Magnetohydrodynamic Stability Of Laminar Flow In The Entrance Region Of A Parallel-Plate Channel, Thomas Eldon Eaton
Masters Theses
"The hydrodynamic stability of laminar flow of an electrically conducting fluid flowing in a parallel-plate channel with an applied transverse magnetic field is investigated. The linear perturbation theory of hydrodynamic stability along with the assumption of low magnetic Reynolds number is applied to the governing equations to derive the governing rnagnetohydrodynarnic stability equation. A finite difference scheme is employed to numerically solve the magnetohydrodynamic stability equation. Neutral stability characteristics of the flow in the entrance region are obtained and presented. The neutral stability characteristics of the fully developed Hartmann flow are also re-examined and compared with those of a previous …

On The Flow Near An Enclosed Rotating Blade In The Neighborhood Of The Ground, Tze-Lien Liang
On The Flow Near An Enclosed Rotating Blade In The Neighborhood Of The Ground, Tze-Lien Liang
Masters Theses
"The flow in the vicinity of an enclosed rotating blade near the ground was studied both analytically and experimentally. Experimental results were obtained by making pitot tube traverses across the face of the housing but gave only a qualitative indication of the velocity distribution. Tufts of strings were used to locate the flow directions in the vicinity of the ground and the housing. The two dimensional potential flow solution was found to yield unreasonable results for this flow configuration due to viscous and rotative effects. The three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations were solved numerically by using the successive underrelaxation method. The results …

Lehnhoff which used the method suggested by Goodier to develop the Reissner-Goodier small displacement theory for plates subjected to lateral loading. The purpose of this work is to develop a more complete Reissner-Goodier small displacement theory for plates under general loadings, both lateral and thermal, and to provide a solution to the six governing coupled partial differential equations by using a process similar to that of Lehnhoff. Any loading, lateral and/or thermal, that satisfies the Dirichlet conditions of Fourier analysis and virtually any boundary conditions may be handled. Most …
The Design And Construction Of An Inertia Welder, Arthur Ferdinand Grimm
The Design And Construction Of An Inertia Welder, Arthur Ferdinand Grimm
Masters Theses
"The purpose of this investigation was the design and fabrication of a machine to bond metal to metal using the inertia method of friction welding. This method of bonding is considered far superior to the heretofore employed friction welding processes as will be explained later. The inertia method controls the energy imparted to the weld by using a flywheel which has been brought to a state of predetermined kinetic energy due to rotation. This energy is then transferred to the weld zone in the form of heat due to rotational friction. Hollow specimens with a cross-sectional area of 0.306 square …

Efficiency And Loss Mechanism Of The Electro-Fluid Dynamic Momentum Transfer Process Applied To Propulsion Systems Using Atmospheric Air As The Working Fluid, Roger Coy Crites
Efficiency And Loss Mechanism Of The Electro-Fluid Dynamic Momentum Transfer Process Applied To Propulsion Systems Using Atmospheric Air As The Working Fluid, Roger Coy Crites
Masters Theses
"The general equations governing EFD (electrofluid dynamic) flow are established, simplified, and solved in closed form to provide a mathematical model of an ideal EFD propulsion system. This mathematical model, in conjunction with an analysis of ion-neutral and neutral-neutral molecular collision phenomena, indicates that the cause of inefficiency in the EFD propulsion system is the system entropy increase associated with the diffusion of ion momentum through the neutral fluid. This loss mechanism is shown to be analogous to resistive heating losses in a constant voltage linear electrical network and can be minimized by obtaining minimum ion mobility. It is shown …
Bound-Free Continuum Radiation From Non-Gray Nonisothermal Shock Layers, Chu Yih Wang
Bound-Free Continuum Radiation From Non-Gray Nonisothermal Shock Layers, Chu Yih Wang
Masters Theses
"This study investigates the continuum radiative flux from nonisothermal stagnation shock layers composed of atomic gases. The general equations for the composition are derived and the Rankine-Hugoniot equations are simplified and solved to give the thermodynamic conditions of the shock layers. To accurately model the stagnation shock layer, the plasma must be considered to be nonisothermal. In the current study, linear shock layer temperature profiles are assumed. Consequently, the fluid dynamics and the radiation are uncoupled. The radiation model assumes one-dimensional radiative energy transport and considers only continuum processes. The radiative flux is calculated by considereing ground to free state …

The Influence Of A Carbon Ablation Layer On Radiation From A Hydrogen Shock Layer, Birbal Singh
Masters Theses
"The effect of ablation heat shields on the radiative heat transfer to vehicles entering hydrogen atmospheres at thermo-dynamic conditions similar to those expected in Jovian atmospheres is investigated. The shock layer is assumed to consist of two plane parallel layers, one consisting of pure hydrogen species, and the other consisting of carbon species only. Each layer is assumed to be in local thermodynamic equilibrium at its respective temperature. The thermodynamic conditions in the hydrogen layer are arrived at by solving the Rankine-Hugoniot Equations across the shock. The temperature of carbon layer is taken as (3000, 5000, and 7000ºK) to cover …
Mutually Dependent Heat And Mass Transfer In Laminar Tube Flow, Gary Alfred Scheffel
Mutually Dependent Heat And Mass Transfer In Laminar Tube Flow, Gary Alfred Scheffel
Masters Theses
"An investigation is performed of the mutually dependent heat and mass transfer in laminar and hydrodynamically fully developed gas flow in a tube. Sublimation of mass occurs at the tube wall so that heat and mass transfer take place between the wall and the flowing gas stream. The wall of the tube is thermally insulated from the external environment with the result that the heat of sublimation is supplied by convective transport from the gas. The solution of this problem requires the simultaneous consideration of the energy and diffusion equations, with coupling provided by the boundary conditions. Mathematical expressions are …

Vibration Of A Rotating Cantilever Beam With An Independently Rotating Disk On The Free End, Darrell Blaine Crimmins
Masters Theses
"This thesis provides a vibration analysis of a rotating cantilever beam with an independently rotating thin circular disk on the free end. The exact differential equations of the system as defined by classical Bernoulli-Euler beam theory are written using the methods of the calculus of variations. The exact equations are not solved, but two different approximations are found by assuming a cubic polynomial deflection curve and applying the equation of Lagrange. The solutions are restricted to small deflections of the beam and a shaft stiffness which permits a deflection in only a single plane. Nonlinear differential equations result in the …

Analysis Of Elastic Thermal Stresses By Station-Function Collocation Methods, Jaw-Kuang Wang
Masters Theses
"An approximate method for the solution of thermal stress problems is presented. The method makes use of polynomial approximations to reduce the partial differential equation to a system of linear algebraic equations or a set of first-order ordinary differential equations. This results in satisfying the differential equation at a finite number of stations. The boundary conditions are satisfied identically. Two examples of the method, presented in detail, indicate that the solutions of the biharmonic equation for the stress function and the Fourier equation for the temperature distribution have good accuracy with a minimum of labor. A generalized method is derived …

Magnetohydrodynamic Channel Flow With Non-Uniform Inlet Velocity Profiles, Gwok-Liang Chen
Masters Theses
"An analysis is made of laminar magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow development in the entrance region of a parallel-plate channel. The problem is formulated in general for any velocity distribution at the channel inlet by extending the linearization method of Sparrow, Lin, and Lundgren for non-MHD duct flows. This method involves linearization of the inertia terms in the equation of motion by introducing a stretched axial coordinate. A closed form solution is obtained for the velocity distributions which are continuous across the channel and along the length all the way from the entrance to the fully developed region. An expression for the …

A Transient Method Of Negligible Internal Thermal Resistance For Determining Thermal Contact Conductance In A Vacuum, Richard Chuka Oboka
Masters Theses
"A transient method for experimentally determining the interface conductance between metallic surfaces in contact is developed. The method applies the theory of negligible internal thermal resistance of one of the materials which form the interface. The method is applicable when the interface conductance is very low, a situation which exists when low conductance interstitial materials are used between contacting surfaces for purposes of thermal isolation. In this investigation, stainless steel wire screens of 10 and 100 mesh were used as interstitial materials between aluminum surfaces in a vacuum environment of 10⁻⁵ to 10⁻⁶ Torr.
