This project focuses on design and simulation of processes for conversion of
vegetable oil to jet fuel. There is a growing, worldwide interest in production of
renewable and sustainable alternate energy (such as biofuels, solar power and
wind energy) due to increasing concerns about global warming. While ground
transportation can use solar power, energy-dense, liquid hydrocarbons are the
only fuel option for aviation transport. Faculty and students at UT have recently
developed a novel, patent-pending reactor design for continuous production of
alkanes and aromatics from vegetable oil at high yields. While the method has
been tested for feasibility at laboratory scale, the economics and scalability of this
process is unknown. In this project, senior CHEE students will develop process
designs to assess overall costs and energy use in the production of bio-derived
jet fuel.

Engineering Technology
Design Team: Motaz G. Almaghrabi (EET), Mohammad Almomen (EET), Rajeh M. Alsubaiy (EET), Erin S. English (MET)
and Benjamin D. Schnapp (EET)
The team used piezoelectric technology to explore an option in energy harvesting.
The technology is based on converting mechanical energy produced by pressure,
movement and vibrations into electrical current. The team uses this technology to
attempt to harvest unused mechanical energy with a common bicycle and convert
that energy into usable electricity. This project also aims to explore piezoelectricity
in other applications where vibration occurs and how that energy can be brought
back to the consumer in a safe, reliable and useful way.
