FACULTY/GRADUATE SEMINARS
Monday, March 20,
1:30–3 pm, Rogers
226: Martha Gallivan, Assistant Professor,
School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, will speak on “A Systems Engineering Approach to Materials
Processing.”.
As
understanding of atomic and molecular interactions improves and becomes more
quantitative, it may be possible to
use these models to design materials and the processes to make them. Formal methods for process design and process
control are routinely applied to macroscopic properties such as temperature and
composition, but molecular models
are rarely included in the formal design process. Two design and control problems in materials
processing will be described in this talk,
each with its own modeling requirements and specific challenges. The first example is in chemical vapor
deposition of polycrystalline metal oxide thin films. An optical sensor provides real-time
measurements that are sensitive to temperature,
film thickness, and
microstructure. A dynamic process model
is used along with a sensor model to simultaneously infer microstructural and macroscopic
properties, which can then be used
for feedback control to compensate for disturbances and equipment drift. A key challenge is to select the simplest
possible process model to interpret the measurements. The second example is the
design of feed profiles for highly branched polymers. A process model has been developed to
describe the evolution of molecular weight and branching architecture, and is implemented with a Monte
Carlo simulation. Good
agreement with experiments has been obtained,
relating the molecular weight to monomer concentration and mixing, and can be explained by the formation of cycles in
the polymer. The development of a model
relating process conditions and molecular architecture makes possible the
design of a process to achieve desired material properties.
Informal social time starts
at 1:30 (coffee and tea provided). Come
meet the speaker and visit with colleagues! Presentation begins at 2 pm sharp.
Note: The most current ME Seminar schedule and other OSU seminar information
is available on the Rogers Hall bulletin boards near the ME main office.
Thursday, March 23,
9 am, Rogers 226: Joseph Blomberg, OSU Department of Mechanical Engineering Masters
of Science Candidate, will speak on “Numerical Simulations of Acoustic Emissions
in Non-reinforced and Reinforced Concrete.”
Acoustic
emission testing techniques have been developed to determine the strength and
condition of both materials and structures.
The use of acoustic emission testing of steel reinforced concrete bridge
beams has driven a need for predictive numerical models. Using LS-DYNA,
a general purpose explicit finite element analysis program, surface time histories were calculated and
compared to experimental data. Smaller
LS-DYNA simulations with known analytical solutions were tested to verify
loading conditions, boundary
conditions, element size and
type. Larger models representing the
test specimens were constructed using the information gained from these smaller
models. The material properties of the
concrete test specimen were determined using measured longitudinal and Rayleigh
wave speed measurements. Qualitatively the predicted wave arrival times and
surface displacements were in good agreement with the experimental data from a
related project for both the non-reinforced and reinforced concrete
samples. The LS-DYNA simulation for
steel reinforcement concrete correctly predicted the reduction in surface
displacement in the shadow of the reinforcement bar.
Friday, March 24,
1 pm, Rogers 226: Greg Mouchka, OSU Department of Mechanical Engineering Masters
of Science Candidate, will speak on “An Experimental Study of Co-flow
Ammonia-water Desorption in an Oil-heated,
Microscale, Fractal-like Branching
Heat Exchanger.”
An
experimental study was performed in which an ammonia-water solution was
desorbed within a branching fractal-like microchannel array. The solution entered in the center of a disk, and flowed out radially until discharging in to a
gravity-driven separation chamber. Heat
was added to the ammonia-water through a thin wall,
above which flowed heat transfer oil in a separate branching fractal-like
microchannel array. Such arrays have
been shown to utilize the increased heat transfer coefficients seen in parallel
channel arrays; however, they do so
with a lower pressure drop. An experimental flow loop consisting of
ammonia-water and heat transfer oil sub-loops was instrumented along with a
test manifold for global measurements to be taken. Parameters included oil mass flow rate, oil temperature,
and strong solution flow rate, while
strong solution concentration,
temperature, and weak solution
pressure were kept constant. Calculated values of UA were shown to be as high
as 5.0 W/K, and desorber heat duties
were measured as high as 334 W. Strong solution, at 0.30 mass fraction,
was desorbed into weak solution and vapor with concentrations ranging from
0.734 to 0.964. Circulation ratios
defined as strong solution per unit desorbed vapor varied in the study from 3.4
to 20.
The
presenter will describe a method for specifying desorber operating conditions
in which a minimum desorber heat per unit vapor flow rate is determined at an
optimum circulation ratio, and will
also discuss the behavior of circulation ratio as a function of strong solution
mass flow rate, oil flow rate, and maximum temperature difference between oil and
ammonia-water solution.

ORDER OF
THE ENGINEER: RING-SIZING COMING UP. The Order of the Engineer was
initiated in the United
States in the 1970s to foster a spirit of
pride and responsibility in the engineering profession,
to bridge the gap between training and experience,
and to present to the public a visible symbol identifying the engineer. This is not a club or group with meetings or
dues. Instead,
it is a pledge, taken by graduating
engineering students, to uphold the
standards and dignity of the engineering profession and to serve humanity. Engineers who make this pledge will wear a
stainless steel ring on the pinky finger of their working hand to remind them
of their obligation to society and will attend a ring ceremony where they will
formally accept this obligation. The OSU
Order of the Engineer ring ceremony is currently scheduled for June 17th at 1pm, prior to graduation,
and ring sizing will take place between
April 10th & 14th (time TBA) in the atrium of Owen Hall. More information about the Order of the
Engineer can be found at http://www.order-of-the-engineer.org/. You
can also contact Aaron Michel, ASCE
Social Chair, with any questions: michela@onid.orst.edu

MACHINE
SHOP GUIDELINES. Sign-up sheets for the next week’s regular daytime machine-shop
hours and the Wednesday,
Thursday, and Saturday extended
hours are now posted each Friday. You can only sign up to use the lathes and
milling machines for one 2-hour block per day. You cannot block off
more than 2 hours at a time, even if
you are signing up for someone else. If,
at the end of your allotted 2 hours,
no one else has signed up for the next block of time,
you may sign up for that block of time. Also,
Senior Project, 383, Baja,
and Formula groups may only sign up for one machine per group per time
slot. This means if someone in your group is using a mill at 10 am,
the other members of your group are only allowed to use one lathe at the same
time.
BUILDING/EQUIPMENT SECURITY ALERT. The ME department buildings and
others in the college have been the recent targets of many thefts. The
state police have indicated that these recent thefts have been directed at laptop
computers, which according to them
are marketable for identify theft. In many of these cases, the thieves have spotted a laptop through an
office or lab window and have then broken it out to get at the items.
Many of these occurrences have happened in the Thursday night to Sunday
period. Please be aware of anything unusual and report it to campus
security. Do not prop doors open after hours,
and if you see doors propped open,
please report it to the ME office. Be vigilant about keeping doors locked and
secure.
