A Study of a Skirtless Hovercraft Design
Three proposed skirtless hovercraft designs were analyzed via computational fluid dynamics to ascertain their lift generation capabilities. The three designs were adaptations from William Walter's hybricraft primer and his patent for a fan driven lift generation device. Each design featured Coanda nozzles, or nozzles that utilize the Coanda effect, to redirect air flow to aid in the generation of an air curtain around a central air flow. The designs also utilized a Coanda wing as a lifting body to aid in lift generation. Each design was set at a height above ground of one foot and a radius of two feet. The craft was assumed to be axisymmetric around a central axis for a perfectly circular craft, much like a flying saucer. The craft can be divided into several parts, the core, the nozzles, the plenum chamber (for designs 2 and 3), and the wing. Flow is generated from rotor blades situated one foot above the top of the core of the craft. The nozzles are located at the edges of the craft below the wing. In designs two and three the plenum chamber is the region between the core and the wing. For each design three cases were performed where t was increased for each case. This resulted in a total of nine cases, three cases for three designs. For each case the ratio of nozzle thickness to the radius of the curved plate, t/R, was set to 0.344 and t was increased while R was calculated to maintain the ratio. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis captured the pressure data and the lift forces were calculated using a pressure differential analysis. Analysis proved that the hybricraft designs could produce positive lift. While the first design did not produce positive lift, the second and third designs managed to generate enough lift to support a craft of a maximum of 52810.24 kg. The max amount of lift produced was 5388.8 N, while the minimum positive lift generated was 3642.9 N.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Integrating Department of Defense Unmanned Aerial Systems Into the National Airspace Structure
The Department of Defense (DoD) is constantly adding to the inventory of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) across all Services. Compounded by increasing mission sets for unmanned aviation, both home and abroad, DoD requires the ability to operate UAS within and throughout the US national airspace structure (NAS). The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has the responsibility of managing, updating, and amending federal regulations for the safe operation of aerospace vehicles within the NAS. Based on safety concerns, the FAA currently limits UAS operations within the NAS through a certification of authorization process that takes up to 60 days for approval and limits flight profiles to specific parameters. While the DoD is not satisfied with this process, as it limits UAS operations within the US, the FAA will not amend current regulations until certain operating and design parameters are met. Based upon these two views, this thesis determines if the DoD and FAA are working together in an efficient manner to develop a safe way to integrate UAS into the NAS and provides recommendations for future integration. By granting the FAA the power to incorporate all facets of UAS processes, it can define terms and develop regulations for UAS integration. The FAA must also develop a UAS categorization system and start incorporating smaller UAS that lack full integration capability in order to concentrate on the larger issue of full NAS access. These recommendations provide a point of departure for the DoD and FAA to start integrating UAS into the NAS that will benefit operations in both the civil and public sector.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Hydrogen Storage in Wind Turbine Towers
Low-cost hydrogen storage is recognized as a cornerstone of a renewables-hydrogen economy. Modern utility-scale wind turbine towers are typically conical steel structures that, in addition to supporting the rotor, could be used to store hydrogen. This study has three objectives: 1) Identify the paramount considerations associated with using a wind turbine tower for hydrogen storage; 2) Propose and analyze a cost-effective design for a hydrogen-storing tower; and 3) Compare the cost of storage in hydrogen towers to the cost of storage in conventional pressure vessels. The paramount considerations associated with a hydrogen tower are corrosion (in the form of hydrogen embrittlement) and structural failure (through bursting or fatigue life degradation). Although hydrogen embrittlement (HE) requires more research, it does not appear to prohibit the use of turbine towers for hydrogen storage. Furthermore, the structural modifications required to store hydrogen in a tower are not cost prohibitive.; We discovered that hydrogen towers have a "crossover pressure" at which their critical mode of failure crosses over from fatigue to bursting. Above the crossover pressure, however, storage costs rise quickly. The most cost-effective hydrogen tower design would use substantially all of its volume for hydrogen storage and be designed at its crossover pressure.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

H2A Biomethane Model Documentation and a Case Study for Biogas From Dairy Farms
The new H2A Biomethane model was developed to estimate the levelized cost of biomethane by using the framework of the vetted original H2A models for hydrogen production and delivery. For biomethane production, biogas from sources such as dairy farms and landfills is upgraded by a cleanup process. The model also estimates the cost to compress and transport the product gas via the pipeline to export it to the natural gas grid or any other potential end-use site. Inputs include feed biogas composition and cost, required biomethane quality, cleanup equipment capital and operations and maintenance costs, process electricity usage and costs, and pipeline delivery specifications.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Preparing Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training Graduates for F-35A Training
In 2015, the USAF plans to start its first class of F-35A Initial Qualification Training (IQT) students immediately following their graduation from Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training (SUPT). This class will signify the beginning of F-35A pilot production with a steady increase to over 180 F-35A pilots per year. These pilots will require certain skills to fly the F-35A and will be somewhat different from the skills required of today's fighter pilots as we move from fourth generation F-16, F-15, and A-10 aircraft to the fifth generation F-22A and F-35A. Without a major change in either how future fighter pilots train or the aircraft they train in the USAF will not be maximizing its combat effectiveness. Therefore, the current USAF fighter pilot training system from Initial Flight Screening through SUPT, Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals (IFF), and finishing with F-35A Formal Training Unit (FTU) might need to adapt in order to prepare these students for future combat operations. This study examines what skills might be required for future students entering F-35A FTU, determine whether the current system adequately trains them and if not make recommendations on how to mitigate the shortfall.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Improved Methodology for Screening Military Pilot Applicants
This thesis concentrates on the process of selecting men for military pilot training. Past, present and possible future selection techniques are explored and analyzed. The objective is to determine how the present selection method can be improved so that the number of eliminations from pilot training, and, consequently, the cost of military pilot training may be reduced. The paper is divided into three general areas: History and Analysis of Selection Methods: The methods which have been used to select men for military pilot training from 1908 to 1966 are reviewed and analyzed. Written and apparatus aptitude tests which were developed during World War II receive detailed analysis. Investigation of Other Applicable Procedures: Several procedures are explored which might improve the selection system if implemented. These include light plane training; the Flight Instruction Program; personal interviews; psychological, psychiatric, stress and motivation testing. Conclusions: Four conclusions are evolved from investigation and analysis; a.The written aptitude test should be retained. b. Flight Instruction Program screening should be expanded to include applicants for pilot training from the U. S. Air Force Officer Training School and U.S. Navy Aviation Officer Candidate sources. c. A modern apparatus test should be developed and included in selection testing to evaluate pilot potential. d. A valid motivation test should be developed and implemented for inclusion in the battery of selection tests.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Biomass Cofiring in Coal-Fired Boilers
Cofiring biomass-for example, forestry residues such as wood chips-with coal in existing boilers is one of the easiest biomass technologies to implement in a federal facility. The current practice is to substitute biomass for up to 20% of the coal in the boiler. Cofiring has many benefits: it helps to reduce fuel costs as well as the use of landfills, and it curbs emissions of sulfur oxide, nitrogen oxide, and the greenhouse gases associated with burning fossil fuels. This Federal Technology Alert was prepared by the Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program to give federal facility managers the information they need to decide whether they should pursue biomass cofiring at their facilities.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Wind Levelized Cost of Energy
The expansion of wind power capacity in the United States has increased the demand for project development capital. In response, innovative approaches to financing wind projects have emerged and are proliferating in the U.S. renewable energy marketplace. Wind power developers and financiers have become more efficient and creative in structuring their financial relationships, and often tailor them to different investor types and objectives. As a result, two similar projects may use very different cash flows and financing arrangements, which can significantly vary the economic competitiveness of wind projects. This report assesses the relative impact of numerous financing, technical, and operating variables on the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) associated with a wind project under various financing structures in the U.S. marketplace. Under this analysis, the impacts of several financial and technical variables on the cost of wind electricity generation are first examined individually to better understand the relative importance of each. Then, analysts examine a low-cost and a high-cost financing scenario, where multiple variables are modified simultaneously.

Electrodeposition of CuIn1-xGaxSe2 Materials for Solar Cells
This report describes our scientific understanding of the CIGS materials system, solar cells, and processes. Through DOE support, the investigators developed much of the technology and device fabrication infrastructure applied to electrodeposited (ED) materials. The electrodeposition process is simple and fast, and can synthesize multinary precursors for subsequent processing into CuInxGa1-xSe2 (CIGS) thin-film absorbers for solar cells. The device fabricated by using electrodeposited CIGS precursor layers resulted in total-area conversion efficiencies up to 15.4%. As-deposited precursors are Cu-rich CIGS. Additional In, Ga, and Se (up to 50%) are added to the precursor films by physical vapor deposition (PVD) to adjust the final semiconductor film composition to about Cu0.95In0.75Ga0.25Se2. The ED device parameters are compared with those of an 18.8% PVD device.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Deploying Anaerobic Digesters
Anaerobic digestion is a biological process, where synergistic actions between bacteria are occurring at four different levels. First, hydrolysis converts a wide range of solid organic materials into sugars and amino acids. Fermenting these materials produces volatile fatty acids (VFAs). Acidogenesis forms hydrogen, carbon dioxide (CO2), and acetate from VFAs. Finally, methanogenesis produces biogas, a mixture of methane, CO2, and numerous trace elements. The key biological issues are determining the most favorable conditions for each process stage and how nonoptimal circumstances affect the process as a whole, and the governing role of hydrogen generation and consumption.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

A Vision for Environmental Sustainability: Overcoming Waste Management Challenges in Developing Countries
This book encapsulates numerous ideas for developing novel strategies toward sustainable waste management, incorporating technology transfer and capacity building for sustainable waste management, and enforcing the stringent policy framework for environmental protection from improper waste management practices. Sustainable waste management is a complex issue that is of increasing concern in developing countries. In these countries, waste management often faces significant challenges due to factors such as inadequate infrastructure, lack of funding and resources, and limited public awareness of the importance of waste management. However, there are also significant opportunities to improve waste management practices and create a more sustainable future. One of the major challenges of waste management in developing countries is inadequate infrastructure. Many developing countries lack the necessary infrastructure to properly manage waste, including landfills, recycling facilities, and waste treatment plants. This leads to significant environmental and health problems, including water pollution, soil contamination, and the spread of disease. This book is an essential resource for researchers and students studying solid waste management, waste valorization, biorefineries, biofuels/products/processes, as well as for geo-environmental engineers, biochemical/chemical engineers, and biotechnologists working in industries and government agencies, policymakers, conservationists, NGOs working for environment protection, etc. The authors are thankful to the contributors of these books for their cooperation and patience in the compilation of this task. The authors are also thankful to Springer team, for their constant support in the publication of this work.
Mathematical Modeling of the Healthy and Diseased Lung
The lung is a complex multiscale organ that serves as the primary interface between the environment and the tissues of the body. Homeostatic maintenance of lung function throughout life is essential for health. While failure of lung homeostasis underlies many of the most common chronic diseases that afflict mankind, the precise pathophysiologic mechanisms involved are often unclear. Investigative techniques such as microscopic imaging and atomic force microscopy are providing new insights into lung tissue properties at the micro scale. It nevertheless remains to be seen how this growing body of information can be integrated into a comprehensive picture of the lung. Mathematical and computational modeling has emerged as an essential tool for gaining such a holistic understanding. This book introduces the reader to the art of modeling as a means of linking lung structure to function over multiple length scales from the intracellular level to that of the whole organ, with specific attention given to the pathophysiology of a number of common lung diseases and aging.
