Hydrodynamic performance of multi-component structures in oscillatory flow, from blow-out preventer to dual Cylinder interference
… key components for the wellhead integrity, the Blow-out Preventer (BOP) is designed and constructed to prevent abnormal pressure change in the well and keep the blow-out from happening, and therefore is essential for the whole well- being of the offshore drilling system, and this calls for a …

Data driven low-bandwidth intelligent control of a jet engine combustor
… while avoiding regions of instability and blow-out. An experimental procedure is discussed for identifying regions of instability and gathering sufficient data to build a data-driven model of the system's operating modes. Regions of instability and blow-out are identified experimentally and …

Laser Wakefield Accelerator Simulations Using EPOCH
… the Gaussian profile formed the most complete blow out regime. The introduction of Nitrogen neutrals greatly increased the number of electrons trapped and accelerated. The highest energy achieved over a distance of 1mm was 265MeV in nN = 5 ⇥ 1016cm3. The rapidly focussing pulse demonstrated …

One-Dimensional, Finite-Rate Model for Gas-Turbine Combustors
… show the ability of the code to predict blow-out due to rich and lean mixtures, and to predict the response of a combustor to perturbations in operating and boundary conditions.

Modelling spherical flame propagation in a closed volume
… the performance of a combustion process, is the blow-out and relight ability in flight applications of gas turbine engines. A very common experimental setup to obtain laminar flame speed data is the constant volume combustion bomb, where the laminar flame speed is calculated from the measured …

Real-Time Prediction of Lean Blowout using Chemical Reactor Network
The lean blow-out (LBO) of gas turbine combustors is a concern that can limit the rate of descent for an aircraft, the maneuverability of military jets, and cause a costly and time-intensive reignition of land-based gas turbines. This work explores the feasibility of a model-based combustor …

Dynamics of Lean Direct Injection Combustors
… dynamics of thermoacoustic instability and lean blowout (LBO), two of the major complications that industry will face when they attempt to incorporate LDI in a production engine. The present dissertation investigates these dynamics from a fundamental and applications standpoint. Fundamental …

The Rowing Coaches
The Rowing Coaches is about friendship, money, love, loss, and rowing. It chronicles the turning point in the lives of three friends who are professional rowing coaches. The friends are Don Bestos, Bill Maxwell, and Bergman, men who are or were at the very top of their sport, and now question their …

An analysis of differences in glass cartridge siliconization parameters and processes for manufacturing of pharmaceutical cartridges
… time, standing time, air pressure of silicone blowout, and silicone concentration. Results from these experiments showed that some production processes have a greater effect than others on silicone layer thickness and subsequent gliding forces. Differences in cleaning procedures on each of the …

Autoignition study of next generation aviation fuels and components
… hydrocarbon species, and their blends that are out of jet fuel standards and not comprehensively evaluated in combustion behavior are categorized as C fuels. Category C fuels are tested at similar test conditions. C-1, also known as Gevo ATJ (Alcohol to Jet fuels), is comprised of two heavily …
