Analytical And Experimental Investigation Of Pumped Solar Hot Water Systems, Jeffrey B. Pearce
Analytical And Experimental Investigation Of Pumped Solar Hot Water Systems, Jeffrey B. Pearce
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
A transient computer model of a forced circulation solar hot water system has been developed. The model allows for capacitance effects by solving the energy balances on a four node model of the solar collector. The tank model is designed to include the presence of an auxiliary heater and to allow for the nonideal condition of load drawoff. Five tests were done to validate the computer model. These tests include a comparison of the computer simulation with experimental data and a model available in the literature. The results of these tests indicate that the computer model is able to predict …

A Computer Graphics Analysis Of A Freeway Merge Control System, Thomas Alan Risher
A Computer Graphics Analysis Of A Freeway Merge Control System, Thomas Alan Risher
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
In 1975, C.S. Bauer completed a doctoral dissertation at the University of Florida which treated the Green Band Merging Control System on I-75 in Tampa, Florida. In this work, Bauer suggested the possibility for the use of computer graphics as a toll for analysis of the bands generated by the Green Band Control System Simulation developed in his dissertation. The use of computer generated movies of the bands displayed to ramp drivers by the system allows the comparison of various band control strategies without the need for field implementation and testing. With the goal of producing such films in mind, …

System Safety In Rail Transportation, Quave Norvell Smith
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
This thesis "System Safety in Rail Transportation," is addressed to an individual having a basic technical background but little or no experience in this field. The thesis discusses the need for and the benefits to be obtained by using system safety techniques and principles in the railroad industry. Examples of typical railroad accidents are reviewed, and it is pointed out that analysis of the hazards in the railroad industry prior to the accidents would have identified problems which eventually resulted in the accidents. The system safety approach, which was developed for use in the aerospace and aviation fields, has proved …

A Study Of Differences In Vertical Phosphorus Profiles Within The Sediments Of Selected Florida Lakes As Related To Trophic Dynamics, Edgar Allen Stewart Iii
A Study Of Differences In Vertical Phosphorus Profiles Within The Sediments Of Selected Florida Lakes As Related To Trophic Dynamics, Edgar Allen Stewart Iii
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Several Florida lakes with different documented trophic state indices were selected for sediment analysis. Vertical sections of the sediment were taken at depths of .1, .5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 and l5 centimeters below the surface of the sediment-water interface. Total Phosphorus analysis was done on each section. The profile presented was then evaluated and was found that the profiles best fit the equation Y = X/ (A + BX), where Y is the Phosphorus Concentration in ppm and X is the sediment depth in cm. Correlation between the trophic state and the profiles characteristics are presented. …

A Comparative Study Of Forecasting Techniques For The Us Air Force Medical Material Management System, Phillip John Van Ess
A Comparative Study Of Forecasting Techniques For The Us Air Force Medical Material Management System, Phillip John Van Ess
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
A computer simulation experiment was conducted to evaluate and compare five individual forecasting models across nine different demand patterns. The models were based on the Medical Materiel Management System used by the US Air Force hospitals. Results indicated the best model varied depending on the demand pattern, the safety stock level, the noise level of the demand pattern, and the measure of forecast error. Across all demand patterns, exponential smoothing and 12-month moving average were best for the short term forecast used by the system, regardless of noise level in the demand patterns. Analysis of models within a single demand …

Theory Of Eddy Currents For Nondestructive Testing, Craig Charles Biddle
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Eddy current inspection methods are used extensively in industry for the nondestructive testing of a wide variety of materials and product applications. The general theory of eddy current inspection is described. Equations defining the depth of penetration are derived from Maxwell's equations. Signal analysis methods are described using coil impedance diagrams. The impedance diagrams for a number of inspection applications are presented. A discussion of the techniques for theoretical calculation of the impedance of a coil is described. Typical coil configurations and instrumentation techniques are discussed.
Properties Of A Dynamic Measure Of Industrial Concentration, Thomas Edward Billings
Properties Of A Dynamic Measure Of Industrial Concentration, Thomas Edward Billings
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Several commonly used concentration measures are defined and discussed. The Grossack Model of Permanent Industrial Concentration and its three concentration indices are explained. Monte Carlo Techniques are used to generate synthetic data which is then used to compute theoretical values of the Grossack Model Indices. Values of other commonly used concentration indices are computed for comparison purposed. The Grossack Model Indices are then subjected to a variety of statistical tests. The results of these tests are presented and evaluated and a conclusion is drawn.

A Differential Sample And Hold Technique That Rejects Offset Voltages, John Adams Davis
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
This research report discussed modern sample and hold theory and techniques and then uses them to develop a new differential sampling concept to solve a real engineering problem, involving the synchronous demodulation of three amplitude modulated direction cosine signals in an unusual noise environment. The problem is discussed in detail and a detailed circuit design solution given. Additionally, the results of a breadboard test of the concept is given that shows the circuit to have a 60dB offset voltage rejection ratio.

Thermal Control Of An Electronic Enclosure Utilizing A Vapor Chamber, Michael L. Dougherty
Thermal Control Of An Electronic Enclosure Utilizing A Vapor Chamber, Michael L. Dougherty
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
This thesis addresses the problem of extracting heat from sealed electronic enclosures. Typical industry practice is to use various air-to-air and air-to-liquid heat exchangers. These techniques are known to require costly custom designs. This thesis points out how one can apply heat pipe technology in the form of a vapor chamber to solve this type of problem. The details on the design and testing of two prototype vapor chambers are cited. Included in the text are typical industrial applications that require sealed enclosures to protect their associated electronic control hardware. Also mentioned is some historical background on heat pipes.

Sewer System Design For Camp Challenge And Determination Of Per Capita Wastewater Flows From Vacation Facilities, William C. Goucher
Sewer System Design For Camp Challenge And Determination Of Per Capita Wastewater Flows From Vacation Facilities, William C. Goucher
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
A sewer system was designed for Camp Challenge of the Florida Easter Seal Society, in Mount Plymouth, Florida, of polyvinyl chloride piping. Invert elevations were tabulized and necessary fittings determined for the system. Cost estimates were also included. The sewers were designed on a per fixture basis so as not to overdesign using per capita flow rates. A literature and records search was conducted to obtain design and actual wastewater flow quantities in gallons per capita per day (gpcd). Actual flows determined from 4 camps and 11 travel trailer parks gave average values of 39 and 33 gpcd, respectively, and …
