Ken Lee - Trends in Blade Technology and Changing R&D Needs
Ken Lee - Trends in Blade Technology and Changing R&D NeedsSandia National Laboratories: Energy & Climate: Renewables
Ken Lee from Envision Energy discussed trends in blade technology and future challenges. Larger blades are being developed to increase energy production, but this introduces challenges across the entire turbine system from design to installation. Key issues include developing complex design methods, addressing production problems, simplifying testing, and solving logistics issues for larger blades. Future work requires balancing all aspects through robust but cost-effective solutions, as well as innovative approaches to fundamental challenges through increased collaboration across the wind industry.Case Study - University of Colorado Parking Garage and Field
The University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS)
needed more campus parking for the Alpine Village student
housing complex. In addition, the UCCS planning board
approved financing to expand their sporting complex.
This project served two purposes: a parking structure
that acted as a recreational field. The 1200-car, four-story
post-tensioned (PT) parking structure supported the
240 x 360 ft (73 x 110 m) artificial turf field on the roof
level.

Ryan Barnhart - Space Frame Blade TechnologySandia National Laboratories: Energy & Climate: Renewables
The document summarizes a space frame development program funded by the DOE and WEI to develop technologies for transporting large wind turbine blades. The goals were to eliminate expensive shell core materials, reduce part size for transportation, and improve quality control. The program included conceptual design, 10m subsection fabrication, and engineering for 1.5MW and 6MW blades. The conclusion was that while a space frame design was technically feasible, it offered little cost savings due to increased mass and part count compared to traditional methods.Oil Exploration and Extraction - John Herbst - v2 - 2010

La belle in the public
The Corpus Christi Museum has some artifacts from the La Belle on display but lacks important information about how the ship was located, excavated, and preserved. The museum staff were unable to answer many questions about the project. Other organizations like Texas Beyond History and the Texas State History Museum provide much better online education about the significant archaeological discovery and recovery of the La Belle shipwreck. The student's assessment found that the Corpus Christi Museum needs to improve its public outreach and education about the historic La Belle project.

Challenges in Surveying the Deep Sea using Acoustic Remote Sensing and Remote...
This document discusses the challenges of surveying the deep sea using acoustic remote sensing and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). Obtaining high resolution data at fine spatial scales is difficult due to issues with positioning systems on ROVs and the cumulative errors from different positioning sources. Precisely co-registering ROV-collected multibeam bathymetry, video, and motion data is challenging due to errors from the vessel's GPS, acoustic positioning of the ROV, uncertainties in the ROV's configuration, platform motion, timing synchronization between datasets, and data logging frequency. Overcoming these errors is important for mapping seafloor habitats and distributions of biological species at fine spatial scales.

Ocean dolphins and whales powerpoint
Whales and dolphins are mammals that live in ocean waters. They breathe air through blowholes, give birth to live babies that drink milk, and live together in family groups called pods. While whales and dolphins are closely related, they have different diets - whales have baleen plates or teeth to eat krill, plankton or fish depending on the species, while dolphins mostly eat fish and squid. Both whales and dolphins communicate through sounds and migrate long distances between feeding and breeding areas.

2014 Wind Turbine Blade Workshop- Wetzel
This document describes Wetzel Engineering's development of a modular space frame design for wind turbine blades. Some key points:
- The design aims to reduce weight, costs, and improve quality/inspection over conventional designs through a modular structure of spars and ribs connected by adhesive bonds rather than an infused shell.
- Motivations include enabling larger 100m blades for 10MW turbines through elimination of heavy core materials and large molds.
- Modularization also allows easier transportation and installation of large blades.
- Cost modeling of an 83m 6MW blade showed the space frame design could reduce costs by up to 22.5% over conventional designs.
CFD ANALYSIS OF MULTI CYLINDER SI ENGINE USING ANSYS
In present century, spark ignition engines have become a non-separable part of the society, and are used in many sectors of energy. They act as backbone for transportation systems, but, as a bitter truth they behave like a major source of air pollution. There are basically three types of emissions, emerged from a SI engine; exhaust emissions, evaporative emission, and crankcase emission, and the major pollutants emerged from these engines are CO, CO2, SOX, NOX.
Present project work aims at reducing emissions. It is a well-established fact that smooth combustion minimizes the emissions, and exhaust process contributes a lot in accomplishing smooth combustion process. In present project work, different designs of exhaust manifold for a multi cylinder spark ignition engine are optimized for reducing emissions, by evaluating back pressures and exhaust velocities. For this purpose four different designs, namely, short bend centre exit, short bend side exit, long bend centre exit with reducer, and long bend side exit with reducer are considered, and their performance is evaluated for different loading conditions.
