poorly in moisture removal. What follows is a simple and cheap method to increase the moisture removal performance of any air conditioner.

Fans To Reduce Cooling Costs In The Southeast, Florida Solar Energy Center, Subrato Chandra

FSEC Energy Research Center®

During the hot, humid summer months in the southeastern U. S., air conditioning costs are a substantial part of the average home's utility bill. In Florida, for example, air conditioning accounts for about 30 percent of the annual utility bill for an all electric house. Fans can help lower air conditioning costs.

There are three generic types of fans to reduce summer air conditioning costs: air circulating fans to create air motion which increases comfort, whole house fans to promote fresh air exchange, and attic vent fans to lower attic temperatures.

Design Of Multivariable Feedback Control Systems Via Spectral Assignment, Mohsen Marefat

Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations

During the past 15 year s significant advances have been made towards developing viable synthesis- techniques for multivariable feedback control systems. The entire aggregate of this theoretical work has been reviewed and consolidated. Diverse notations have been standardized into a single system. A two-step design philosophy for spectral assignment has been developed which first meets stability and time response requirements by assigning eigenvalues and eigenvector s and then provides for attainment of secondary objectives without significant deviation from the initial assignment. Finally, a computer-aided design package has been created to streamline the process of mathematical calculation and to allow users …

Eigenvalue And Eigenvector Design Sensitivity Analysis For Nonlinear Beam Vibrations, Jian-Zhong Yuan

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations

A beam with immovable ends under large amplitude oscillations is axially subjected to an amplitude-dependent stretching force which is induced by the geometrical nonlinearity. The design sensitivity analysis for such a beam is investigated in this study.

Two variational formulations based on different approximations of nonlinear stretching force are studied firstly. The analytical equations of design sensitivity analysis for these nonlinear eigenproblems are then derived. Finally, a computational scheme using finite element method is developed to calculate the design sensitivity derivatives of the eigenvalue and eigenvector numerically. Numerical examples associated with the nonlinear eigenvalue and eigenvector analysis, as well as …

Solar-Assisted Heat Pumps For Low-Temperature Industrial Process Heat Applications, Kamran Fouladi-Semnani

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations

In recent years, solar energy has been investigated as an alternative to· the fossil fuel based systems for industrial process heat (IPH) applications. Published results in literature indicate that roughly seven percent of total U.S. IPH requirement is in the temperature range of 40-90 °C. The present study, sponsored by Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), examines the potential of series solar-assisted heat pumps (SAHP) for low-temperature IPH spectrum in the TVA region.

A design method based on utilizability technique is employed to determine the long-term thermal performance of the SAHP system. The transient simulation methodology is also employed to determine the …

A Survey Of The Literature On Moisture In Building Construction, Lawrence Charles Tiboldo

Theses

The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the literature on moisture in buildings for its usefulness in the understanding of the theory involved in moisture transfer in buildings. Because analysis of the effects of moisture migration and development of condensation control strategies in structures depends on the knowledge of heat and moisture transfer theory as well as on the documented data on building material properties, evaluation of the usefulness of the reference material will serve as an indication of the availability of pertinent information.

To fulfill this objective, the literature listed as references to Chapter 21 of the 1985 …

Laminar Flow Through A Porous Annulus With Surface Suction, Stelios C. Nicolaides

Theses

A theoretical investigation was conducted to obtain the velocity, pressure and shear stress distributions for incompressible, steady, fully developed, laminar flow through an annulus, with a uniformly porous inside tube wall. Suction at the walls is a result of the pressure difference across the porous wall.

The continuity equation, momentum equation and the Darcy's law for suction velocity are analysed with an integral method. The resulting differential equations were solved using a numerical technique.

For the same radii ratio, dimensionless inlet pressures on both sides of the porous wall and dimensionless porous resistance, the dimensionless length required to reach zero …
