Measurement Of Irrigation Water, Eldon M. Stock

Reports

Foreword: Although irrigation has been practiced in Utah for more than one hundred years, irrigation water still is being distributed to farmers with little or not thought about its measurement. A farmer would not think of buying or selling other farm commodities, such as hay, grain, beef cattle, or dairy products, without weighing or accurately measuring them, but at the same time he is often content to accept and pay for the irrigation water received with little or no knowledge as to the actual amount received, or whether or not he is receiving the amount he is entitled to. Measurement …

A Study Of Tunnel Demolition By Hasty Methods, Richard Lee Bullock

Masters Theses

"The use of explosives to construct obstacles which impede the enemy or close his routes of communication has long been employed by our armies. They have developed fairly effective methods for destroying bridges, setting up road craters and constructing abatis. However, one phase of obstacle construction, that of tunnel demolition, has been neglected in that no procedures or methods have been formulated which will aid in the proper destruction of tunnels.

At the present time, under the auspices of the Department of the Army, The Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy is conducting a research program on tunnel demolition. The …

Further Studies Of Vapor-Liquid Equilibria Of Methanol-Ethylene Glycol-Water, Herbert Benjamin Sachs

Masters Theses

"The freezing points of the ternary system methanol-glycol-water have been investigated by Conrad, Hill and Ballman. The vapor-liquid equilibria of the same system was studied by Sjoberg. These investigations were carried out to determine the properties of the system relative to its possible use as an antifreeze mixture.

Since Sjoberg's work in 1948, the improved Othmer equilibrium still has been introduced for vapor-liquid experimental determinations. It is therefore the purpose of the present investigation to evaluate the use of this still, compare results with those obtained by Sjoberg, and analyze ternary mixtures for the entire range of glycol concentrations.

Design Of A Subsonic Wind Tunnel Electrical System, William A. Wundrack

Professional Degree Theses

"The purpose of this thesis is to present information and data used in the planning and construction of an electrical distribution system and main drive system for a wind tunnel designed for Chance Vought Aircraft Company of Dallas, Texas, by Sverdrup & Parcel, Incorporated, Consulting Engineers of St. Louis. Preliminary negotiations were started with Chance Vought Aircraft Company in March 1953, and the wind tunnel calibrations were started in October 1954. Between those dates all design, installation drawings, and construction were completed.

The data used in preparing this thesis were taken from daily records, records of conferences, personal records, correspondence …

Graphical Correlation Of Pressure Drop In Adiabatic Flow Of Compressible Fluids In Pipes, Guy Edward Straub

Theses

Analytic equations for the flow of compressible fluids in conduits with friction are awkward to solve, since the variables involved usually necessitate trial and error solution. A study of the situation indicated that a series of graphs for different values of the specific heat ratio would eliminate the trial and error solution.

The purpose of this paper is to present in graphical form a solution of the equations relating the ratios of the pressure and temperatures in adiabatic flow of compressible fluids to the friction and velocity.

The equations for adiabatic flow of compressible fluids in horizontal ducts of constant …

The Recovery Of Elemental Phosphorous From Phosphorous-Bearing Sludges, Rajendra Nath Bery

Theses

The theory dealing with the propagation of phosphorus sludges in elemental phosphorus production is generally well known, but it has long been felt that an investigation should be made in order to devise a suitable process whereby it may become possible to effect a separation of phosphorus. It is perhaps unfortunate that while the development of the electric furnace process continued, it sometimes overshadowed the importance of recovering additional amounts of phosphorus by relatively simple and inexpensive means since this is considered vital to the economics of elemental phosphorus production. At the present time, there is no economically feasible process …

Jacket Heat Transfer Coefficients In An Agitated Vessel, The Paddle Agitator, Herbert Palfrey Pursell

Theses

Four papers have been published which correlate variables affecting heat transfer through a jacket in a kettle agitated by a paddle type agitator. There are differences in the equations resulting from each of these papers. In none of these papers was variation of the stirrer diameter or stirrer width considered.

It is the purpose of this paper to show that all published data in such a system can be correlated by a single equation which differs from those previously presented. Preliminary recalculation of published data indicated that a relationship exists which involves the stirrer width and diameter. Experimental work was …

The Design And Construction Of An Electrolytic Cell For Aluminum Reduction, Thomas H. Melrose

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The purpose of this investigation was to design and construct a laboratory size electrolytic cell in which to reduce alumina, using the same basic materials that are used in a commercial size cell. The cell was designed to have a capacity of approxi­mately 100 grams of metallic aluminum produced every 8 hours. The cell was constructed so it could be operated continuously.

Investigation Of Inclusions In Armco Ingot Iron, Edwin J. Duncan

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Various chemical and electrolytic separation methods were investigated in an attempt to separate the in­clusions in Armco ingot iron. Residues obtained were X-rayed for identification purposes. The microstruc­tures of this iron were studied with the object of de­termining the relative sizes, locations, and possible compositions of the inclusions.

Effect Of Recovery On The Recrystallized Grain-Size Of High Purity Aluminum, Rodney L. Helterline

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

When a cold-worked metal is annealed, it’s physical properties hange as a result of a new grain structure. The annealing treatment is divided into three stages according to the changes that occur in the distorted metal: (1) recovery, (2) recrystallization, and (3) grain growth.

Polarography Of Indium, John Jackson

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The purpose of this thesis is to study the various aspects of the polarography of indium. The eventual goal would be to develop a method of analyzing indium in unknowns. The investigation is approached by studying the indium ions in various electrolytes and in various concentrations.

Geology Of The Ragged Point Oil Field Musselshell County, Montana, David M. Amos

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The Ragged Point oil field is located in Northwest Musselshell County, in the Lake Basin field of central Mon­tana, and on the western border of the Great Plains region. The surface topography is that of a plain marked by erosion and moderate folding. The stratigraphy of central Montana shows periodic marine invasions from the Cordilleran trough, with normal marine limestones interbedded with sandstone sand shales. These sediments are over 12,000 feet thick, with the Creta­ceous Eagle and Colorado formations exposed at the surface on the Ragged Point anticline. Undifferentiated Cambrian lime­stones and shales are the oldest rocks encountered in drilling.

A Mathematical And Experimental Investigation Of The Application Of Air Spring To Shock Testing Machines, Eric E. Ungar

Mechanical Engineering ETDs

The applications of many modern devices require them to be able to perform their functions satisfactorily after having been subjected to transient accelerations of considerable magnitude. Some Devices are required to operate even during the period of acceleration.

Since failure of components or sub-assemblies during the actual operation of the entire assembly would in general be extremely undesirable and costly (for example, failure of instrumentation in a high-speed aircraft or guided missile might lead to loss of the entire vehicle), it is necessary to test the components and sub-assemblies in order to determine whether they may be exposed to accelerations …
