Multi-path planning for hydraulic fluid routing
No full textThesis: M. Eng., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2018.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 75-77).In this thesis, I designed, implemented, and optimized an algorithm to solve the circuit-routing problem, optimizing the solution for exact correctness in a low aspect ratio scenario, as opposed to approximate correctness in high aspect ratio scenarios, where topological approaches are typically applied. I applied this algorithm to 3D printed hydraulically actuated robots, though it has additional applications in circuit routing for PCB assembly, FPGA interconnect optimization, fiber optic routing, and other routing applications. The performance of the algorithm is discussed, profiled, and tuned from an algorithmic perspective, with further improvements suggested. The effect of starting conditions on the performance of the algorithm is discussed theoretically and analyzed in real-world performance. Overall, the algorithm is shown to provide exactly correct results and perform adequately over a range of starting conditions useful for 3D printed hydraulic fluid pipes.by Landon Carter.M. Eng
Frontenac Arch Biosphere and Landon Bay Biodiversity Monitoring Meta-Database, 2014
No full textThis dataset is a meta-data compilation of programs, research, and publications on biodiversity monitoring within the Landon Bay and Frontenac Arch Biosphere Region. The aim of this project was to develop a central location for biodiversity monitoring programs so they are easily accessible to the public, stakeholders, and students. This will further act as a liaison between organizations and stakeholders, and interested parties. Each entry in the meta-database includes information on: Date, Research/Program Title, Location, Organization/Author, Purpose, Abstract, Type of Study, Contact Information, Species, and Information Access.
The dataset was created as part of course requirements for ENSC430

Computational Analysis and Regression Laws for Nozzle Erosion Prediction in Hybrid Rockets
No full textThe erosion of the nozzle throat can represent one of the major limitations against the future widespread use of hybrid rocket engines (HREs) in the space industry. In fact, nozzle erosion in HREs can be more severe and harder to predict than in solid rockets due to the higher concentration of oxidizing species in the combustion products and to mixture ratio shifts and/or throttling. Therefore, an accurate understanding of the erosion phenomenon is of fundamental importance for the technological advancement of HREs. This work is focused on the investigation of graphite nozzle erosion in HREs burning high-density polyethylene with two different oxidizers, oxygen and nitrous oxide. First, the results of a computational fluid dynamics parametric analysis are used to derive closed-form regression laws for the rapid estimation of nozzle throat erosion and wall temperature depending on chamber pressure and mixture ratio. Then, a one-dimensional transient heat conduction solver is loosely coupled with the aforementioned regression laws, allowing to reconstruct the transient heating process within the solid. The obtained numerical results are validated against experimental data. Finally, the effect of gas-phase reactions on the heterogeneous reactions occurring at the nozzle surface is highlighted when moving from fuel-rich to oxidizer-rich conditions
Scaling of impeller response to impeller-diffuser interactions in centrifugal compressors
No full textThesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2008.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Includes bibliographical references (p. 119-121).A numerical investigation has been conducted to quantify the effect of impeller-diffuser interaction on changes in impeller performance. An assessment is made of the hypothesis that the nondimensional parameter characterizing impeller performance change due to interaction is the ratio of the radial gap between the impeller trailing edge and the diffuser leading edge to the diffuser vane pitch. The time averaged results are found to show no measurable performance change with varying degrees of impeller-diffuser interaction, disproving the hypothesis. Analysis of the flow field shows that changes in loss and blockage due to interaction in the region of the blade leakage flow, which were expected to drive performance change, are negligible. The disproven hypothesis lacks parameters to relate the level of impeller passage unsteadiness to the level of performance change due to interaction, which are shown to be important. The ratio of the unsteady amplitude, of blade leakage velocity or blade loading, to the time average value appears to be a parameter capable of quantifying the impact of unsteadiness on impeller performance change.by David Landon Tarr.S.M
