Potential Scenario Ideas : nuclear fusion for electric power generation?
17 Jan 2022 | Contributor(s):: Andrew M Ross
It occurred to me that students thinking about climate change might want to take a look at electric power generation via nuclear fusion. I know very little about this area, but perhaps someone out there does? I think students would be interested in just about any of the proposed technologies:...

9-002-S-GroundWaterFlow
31 Aug 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Jeremy Cristman, Kenneth Luther, Michael Karls
The goals of this project are to compare a conceptual one-dimensional groundwater flow model to observations made in a laboratory setting, and to discuss the differences. We derive the initial groundwater flow equation, and guide students through a solution. We describe the laboratory set up and...

9-020-S-HeatDiffusion
14 Oct 2019 | | Contributor(s):: Kimberly Spayd, James Puckett
This project guides students through experimental, analytical, and numerical techniques for understanding the heat (diffusion) equation with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. In particular, students collect data and model a physical scenario in which heat energy diffuses through a long, thin...

13 Aug 2019 | | Contributor(s):: Kurt Bryan
This project uses the steady-state heat equation to model the temperature distribution in an industrial furnace used for metal production, for example, a blast furnace.The heat flow is assumed to be steady-state, so that only an elementary ordinary differential equation (ODE) is needed, and...

31 Mar 2019 | | Contributor(s):: Mitaxi Pranlal Mehta
Differential equations and Laplace transforms are an integral part of control problems in engineering systems. However a clear explanation of the relationship of Laplace transforms with the differential equation formalism is difficult to find for coupled differential equations. Here we describe...

22 Aug 2018 | | Contributor(s):: Norman Loney
We present a differential equation model for the temperature of a mercury thermometer which is sitting in a stream of water whose temperature oscillates. We suggest a solving strategy which uses Laplace Transforms.

18 Aug 2018 | | Contributor(s):: Suruchi Singh
The heat equation is an important partial differential equation (PDE) which describes the distribution of heat in a given region over time. Here we learn to solve a heat equation numerically. It is difficult to study the behavior of temperature in problems with interfaces analytically so...

1-079-S-HomeHeating
30 Jan 2018 | | Contributor(s):: Kurt Bryan
This project concerns the heating of a house. In particular, if one is going away for awhile, is it more economical to leave a house at a desired temperature or reheat it upon return? Both scenarios are analyzed in a series of exercises.
