Unsymmetrical And Symmetrical Sparse Iterative Algorithm With Multiple Right-Hand-Sides Strategies, D. T. Nguyen, A. P. Honrao, G. Hou, O. Akan, O. Baysal

Civil & Environmental Engineering Faculty Publications

Unified unsymmetrical and symmetrical iterative solvers for handling multiple right-hand-side vectors are examined in this work. Efficient computer implementation strategies (to reduce computational time and in-core memory requirements) are proposed. In-core, out-of-core, linear, multiple right hand side (RHS) vectors, non-linear, symmetrical, and unsymmetrical capabilities of the developed software are demonstrated by solving variety of problems selected form different engineering disciplines. Results indicate that the developed algorithm and software is reliable and efficient.

Magnetohydrodynamic Simulation Of Electromagnetic Pump In Tc-1, Lillian J. Ratliff

Reactor Campaign (TRP)

The pilot molten lead-bismuth target circuit (TC-1) in university of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) was designed for beam power of 1 MW accelerator driven system (ADS). The TC-1 is a liquid lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) circulation loop. Circulation of the liquid alloy is driven by an annular linear induction pump (ALIP). Experimental measurements of system parameters have yielded a surprisingly low pump efficiency of less than 1%. A numerical study of the pump efficiency is being conducted to determine which operational parameters are responsible for this low efficiency and to give insight into future EM pump design. The numerical study will …

Development Of Commercial Applications For Recycled Plastics Using Finite Element Analysis, Nanjunda Narasimhamurthy

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis investigates the suitability of thermo-kinetically recycled plastics for use in commercial product applications using finite element analysis and statistics. Different recycled material blends were tested and evaluated for their use in commercial product applications. There are six different blends of thermo-kinetically recycled plastics used for testing and CATIA is used for finite element analysis. The different types of thermo-kinetically recycled plastics blends are: pop bottles made of PolyethyleneTeraphthalate (PET), milk jugs made of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Vinyl seats made of Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) and small amount of Polypropylene (PP) and Urethane, electronic scrap made of engineering resins …

Validation Of Finite Element Beam Models, Pavan R. Madhineni

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations

Finite Element (FE) methods these days are becoming very popular to predict the responses of structures in industries, such as the aerospace and automobile industries. When there is a new design or modification of an existing design, the product must be tested to fulfill the criterion projected by the industry or external agencies before it can be launched. The product must be checked for each and every aspect, and every minute detail of each of the external forces. Hence, it becomes very important to carry out the model validation on the product.

This thesis describes validation of finite element (FE) …

Knowledge Representation, Organization, And Formalization For Simulation Modeling Of Discrete Manufacturing System, Jung Hung Ma

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Simulation is an useful tool that helps managers making decision by designing models for real systems. It helps companies to study behaviors of real systems hy analyzing computer models and improve the systems based on the experiments' results. However, cross-domain knowledge requirement and lack of tools facilitate modeling are the main reasons that make industries hesitate to use simulation to assist making decision. This research is an attempt to develop robust knowledge representations for discrete manufacturing system and conceptual simulation model. A modeling methodology was proposed to utilize these knowledge representations (KRs) for developing conceptual simulation models from application domain …

Investigation And Applications Of Latin Hypercube Sampling Methods, Prashant K. Patel

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations

The Latin hypercube sampling method, sometimes called the stratified sampling method, is a commonly used variance reduction method. Recently, the optimal Latin hypercube sampling method (OLH) and the modified optimal Latin hypercube sampling method (MOLH) are introduced in the literature, which use the genetic algorithm to adjust the distance between sampled points.

This paper will compare the basic Latin hypercube, the optimal Latin hypercube and the modified optimal Latin hypercube methods for generating the sample points for statistical application and curve fitting, in te1ms of accuracy and efficiency. Analytical and structural examples are used in this thesis to facilitate the …

Design And Fabrication Of A Prototype Fabry-Perot Cavity For The Compton Polarimeter Upgrade At Jefferson Lab, Deepa Deepa

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations

Upcoming experiments at Hall A at Jefferson lab require 1 % absolute accuracy of the electron beam polarization measurement at 0.85 Ge V energy. The Compton polarimeter at Hall A is capable of measuring beam polarization with 3 - 4 % accuracies at this beam energy. Hence it was proposed to upgrade the present Compton by doubling the laser frequency [2]. The present Compton polarimeter operates with a 1064 nm, continuous wave laser at 200 mW. This power is enhanced to 1.5 kW using a 0.85 m long Fabry-Perot Cavity. Changing to 532 nm laser with the same power would …

Rapid Prototyping For The Design Of Virtual Worlds, Prabhu V. Krishnan

Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations

Development of Virtual Reality (VR) applications is challenging where application developers are required to have expertise in the target VR technologies along with the problem domain expertise. New VR technologies impose a significant learning curve to even the most experienced VR developer. The proposed solution relies on synthesis to automate the migration of a VR application to a new unfamiliar VR platform/technology. To solve the problem, the Common Scene Definition Framework (CSDF) was developed, that serves as a superset/model representation of the target virtual world. Input modules were developed to populate the framework with the capabilities of the virtual world …

Quantifying Savings From Improved Boiler Operation, Kevin Carpenter, J. Kelly Kissock

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Publications

On/off operation and excess combustion air reduce boiler energy efficiency. This paper presents methods to quantify energy savings from switching to modulation control mode and reducing excess air in natural gas fired boilers.

The methods include calculation of combustion temperature, calculation of the relationship between internal convection coefficient and gas flow rate, and calculation of overall heat transfer assuming a parallel-flow heat exchanger model. The method for estimating savings from changing from on/off to modulation control accounts for purge and drift losses through the boiler and the improved heat transfer within the boiler due to the reduced combustion gas flow …
