A Computational Study Of Thermo-Fluid Dynamics Of Pulse Detonation Engines, Alberto Davila Urresti
A Computational Study Of Thermo-Fluid Dynamics Of Pulse Detonation Engines, Alberto Davila Urresti
Master's Theses - Daytona Beach
The purpose of this thesis is to use a transient Computational Fluid Dynamics computer code written in FORTRAN 90 for full reaction kinetics, to perform an analysis of the physical processes and chemical phenomena occurring on a single cycle of an ideal Pulse Detonation Engine (PDE) using a stoichiometric mixture of H2 and O2. A small zone of high pressure and temperature is used to initiate the detonation wave in the PDE. A simple case with no chemical reactions and the same PDE geometry and “computational spark” is also tested. The speed of the wave relative to …
The Effect Of Target Position And Tactual Recognition Field Size On Touch Bias And Accuracy, Elizabeth L. Brix
The Effect Of Target Position And Tactual Recognition Field Size On Touch Bias And Accuracy, Elizabeth L. Brix
Master's Theses - Daytona Beach
Past studies have shown that touchscreen display angles other than those that perpendicularly bisect the operator's line of sight cause the operator to touch slightly below the target. The amount of touch bias created from this misjudgment fluctuates according to the target's position on the screen. Additionally, the percentage of touches that activate a specific target varies according to the size of the tactual recognition field. Out of three square tactual recognition field sizes, this study sought to match these fields with the amount of touch bias occurring in each location (i.e., small amount of touch bias requires only a …
A Computer-Aided Software Engineering (Case) Approach To Business Process Reengineering (Bpr), Faiza I. Khan
A Computer-Aided Software Engineering (Case) Approach To Business Process Reengineering (Bpr), Faiza I. Khan
Master's Theses - Daytona Beach
This thesis addresses the problem of lack of procedures by which managers can identify business processes that would benefit from reengineering and which could be used to guide the BPR activity to its successful conclusion. The purpose of this study is to analyze various Software Engineering (SE) principles to determine whether they could be used to support Business Process Reengineering (BPR) activities either directly or with some modification, and if so, whether available Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools might be applied to BPR in support of managers who wish to implement it. The principles of SE and BPR are discussed …
Investigation And Evaluation Of A Computer Program To Minimize Vfr Flight Planning Errors, Peter Joseph Mcalindon
Investigation And Evaluation Of A Computer Program To Minimize Vfr Flight Planning Errors, Peter Joseph Mcalindon
Master's Theses - Daytona Beach
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of computer aided flight planning on flight planning errors. Subjects were selected from the introductory flight courses at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. After the subjects completed a conventional VFR navigation log, they were asked to plan the return trip of the flight using a computer aided flight plan. It was initially expected that the computer aided flight plans would have fewer flight planning errors than those calculated using conventional methods. The results supported the hypothesis that flight planning errors are greatly reduced when computer aided flight planning techniques are used.
