Electrical Analogue Computer For The Heat Pump, James Edward Goff

Masters Theses

(Taken from the Summary)

Because of the complex behavior of a cylindrical heat source-sink under intermittent operating conditions, analysis by analytical means is very difficult. Therefore an electrical analogy computer consisting of a distributed resistance capacitance model was designed and built. It was shown analytically that the behavior of this computer model was the same as that of the heat system. That the model was a true analogy is verified by the fact that data obtained from this model could be used to check certain heat flow problems previously solved by analytical means. Data were obtained for a …

A Survey Of Acidity In Drainage Waters And The Condition Of Highway Drainage Installations, James H. Havens, James L. Young Jr., Harvey J. Field Jr.

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Every creek gulley and raw interrupted by roadway fills and embankments must be provided with an adequate drainage conduit under the pavement. If the natural drainage is impeded or the conduit is not functioning properly, impounded water over-runs the pavement, seeps through the fill, and eventually disintegrates the section or reduces its stability. The topography in Kentucky, through varied sectionally, requires on the average, one cross-drain for every thousand feet of roadway. Obviously, these drainage structures are of considerable economic importance in the highway program, not only from the standpoint of initial construction costs, but also from consideration of the …

Measurement Of Surface Irregularities And Riding Qualities Of High Type Bituminous Pavements, Harvey J. Field Jr.

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Studies of riding qualities as determined by irregularities in high type bituminous pavements were first treated in Report No. 1 on this subject in December, 1949. At that time interest was centered as much on specifications as on the causes, the thought being that specifications did not provide satisfactory tolerances to produce surfaces with good riding qualities. Specifically, tolerances over relatively short distances longitudinally were though to be at fault.

It was found early in that work that variations in the lateral direction were causing considerable roughness but since longitudinal variations were being studied primarily, no actual measurements were made …

Test 454: Dodge Power Wagon T137, Nebraska Tractor Test Lab

Nebraska Tractor Tests

All tractors tested at the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory were certified by their manufacturers as being stock model machines, conforming to specifications filed with the application for test. No special or high-test fuels were used except as recommended by the manufacturer as necessary. All results within the official tractor test report were actually attained in tests and are without correction or allowances for friction, temperature, altitude, etc. The results were initially accomplished with the tractor in charge of skilled operators employed by the University. Unless otherwise noted, each tractor was apparently in good condition at the end of the testing …

Four Papers On The Performance Of Thin Walled Steel Structures, George Winter, Warner Lansing, R. B. Mccalley Jr.

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

“The investigations reported in the four papers were carried out under the auspices of the Engineering Experiment Station of Cornell University, Dean S. C. Hollister, Director, and in the School of Civil Engineering, Professor W. L. Malcolm, deceased, and Professor N. A. Christensen, Directors.

They are part of, or related to, an extensive investigation of thin-walled steel structures sponsored jointly by the American Iron and Steel Institute and Cornell University, of which Professor George Winter, Head, Department of Structural Engineering, is in active charge. On the part of the Steel Institute the work is directed by the technical subcommittee of …

Special Text, St 55-30-1, Transportation Intelligence, November 1950, Robert Bolin , Depositor

Department of Defense Military Intelligence

This is a textbook used at the Army Transportation School run by the Transportation Corps. In the 1950s, military schools related to one of the Army Technical Services were run by that service.

The modern US Army vision of the technical intelligence developed during World War II. Shortly before World War II, Army Technical Services had been instructed to set up intelligence sections in the offices of their chiefs. The technical services were bureaus which supplied weapons, equipment, and services to the Army, managed the careers of officers in a particular branch, trained specialists, and organized and trained special purpose …

Aircraft In Agriculture, N. E. Shafer, J. D. Furrer, J. W. Lomax

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Airplanes were first used in agriculture shortly after the close of World War I. They proved valuable for locating mosquito breeding areas, for forest fire patrol work, as an aid in locating outlaw cotton fields in the campaign against pink bollworm, and for surveying damage caused in large forested areas by the spruce budworm.

B.P.R. Project On Correlation Of Truck Traffic And Pavement Conditions, Kentucky Highway Materials Research Laboratory

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Locations for the Test Sections within the Control Sections and as close as possible to the Loadometer Stations established by the Division of Planning have been selected and are described in this report. With but one or two exceptions, there is reasonable certainty that these sections of pavement can be kept in service without major changes for a period of five years. However, there are repairs that should be made on the pavements in two of the sections in order to prevent rapid deterioration that is likely to occur if these are not corrected at the beginning of the study.

Test 448: John Deere Mc, Nebraska Tractor Test Lab

EXPLANATION OF TEST REPORT: John Deere MC TEST A: The manufacturer's representative operates the tractor for a minimum of 12 hours using light to heavy drawbar loads in each gear. This serves as a period for limber up, general observation and adjustments. Adjustments that are permissible include valve tappet clearance, breaker ,point gap, spark plug gaps, clutch and others of a similar nature. No new parts or accessories can be installed without having mention made of it in the report. No data' are recorded during this preliminary run except the time that the engine is operated.

Czarina Mine, Butte, Montana, Prodyot K. Das

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The Czarina mine operated for a short time during the last Great War, lies in the southwestern corner of the Butte mining district of Montana. This area was worked during the extensive silver mining in Butte during the 1890's, and was prospected from time to time in later years. The orebody of the mine consists of fissure fillings of manganese mineral oxidized to a certain depth, in a fracture zone of the Boulder Batholith.

Mineralization Of The Bonanza Mine, H. M. Callaway

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The Bonanza mine of the Emery mining district in Powell County is on the largest veins in the area, and is developed to a depth of 680 feet by an incline shaft following the dip of the structure. Sulfide ores carrying gold and silver values are mined throughout the area which is easily accessible by road from Deerlodge, Montana, ten miles west of the district.
