Steady State Fluidics: The Static Matching Of Fluidic Amplifiers And Loads, Frank J. Redd Aug 1975

Steady State Fluidics: The Static Matching Of Fluidic Amplifiers And Loads, Frank J. Redd

Theses and Dissertations

"Fluidics" is the title applied to a relatively new technology which is concerned with the control of fluid power and the processing of information through the use of the fluid mechanical properties of the fluid medium itself. The absence of moving parts and the relatively low sensitivity to enviromental conditions suggest the probability that fluidic systems will prove to be faster and more reliable than the mechanically controlled (valves, diaphragms, springs, etc.) fluid systems which they are designed to replace.


Alcohol Assisted Hydrocarbon Fuels: A Comparison Of Exhaust Emissions, Power Output And Fuel Consumption Using Static And Dynamic Engine Test Facilities, Dwight J. Bushnell Apr 1975

Alcohol Assisted Hydrocarbon Fuels: A Comparison Of Exhaust Emissions, Power Output And Fuel Consumption Using Static And Dynamic Engine Test Facilities, Dwight J. Bushnell

Theses and Dissertations

America’s energy crunch— something new for a country that has been used to great affluence. America’s smog— an eye stinging, lung burning situation which the Environmental Protection Agency has "promised" to rectify. These are two outstanding problems that face the engineer and scientist of today. The end of the era of cheap gasoline has brought the beginnings of a quiet revolution to Detroit: an improvement in the efficiency, economy and emission level of the American automobile. Word has penetrated to the automotive engineers that the emissions level, fuel economy and automobile safety are the prime design considerations for the automobile …
