(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2019)The Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico (PUPR) has participated in SAE Aero Design for the previous years. SAE Aero Design is an international competition in which an airplane is designed by the students into one ... -
Optimization of a SDOF Cantilever Beam Piezoelectric Energy Harvester with a Lump Mass at the End Tip
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2016)With the development of low power electronics and energy harvesting technology, selfpowered systems have become a research hotspot over the last decade. The main advantage of selfpowered systems is that they require ... -
Parallel Plates Internal Heat Transfer Analysis for Electronic Cooling
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2013)Two-dimensional heat transfer analysis using the Integral Equation Method between a series of parallel plates with uniform surface heating to determine the Temperature Distribution as a Thermal Model for a Supercomputer ... -
Parametric Study of Lift-Drag Coefficients vs. Geometric Parameters of Axial Compressor/Turbine for Flow Blade Interactions
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2013)This project is a parametric study of the Lift-Drag coefficients from blade hub to tip radius of Axial Compressor/Turbine for flow blade interactions. The study contemplates the effect of Lift and Drag forces varying ... -
Preliminary Wind Turbine Assessment Using Urban Scaling Factors in Puerto Rico
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2012)Abstract - It is well known that wind energy applications are most effective in wide open areas. As shown in the literature, rather than completely discard the location of wind turbines in urban areas, the reduction in ... -

Simulating the Effects of Static Loads on a Transtibial Prosthetic’s Major Components Made of Composite Materials Modeled on SolidWorks
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2023)The purpose of this design project was to investigate the effects of weight and durability of a transtibial prothesis modeled on composite materials subjected to loads. The work focused on solid mechanics and modules of ... -
Stirling Engine Mechanism Analysis as a Function of Internal Pressure Variation
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2014)The Stirling heat engine was conceived in the in the early 1800's as an alternative to the steam engine. It is a regenerative close-cycle engine which utilizes the expansion and contraction of a working fluid at different ... -
Surface Response Modeling for Rotor-Dynamics Systems
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2014)This paper presents the way to generate an equation that does not exist, to analyze different rotor-dynamics system. With the analysis and design software, the results desired were obtained in order to be able to create ... -
Thermal Diffusivity of a Single Crystal Silicon Wafer n-type Doped with Manganese
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2012)Abstract - The thermoelectric-silicon based material is gaining enormous interest since silicon is abundant and cheap. The thermoelectric materials operate in direct conversion from heat to electrical energy with no mobile ... -
The Use of Vibration to Neutralize the Parkinson Disease Hand Tremor
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2018)Today there are some treatments available for the Parkinson Disease. Even though there is no standard treatment for the disease, because it’s progressive and has no cure, there are some technologies that help the ... -
Vertical Packaging Accumulator
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2018)The beverage manufacturing process is based on filling a product with a defined structure or flexible structure. If that product is pasteurized, there are different considerations that must be met, such as the filling ... -
