Transport Processes In Random Arrays Of Cylinders. I. Thermal Conduction, Ashok S. Sangani, C. Yao Jan 1988

Transport Processes In Random Arrays Of Cylinders. I. Thermal Conduction, Ashok S. Sangani, C. Yao

Ashok S. Sangani

A numerical method is developed that takes into account the many particle interactions in a rigorous manner to determine the effective thermal conductivity of Km of a composite medium consisting of parallel circular cylinders of thermal conductivity ak suspended in a matrix of conductivity k. Numerical results for Km are presented for a wide rane of a and o, the area fraction of the cylinders, after averaging over several computer-generated random arrays of cylinders. The results obtained via this exact method are compared with those of various approximate analystical methods to assess their utility in predicting Km.

Regrowth And Yield Of Alfalfa As Influenced By Wheel Traffic, Burl D. Meek, Lyle M. Carter, Richard H. Garber, Eric A. Rechel, William R. Detar Jan 1983

Regrowth And Yield Of Alfalfa As Influenced By Wheel Traffic, Burl D. Meek, Lyle M. Carter, Richard H. Garber, Eric A. Rechel, William R. Detar

William R DeTar

Wheel traffic from equipment used to harvest alfalfa reduces yields because of crown damage and soil compaction. As much as 70% of the soil surface may receive wheel traffic during a single harvest.


Travel Time For Chemicals In An Irrigation System, William R. Detar Jan 1983

Travel Time For Chemicals In An Irrigation System, William R. Detar

William R DeTar

When a chemical is injected into an irrigation system, the length of time it takes to reach the end of the longest path can have a large effect on the uniformity of distribution of the chemical in the field. In trickle irrigation systems, the time to travel this path is also the minimum time before the end of the cycle at which system maintenance chemicals should be injected. In the case where wastewater is being applied to land through an irrigation system or where an injected chemical would cause damage to the piping if it were to remain in the …


Trickle Irrigation Vs. No-Irrigation Of Five Horticultural Crops In Pennsylvania, William R. Detar, David F. Kibler, D. W. Grenoble, R. Daniels, R. H. Cole Jan 1983

Trickle Irrigation Vs. No-Irrigation Of Five Horticultural Crops In Pennsylvania, William R. Detar, David F. Kibler, D. W. Grenoble, R. Daniels, R. H. Cole

William R DeTar

IN humid regions, the question of whether one should irrigate often overshadows problems such as selecting the proper system or scheduling procedure. To show whether it pays to irrigate by running irrigation experiments in the field is a long, expensive process. It would take perhaps five to ten years to determine significant relationships. The approach used in this project was to set up a computer model relating crop yields to weather data and moisture stress, and then verify the model at a few points using field experiments. This first report on the project includes only the field procedures and yields.


The Removal Of Fluorine From Wet Process Phosphoric Acid, Fathi Habashi Jan 1983

The Removal Of Fluorine From Wet Process Phosphoric Acid, Fathi Habashi

Fathi Habashi

Fluorine (and silicon) can be removed from technical phosphoric acid (30% P205) and recovered quantitatively as a by-product by adding a sodium or a potassium salt preferably the carbonate and boiling for a few minutes. The corresponding fluorosilicate precipitate, e.g. 2Na+ + SiF6- → Na2SiF6 can be separated by filtration. If this procedure is followed, no precipitation will take place in the evaporators during concentration of acid to 40% P2O5.

Modified Graphical Determination Of Submain Size, William R. Detar Jan 1980

Modified Graphical Determination Of Submain Size, William R. Detar

William R DeTar

THE pressure distribution in a multiple-outlet tapered pipe descending a non-uniform slope was determined graphically by DeTar (1975). His procedure enabled one to select the proper pipe size and the location for changes in pipe size. A table of multipliers was a key element in the procedure. This new article presents a simplified method for obtaining these multipliers for a variety of pipe types and for any number of outlets. The procedure involves the use of the correction factor commonly used in sprinkler lateral design; a table of three correction factors is given.


Rate Of Intake And Stream Advance For Liquid Dairy Manure In Furrows, William R. Detar Jan 1980

Rate Of Intake And Stream Advance For Liquid Dairy Manure In Furrows, William R. Detar

William R DeTar

FIVE different concentrations of very dilute dairy manure were run down 18 furrows in a sandy loam soil at rates of 200, 400, and 600 mL/min. The resulting intake rates were related to the total solids concentration of the liquid manure and the permeability of the soil. An equation is presented that fits well all of the stream advance curves. An example design problem shows how to determine the proper length of furrow and the duration of each irrigation.


Trickle Irrigation In The Eastern United States, David R. Ross, C. W. Reynolds, R. A. Parsons, E. D. Markwardt, William R. Detar Jan 1980

Trickle Irrigation In The Eastern United States, David R. Ross, C. W. Reynolds, R. A. Parsons, E. D. Markwardt, William R. Detar

William R DeTar

A cooperative extension manual by the Northeast Regional Agricultural Engineering Service. Trickle or drip irrigation is a method of slowly applying small amounts of water to part of the plant root zone. Water is applied on a frequent, often daily, basis to prevent moisture stress in the plant by maintaining favorable moisture conditions. With adequate soil moisture, 25% of the root system of a fruit tree can supply enough water to prevent moisture stress. Trickle irrigation has been installed mainly in areas that are arid and have high labor costs. The system works well with water that is highly saline …


Infiltration Of Liquid Dairy Manure Into Soil, William R. Detar Jan 1979

Infiltration Of Liquid Dairy Manure Into Soil, William R. Detar

William R DeTar

BASIN infiltrometers and double-ring infiltrometers were used on the subsoil of four different soils to determine the infiltration rate of various concentrations of liquid dairy manure. Raw manure was diluted with water by ratios varying from 3:1 to 50:1. The liquid used for most of the tests did not contain the heavy fibers that tend to settle out immediately after mixing. Total solids, St, was the primary measure of concentration, and steady-state infiltration with water, Iw, was the indicator used for the type of soil. It was found that the infiltration rate was proportional to Iw^0.11st^-.67 at one week. All …

Information Retrieval Through Man-Machine Dialogue., Robert N. Oddy Jan 1977

Information Retrieval Through Man-Machine Dialogue., Robert N. Oddy

Robert Oddy

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new method of information retrieval by man-machine interaction. The dialogue supported has more symmetry than most interactive computer systems in that the machine forms an image (rather as a man does) of the view of the human enquirer, without requiring him to ask a precise question, and responds with references according to its image. Initial tests with a prototype program indicate that a performance equal to that obtainable from a more conventional on-line retrieval system is possible without obliging the user to formulate his query.


Graphic Determination Of Sub-Main Pipe Size For Solid-Set Sprinkler Irrigation On Steep, Non-Uniform Slopes, William R. Detar Jan 1975

Graphic Determination Of Sub-Main Pipe Size For Solid-Set Sprinkler Irrigation On Steep, Non-Uniform Slopes, William R. Detar

William R DeTar

The selection of the proper pipe size for sub-mains on a solid-set sprinkler system can be a tedious operation for hillside systems, especially if the slopes are not uniform. A typical field situation is where a main across the upper end of the field feeds several sub-mains that descend a steep, irregular slope. These sub-mains feed short laterals that lead off to both sides at regular intervals. The system is fairly common for hillside groves of oranges or avocadoes, and is also used for orchards and vineyards on rolling land. The graphical method presented here is a simplified approach for …

Reference Retrieval Based On User Induced Dynamic Clustering., Robert N. Oddy Dec 1974

Reference Retrieval Based On User Induced Dynamic Clustering., Robert N. Oddy

Robert Oddy

The problem of mechanically retrieving references to documents, as a first step to fulfilling the information need of a researcher, is tackled through the design of an interactive computer program. A view of reference retrieval is presented which embraces the browsing activity. In fact, browsing is considered important and regarded as ubiquitous. Thus, for successful retrieval (in many circumstances), a device which permits conversation is needed. Approaches to automatic (delegated) retrieval are surveyed, as are on-line systems which support interaction. This type of interaction usually consists of iteration, under the user's control, in the query formulation process. A program has …

Uran In Phosphaten. Herkunft Und Industrielle Gewinnung, Fathi Habashi Oct 1970

Uran In Phosphaten. Herkunft Und Industrielle Gewinnung, Fathi Habashi

Fathi Habashi

Phosphate rock is the major source of phosphorus in nature. It exists mainly in the form of hydroxy and fluorapatite or a mixture of both. About 100 million tons of rock are treated annually mainly for the production of fertilizers and a minor amount is used in the detergent and food industries. Phosphate rock is of two types: Sedimentary, this represents about 90% of the world reserves and is characterized by containing about 100 ppm uranium and minor amounts of rare earths. An example of this type is in Florida, North Africa, and the Middle East. Igneous, this represents the …


Acoustically Forced Vibrations Of Greenhouse Tomato Blossoms To Induce Pollination., William R. Detar Jan 1968

Acoustically Forced Vibrations Of Greenhouse Tomato Blossoms To Induce Pollination., William R. Detar

William R DeTar

The production of tomatoes in the greenhouse requires a great deal of manual labor, one of the largest laborconsuming operations being pollination. Although tomatoes are considered selfpollinating (that is, the bloom containing both the male and female parts), if left to themselves, only about 30 percent of the blooms normally set fruit. Greenhouse growers have found that my mechanically agitating the bloom, a satisfactory set can usually be obtained. A study was initiated to investigate the effects of sound on the pollination of greenhouse tomatoes. The objective was to find the natural vibration frequency of the blossom and to determine …
