Abstract:
Unit representation in the Transducer Electronic Data Sheet (TEDS) specified in the IEEE 1451 standards is a binary sequence of 10 octets that encode the physical units as a product of the seven Système International base units, plus radian and steradian, each raised to a rational power in addition to an unsigned integer indicating the structure of the unit. While this representation seems trivial, manual compilation is prone to be erroneous and impractical, especially for complex units used in the hydroclimatology field. Hence, the development of a software application to automatically generate this vector represents a critical step to both reduce work load and automate unit conversion. Existing conversion packages for manipulating units fall short in many ways and also suffer from not integrating with a units controlled vocabulary. We developed HydroUnits (Python-based) to compute the vectorial representation for the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Sciences, Inc's Observations Data Model units for use in an IEEE 1451.0-based TEDS generator. In addition, the package has been extended to support dimensional analysis, unit reduction and unit conversion and contains provision to convert time series data between different unit systems.

Abstract:
HighlightsA miniaturized thermochemical conversion system has been designed, manufactured, and optimized.Five laboratories can be performed with the system, incorporating heat transfer and reaction engineering phenomena.Educational materials to deploy the system in the classroom, including worksheets and solutions, are provided.Pyrolysis, combustion, and gasification exercises are shown with reaction visualization and product validation.Abstract. We describe a simple new miniaturized thermochemical module (MTM). Special considerations are needed to make the MTM useful not only for studying biomass conversion but also for providing safe classroom learning opportunities for heat and mass transfer and heterogeneous reaction engineering students and for training new researchers. The MTM consists of a quartz reactor wrapped with a Kanthal resistance wire and a silvered concentric annular glass shield for retaining thermal energy, placed in a protective Plexiglas viewing case. Safety is considered for use by new research trainees and within the classroom. We demonstrate MTM usage through five laboratory exercises beginning with an experimental design to determine operating modes to establish thermochemical conversion temperatures. Heat transfer skills are developed with the aid of a first-order differential heat transfer model and fractional factorial design. Thermochemical conversion is demonstrated and products are validated for pyrolysis, gasification, and combustion. The combustion laboratory also offers significant insight into reaction versus mass transfer-controlled regimes and for modeling heat transfer. Discussion is provided on the utility of the system for demonstrating heat transfer, kinetic, and mass transfer concepts, with applications across the engineering curriculum. Keywords: Combustion, Education, Gasification, Heat transfer modeling, Miniature thermochemical module, Pyrolysis.

Abstract:
Background: The importance of near-normal blood glucose in the immediate postoperative period is generally accepted and is best achieved in the perioperative period with a constant intravenous (IV) infusion of insulin. This requires intensive nursing only achievable in an intensive care unit (ICU) setting. Glucose management after transfer to a regular nursing floor (RNF) has not been studied systematically. In August 2006, the Cleveland Clinic began using long-acting insulin glargine as the insulin infusion was terminated in the ICU. Methods: This prospective analysis examined all patients receiving IV insulin infusion after cardiothoracic surgery in a 1 month period. The analyses evaluated the safety and efficacy of a protocol using a transition to subcutaneous insulin glargine of 50% of the calculated 24 h requirement at the end of the ICU insulin infusion protocol in preparation for transfer to the RNF. Results: Only 1 patient in 99 developed hypoglycemia, and no patient suffered severe hypoglycemia (glucose < 40 mg/dl), while the majority (70%) had euglycemia (glucose between 70 and 150 mg/dl). Conclusions: This approach was both safe—as there was very little hypoglycemia (1 patient in 99)—and effective, as blood sugar was well controlled in most subjects. Efficacy for achieving euglycemia was 70%. Efficacy was likely reduced because of the upper limit of insulin glargine dosage imposed by some providers as a safety consideration. Although there was a physician option to override, the maximum protocol dose of 30 U was rarely exceeded, leading to inadequate dosing in some subjects who required high insulin infusion rates in the ICU.

Abstract:
This dissertation describes the design and testing of a model of the Synchronization and Video Conversion Unit (SVCU), a subsystem of the tracking radar (TR) at Denel Overberg Test Range (OTR). The SVCU synchronizes all the radar sub-systems and also converts the returned RF target signals to digital numbers. The technology within the SVCU is outdated and spares are scarce if not unattainable. This study forms the first phase of the development of a new SVCU and will determine the specifications of the hardware needed to build the replacement. Models of the transmit and receive chain of the radar were first developed in SystemVueTM. A comprehensive literature review was then done, yielding an accurate model of the current SVCU. The radar model was run, with simulated target and scene parameters, and its output fed into the SVCU model. The output of the SVCU was then processed by a CFAR detector and gated tracking algorithms implemented in MathLang and Python. The simulated target was correctly identified in the range-Doppler plane. The tracking gates (used to measure range and Doppler) were then corrupted with jitter, rise- time and offsets. A statistical analysis was done on the effect of these impurities on the radar measurements. A new SVCU architecture, utilizing high speed ADCs and digital integrators, was then tested. The effects of non-linearities (DNL and INL) in the ADC and phase noise on the ADC sample clock on the radar measurements were analysed. The jitter on the transmit sync (TX), the ADC sample clock and tracking gates were found to be the most critical aspects of the SVCU. To meet the specified measurement accuracy of the radar, the root-sum-square of the jitter on these syncs (jitter budget) must not exceed 30 nanoseconds. A case study was then done to determine the jitter budget achievable in an FPGA-centric SVCU design. The study concluded that a jitter budget of 30 ns is achievable. Moreover, in an FPGA based design the jitter introduced by the interface sending the TX sync from the FPGA (SVCU) to the transmitter assembly will, almost entirely, determine the range accuracy of the TR. From these findings, a new SVCU, based on the RHINO board from the UCT RRSG, was recommended and the future work outlined.

Abstract:
This dissertation discusses the re-development of a subsystem of the tracking radar (TR) at Denel Overberg Test Range (OTR), defined as the Synchronisation and Video Conversion Unit (SVCU). The SVCU performs the task of baseband video processing, generation of all synchronisation triggers, and timing within the TR. The report is based on the Research and Design (R&D) project conducted at Denel OTR and built on the previous study where an SVCU model was designed and tested in SystemVue. A comprehensive measurement and analysis of all functions was first conducted on all (identical) TRs of Denel OTR to verify against the limited literature that is available relating to the SVCU. Various anomalies were discovered between the design specification documents and measured values. Modifications made to functions in the SVCU as a result of development done on other subunits of the TR and not documented were also discovered. A comprehensively revised design specification and high-level description for the SVCU was then generated. A new SVCU architecture was specified to improve the current tasks performed by various discrete analogue and digital components, Single-Board Microcontroller and data bus interfaces using commercial off the shelf (COTS) hardware. A prototype was built on the National Instruments (NI) PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation Express (PXIe) platform, utilising high-speed ADCs and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) modules. All functions of the SVCU were modelled and implemented on these modules using LabVIEW and LabVIEW FPGA software. Fractional Decimators were designed to meet the sample resolution requirement of the range gates (used for range and Doppler measurement). Custom functions were written to integrate samples to increase SNR and apply a correction for errors carried over during the I/Q demodulation. The jitter on the synchronisation pulse responsible for RF energy transmission (TX), the ADC sample clock, and triggers signals that need to travel over excessively long transmission lines used for calibration were found to be the most critical aspects of the SVCU. The rootsum- square of all the jitter on these synchronisation pulses was calculated to ensure that the specified measurement accuracy of the TR is satisfied. Based on these findings, the PXIe based SVCU is recommended for deployment. Further development of other subunits for the TR receiver on the current platform is recommended, and an outline for future work is provided.

The Space Sensing & Vehicle Control Branch of the Air Force Research Laboratory and Voss Scientific, Albuquerque, NM, are developing an advanced PC and COTS-based satellite telemetry processing, analysis and display system known as the PC-Satellite Telemetry Server (PC-STS). This program grew out of a need to develop less expensive, more capable, more flexible, and expandable solutions to the satellite telemetry analysis requirements of the Air Force. Any new system must employ industry standard, open architecture, network and database protocols allowing for easy growth and migration to new technologies, as they become available. Thus, the PC-STS will run on standard personal computers and the Windows NT operating system. The focus of this work and this paper is the Telemetry Server component, and in particular, the custom-built decommutation board. The decommution board will be capable of processing frame formatted and CCSDS packet telemetry. It will be capable of fully decommutating telemetry data, converting raw data to engineering units, and providing this data to the Telemetry Server host. Time tagged engineering units or minor frames of telemetry will be transmitted to the Telemetry Server processor via on-board memory buffers. The decom board uses the PCI bus, programmable DSPs, considerable on-board memory, and a SCSI bus for local archiving. This paper presents the general architecture of the PC-STS, and discusses specific design considerations. These include trade-offs made during the design of the board’s hardware and software, operational specifications, and graphical user interfaces to program, monitor, and control the board.

One of the requirements resulting from mounting pressure on flight test schedules is the reduction of time needed for data analysis, in pursuit of shorter test cycles. This requirement has ramifications such as the demand for record and processing of not just raw measurement data but also of data converted to engineering units in real time, as well as for an optimized use of the bandwidth available for telemetry downlink and ultimately for shortening the duration of procedures intended to disseminate pre-selected recorded data among different analysis groups on ground. A promising way to successfully address these needs consists in implementing more CPU-intelligence and processing power directly on the on-board flight test equipment. This provides the ability to process complex data in real time. For instance, data acquired at different hardware interfaces (which may be compliant with different standards) can be directly converted to more easy-to-handle engineering units. This leads to a faster extraction and analysis of the actual data contents of the on-board signals and busses. Another central goal is the efficient use of the available bandwidth for telemetry. Real-time data reduction via intelligent filtering is one approach to achieve this challenging objective. The data filtering process should be performed simultaneously on an all-data-capture recording and the user should be able to easily select the interesting data without building PCM formats on board nor to carry out decommutation on ground. This data selection should be as easy as possible for the user, and the on-board FTI devices should generate a seamless and transparent data transmission, making a quick data analysis viable. On-board data processing and filtering has the potential to become the future main path to handle the challenge of FTI data acquisition and analysis in a more comfortable and effective way.

Historically, different aspects of the configuration of an airborne instrumentation system were specified in a variety of different software applications. Instrumentation setup software handled the definition of measurements and PCM Formats while separate applications handled pre-flight checkout, calibration and post-flight data analysis. This led to the manual entry of the same data multiple times. Industry standards such as TMATS strive to address this problem by creating a data-interchange format for passing setup information from one application to another. However, a better alternative is to input all of the relevant setup information about the sensor and the measurement when it is initially created in the instrumentation vendor’s software. Furthermore, an additional performance enhancement can be achieved by adding the ability to perform sensor calibration and engineering unit conversions to pre-flight data visualization software that is tightly coupled with the instrumentation setup software. All of the setup information can then be transferred to the ground station for post-flight processing and data reduction. Detailed reports can also be generated for each measurement. This paper describes the flow of data through an integrated airborne instrumentation setup application that allows sensors and measurements to be defined, acquired, calibrated and converted from raw counts to engineering units. The process of performing a sensor calibration, configuring engineering unit conversions, and importing calibration and transducer data sheets will also be discussed.

Dryden real-time flight simulators encompass the simulation of pulse code modulation (PCM) telemetry signals. This paper presents a new method whereby the calibration polynomial (from first to sixth order), representing the conversion from counts to engineering units (EU), is numerically inverted in real time. The result is less than onecount error for valid EU inputs. The Newton-Raphson method is used to numerically invert the polynomial. A reverse linear interpolation between the EU limits is used to obtain an initial value for the desired telemetry count. The method presented here is not new. What is new is how classical numerical techniques are optimized to take advantage of modern computer power to perform the desired calculations in real time. This technique makes the method simple to understand and implement. There are no interpolation tables to store in memory as in traditional methods. The NASA F-15 simulation converts and transmits over 1000 parameters at 80 times/sec. This paper presents algorithm development, FORTRAN code, and performance results.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The power conversion unit of a large solar chimney power plant converts the fluid power, first into mechanical power, and then into electrical power. In this dissertation a tool is developed to determine the layout and the number of turbines of the solar chimney power conversion unit providing the lowest cost of electricity. First, the history of the solar chimney concept and the related fields of research are presented. Potential features and configurations of the power conversion unit are introduced, and it is shown how the solar chimney power conversion unit compares to those of other applications. An outline of the dissertation is given, and its potential impact is discussed. An analytical turbine model is developed. Several modelling approaches and the performance of single rotor and counter rotating turbine layouts are compared. Preliminary turbine designs are investigated, experimentally and numerically. The main aim of the experimental investigation is to verify the applicability of the loss model used in the analytical turbine model. The aim of the numerical investigation is to evaluate a commercial software package as a tool in context with solar chimney turbines. For each component of the power conversion unit an analytical performance model is introduced. Using these models, the single vertical axis, multiple vertical axis and multiple horizontal axis turbine configurations are compared from an efficiency and energy yield point of view, and the impact of the various losses on the overall performance is highlighted. A detailed cost model for the power conversion unit is also presented. To optimize for cost of electricity this cost model is then linked to the performance models, and the resulting optimization scheme is applied to several plant configurations. It is shown that for a large solar chimney power plant the power conversion unit providing minimal cost of electricity consists of multiple horizontal axis turbines using a single rotor layout including inlet guide vanes.

Abstract:
Ocean energy research has grown in popularity in the past decade and has produced various designs for wave energy extraction. This thesis focuses on the performance analysis of a uni-directional impulse turbine for wave energy conversion. Uni-directional impulse turbines can produce uni-directional rotation in bi-directional flow, which makes it ideal for wave energy extraction as the motion of ocean waves are inherently bi-directional. This impulse turbine is currently in use in four of the world's Oscillating Wave Columns (OWC). Current research to date has documented the performance of the turbine but little research has been completed to understand the flow physics in the turbine channel. An analytical model and computational fluid dynamic simulations are used with reference to experimental results found in the literature to develop accurate models of the turbine performance. To carry out the numerical computations various turbulence models are employed and compared. The comparisons indicate that a low Reynolds number Yang-shih K-Epsilon turbulence model is the most computationally efficient while providing accurate results. Additionally, analyses of the losses in the turbine are isolated and documented. Results indicate that large separation regions occur on the turbine blades which drastically affect the torque created by the turbine, the location of flow separation is documented and compared among various flow regimes. The model and simulations show good agreement with the experimental results and the two proposed solutions enhance the performance of the turbine showing an approximate 10% increase in efficiency based on simulation results.

Abstract:
La demande énergétique mondiale en constante augmentation, l'instabilité et l'incertitude du prix des énergies fossiles, la libéralisation du marché électrique et une conscience environnementale renforcée durant ces dernières années ont renouvelé l'intérêt du développement des énergies renouvelables. Parmi elles, l'énergie éolienne détient une situation privilégiée grâce à son progrès technologique et à ses coûts associés comparativement faibles. Dans ce contexte, l'apport envisagé avec ce travail de thèse est de collaborer à la conception optimale d'un système de production éolien isolé de petite taille, pour les sites où l'extension du réseau est difficile ou trop coûteuse. Un outil d'optimisation pour un système de génération éolien chargeur de batterie est proposé et validé. Le système de puissance est composé d'une quantité minimale d'éléments. De cette façon, la simplicité du système permet de réduire les efforts de maintenance et d'augmenter sa fiabilité à un coût minimal. Lorsqu'une production plus élevée est désirée, avec les mêmes moyens de production (turbine et générateur), une structure qui inclut un convertisseur électronique de puissance commandé par MLI est utile. Un tel système est étudié et vérifié par simulation numérique. Ce système ainsi modifié permet un transfert de puissance optimal, ce qui augmente la production d'énergie et peut ainsi réduire son coût. Une méthode d'estimation des pertes dans les convertisseurs statiques est aussi proposée et validée. Elle est utilisée pour calculer de façon plus précise l'énergie non fournie d'un système de génération hybride renouvelable installé en site isolé.
