Application of Cellulose Nanocrystals and Zinc Oxide as a Green Fire-Retardant System in High Density Polyethylene
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Polymeric materials are widely used in diverse applications. However, a major weakness in the majority of the thermoplastic polymers is their lack of ability to resist fire. Most of the chemicals and additives currently ...
Utilization of Cold Spraying Technique to Develop Ni Based Composites Reinforced with Ni3Al Particulates
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
This study was intended to investigate the capability of cold spraying deposition process as a near net shape forming technique to produce MMCs. P/M technique was used to fabricate MMCs in this study for the reason of ...
Dynamics of Compound Droplets via 3D Spectral Boundary Elements
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Compound droplets raise great interests due to their applications in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industry. In spite of the growing demand of theoretical investigation of dynamics of compound droplets from those ...
Thermo-Mechanical Analysis of Polyamide Biocomposites
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Biobased fillers in thermoplastics have seen increased usage over the last several years. The increased usage of biobased fillers follows the ever-increasing thrust to reduce petroleum and synthetic petrochemical product ...
Best Practices in Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling of Cerebral Aneurysms using ANSYS CFX
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Today many researchers are looking toward computational fluid dynamics (CFD) as a tool that
can help doctors understand and predict the severity of aneurysms, but there has yet to be any
conclusive proof of the accuracy ...
Numerical Investigation of Vibration in a Steam Turbine Control Valve
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
A numerical analysis is performed at North Dakota State University to investigate and resolve steam inlet control valve vibration in a Minnkota Power Cooperative turbine. Pressure fluctuations resulting from an unstable ...
Numerical Simulations of Incompressible and Compressible Transitional Turbine Flows
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Accurate and reliable turbulence and transition models are needed for prediction heating loads in the hot section of the turbine, and predicting aerodynamic losses when designing new blade profiles. Two dimensional ...
The Use of Electrospun Soy Protein Isolate/Polyvinyl Alcohol Nanofibers for Controlled Drug Delivery As Well As Investigation Into Mass Production
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
As the global movement progresses towards environmental awareness, industries are attempting to become less dependent on petroleum based materials. This study investigates the incorporation of Soy Protein Isolate (SPI) ...
Bioprinting of Pancreatic Cancer Cells for Improved Drug Testing
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Currently, many drugs are preclinically tested on two-dimensional cell cultures. However, this method does not adequately replicate the cellular interactions or diffusion gradient that occur in three-dimensional tissues, ...
Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of Al-Cu Cold Sprayed and Alloy 625 Wire Arc Sprayed Coatings
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
This study examines microstructural-based mechanical properties of Al-Cu composite deposited by cold spraying and wire arc sprayed nickel-based Alloy 625 coating using numerical modeling and experimental techniques. The ...
