Impact of Recycling on the Mechanical and Thermo-Mechanical Properties of Wood Flour/High Density Polyethylene and Wood Flour/Poly Lactic Acid Composites
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
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. ...
Experimental Use of Hydrogen to Reduce the Consumption of Carbon Fuels in a Compression Ignition Engine and Its Effect on Performance
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
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 ...
Development of an Advanced Composite Material Consisting of Iron Matrix Reinforced with Ultra High Temperature Ceramic Particulate (TiB2) with Optimum Properties
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
This study was intended to investigate the mechanical properties and microstructure of iron based composite reinforced by ultra high temperature ceramics fabricated by powder metallurgy technique. The fabrication parameters ...
Processing and Manufacture of Soybean and Wheat Straw Medium Density Fiberboard Utilizing Epoxidized Sucrose Soyate Resin
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Soybean straw and wheat straw show promise as annually renewable alternative to traditional wood sources for fiberboard. Epoxidized sucrose soyate has shown high performance as a thermosetting resin and could be adapted ...
Minimum Favorable Conditions for Hydrogen-Diesel Combustion
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
A test apparatus was designed and fabricated that allowed very small amounts of diesel fuel to be injected into a hydrogen-air mixture. This apparatus was designed to be able to operate near the limits of diesel fuel ...
