Transient Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient For Injection Into Rigid Vessel, James Edward Steiger
Transient Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient For Injection Into Rigid Vessel, James Edward Steiger
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to develop and demonstrate a method for experimentally determining the convective heat transfer in a rigid vessel while air was being injected. The heat transfer took place between the air in the pressurized vessel and the surrounding walls which were maintained at a temperature of 32 F. with a circulating ice water bath. The study considers the effects of injection geometry and injection flow rate on the heat transfer process. The problem of heat transfer after injection has been considered by Means (1), and was responsible for establishing this study. The experimental technique used …
A Computer Simulation Of A Partial Venous System Of A Human Lower Extremity, David C. Smith
A Computer Simulation Of A Partial Venous System Of A Human Lower Extremity, David C. Smith
Theses and Dissertations
The human body is truly a fascinating and complex creation of our Maker. Because of the complexity and variability, many of its workings were little known until recent years. Some of the more amazing facts of the circulatory system follow. If the individual blood vessels of a single adult, i.e., artery, arteriole capillary, venule and vein, were laid end to end, they would extend more than 60,000 miles. For the average adult, the heart beats 70 times per minute; for the well-conditioned athlete, 50-60 beats per minute; and for the extraordinary athlete, as few as 37 times per minute. The …
Conduction Error In Thermocouples Embedded In Low Conductivity Material, Tumkur G. Nagaraju
Conduction Error In Thermocouples Embedded In Low Conductivity Material, Tumkur G. Nagaraju
Theses and Dissertations
Thermocouples are generally used as devices to determine the internal temperature of any material. The purpose of the temperature measuring device is to measure the temperature which would exist at some known location if the device were not present. The thermocouples are embedded in the material in order to study the temperature-time history of the point of location. The presence of the thermocouple induces error in the temperature measured. This error becomes significant if heat is conducted into or away from the point of measurement by the sensor itself, or if the sensor insulates the point. This would result from …

A Study In The Design And Development Of A Baseball Pitching Machine, Neal M. Lundwall
Theses and Dissertations
Throughout history man has had the need of services which require great skill or tremendous strength or delicate consistency on the part of those who perform. Much of the time he has turned to the machine to accomplish these requirements.
Transition From Laminar To Turbulent Flow For A Two-Phase Mixture, Mohammed Sharief Qureshi
Transition From Laminar To Turbulent Flow For A Two-Phase Mixture, Mohammed Sharief Qureshi
Theses and Dissertations
A phase is simply one of the states of matter. Multiphase flow is the simultaneous flow of several phases. Two-phase flow is the simplest case of multiphase flow.
History Of Utah's Salt Industry 1847-1970, John L. Clark
History Of Utah's Salt Industry 1847-1970, John L. Clark
Theses and Dissertations
Utah salt makers have extracted salt from three sources, the principal of these being brine from Great Salt Lake. Other sources are saline beds in Great Salt Lake Desert and subterranean halite formations in central Utah.
This study traces the development of methods used to recover and refine salt by the industry, in general, and by specific companies. It provides brief, historical sketches of the major corporations and the economic, legal, and environmental factors affecting their growth.
Utah produces about 1 per cent of the nation's salt, exporting over half of it from the state. The major factors limiting the …
