The Anodic Oxidation Of Oxalic Acid On Au, Steven C. Mueller
The Anodic Oxidation Of Oxalic Acid On Au, Steven C. Mueller
Masters Theses
"The anodic oxidation of oxalic acid on Au has been studied at 80°C in aqueous media. The reaction rate was measured as a function of potential, oxalic acid concentration, pH, and temperature in H₂SO₄-K₂SO₄-KOH solutions of unit ionic strength. The oxalic acid was oxidized only in acidic media. The oxidation to CO₂ was essentially complete. A first order dependence of the rate on both pH and undissociated oxalic acid was found. A mechanism is proposed in which the first decarboxylation is the rate determining step"--Abstract, page 1.
An Explicit Simulation Of Overland Flow, Glendon Taylor Stevens
An Explicit Simulation Of Overland Flow, Glendon Taylor Stevens
Masters Theses
"Computer simulation of overland flow requires a mathematical model which converges to a true solution. This paper presents a method, based on measurable physical parameters, which insures convergence of a fixed grid explicit numerical solution. Analysis of a wide range of overland flow plane parameters has resulted in an equation of the form Δt = 0. 2 ΔX/So, for the time step increment. This equation provides values for Δt that will insure stability and convergence of the fixed grid explicit numerical method of solving the spatially varied unsteady flow equations. The effect of subarea shape on the rising …
Evaluation Of City And Region Planning Techniques, Charles Clay Miller
Evaluation Of City And Region Planning Techniques, Charles Clay Miller
Masters Theses
"The transportation and community planning effort in the United States has resulted in the expenditure of a great deal of time and money. However, the result of this effort has largely been unusable because of a lack of an effective formalized planning method. this thesis presents summarizations of the planning methods employed in ten plans which are typical of the U.S. Planning Effort. Each of these methods are critiqued in the light of a proposed planning method. The Federal Government has recently required the adoption of a Planning, Programming and Budgeting System (PPBS) in an effort to formalize a scientific …
Analysis And Control Of Noise Produced By Small Pneumatic Tools, Phillip Ray Elam
Analysis And Control Of Noise Produced By Small Pneumatic Tools, Phillip Ray Elam
Masters Theses
"Noise measurements were made near the exhaust of three small pneumatic tools operating under various loads and with various components removed. One-third octave analyses were performed on the noise for identification of noise sources and to determine possible noise reduction techniques. It was determined that the noise spectra consisted of broad band turbulent flow noise plus periodic components at the tool motor blade passage frequency and harmonics of this frequency. One tool, the nut setter, was selected for reverberant field noise analyses and noise reduction studies. Reverberant field measurements indicated that most of the tool noise was transmitted through the …
Penetration In A Graded Filter, William Chuan Shen
Penetration In A Graded Filter, William Chuan Shen
Masters Theses
"An experimental laboratory study conducted to examine clogging within and penetration of fines into a single layer graded filter. Hydraulic gradient, filter gradation and flow direction were varied. Forty one tests gave over six hundred individual penetration depths. The magnitude of penetration in filters with considerable variation in gradation patterns correlated with an average hydraulic radius based on the volume of voids and an approximated total surface area. It has been shown than an increased thickness of poorly graded filter will stop penetration such as that caused by seepage erosion. A relationship between hydraulic radius, penetration depth and probability of …
Shear Strength Characteristics Of Crushed Glass, Fred Ray Browning
Shear Strength Characteristics Of Crushed Glass, Fred Ray Browning
Masters Theses
"Drained and undrained triaxial compression tests were performed on two gradations of crushed glass in order to determine the compressibility and shear strength characteristics. Consolidation pressures varied from 10 to 100 psi. Volume changes during consolidation were discussed because of the dependency of shear strength behavior on the density condition at the end of consolidation. Stress-strain-volume change characteristics were observed in order to discuss the load-deformation and dilatancy relationships and the effects of varying density, gradation and consolidation pressure. Stress-strain properties were also determined for the undrained tests. The undrained tests were constant volume tests, thus having no dilatancy effects. …

Optumr A Digital Computer Program To Cost Optimize A District Heat Piping Network To Remove Waste Heat From Nuclear Power Reactors, James Richard Hendricks
Masters Theses
"The thermal pollution problem of a nuclear reactor electrical generating facility can be eliminated if an economical, productive use for the waste heat can be found. The computer program presented here is designed to investigate the economic feasibility of utilizing this waste heat to heat buildings. The program optimizes a district heating network using the reactor's rejected heat and performs a comparative analysis with a selected conventional heat rejection system. The results indicate that the system is feasible only if the reactor can be sited relatively close (5 miles) to an urban center. Increasing national concern regarding thermal pollution and …
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 …
Investigation Of The System Al₂O₃-Teo₂-O₂, Vera Zelenkova Sestak
Investigation Of The System Al₂O₃-Teo₂-O₂, Vera Zelenkova Sestak
Masters Theses
"The system Al₂O₃-TeO₂-O₂ has been investigated by X-ray diffraction and differential thermal analysis in air and in sealed silica ampoules. The tellurate, Al₂TeO₆, with tellurium in the +6 valence state, forms in air but not in vacuum at 1 mm pressure. A second phase, a tellurite, possibly Al₂Te₂O₇, forms in air or vacuum by devitrification. The glass-forming region is wider than previously stated and is more extensive in vacuum--from 50% to 98% TeO₂. Tentative phase boundaries have been placed for the system in air and vacuum"--Abstract, page ii.

On The Longitudinal Impact Of Two, Thin, Viscoelastic Rods, A. G. Behring, R. B. Oetting
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
A one-dimensional representation of the distribution of stress and strain resulting from the longitudinal impact of two elastic rods is developed. A form of the "correspondence principle" is then used to obtain series solutions for stress and strain distributions resulting from the longitudinal impact of two rods of a "Maxwell material." Results of the viscoelastic solutions, obtained by use of nondimensional variables, are presented graphically. © 1970 by ASME.
An Analysis Of A Synchronization Scheme For 180° Biphase Modulated Signals, James Joseph Spence
An Analysis Of A Synchronization Scheme For 180° Biphase Modulated Signals, James Joseph Spence
Masters Theses
"The problem of analyzing a synchronization system for demodulation of 180° biphase modulated signals is considered in this thesis. The system considered utilizes the so-called squaring loop technique. Techniques derived from the theory of Markov processes are utilized in the analysis of the system. In particular the "fluctuation equation" approach for non-Markovian processes is used. After the analysis of the system is performed, an expression fro the bit error probability is obtained from knowledge of the phase error density function"--Abstract, Page ii.
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 …

The Electrochemical Behavior Of Molybdenum In Acidic Chloride Solutions, Mun-Shan Lee
The Electrochemical Behavior Of Molybdenum In Acidic Chloride Solutions, Mun-Shan Lee
Masters Theses
"The anodic dissolution of Mo was studied in HC1-KC1 solutions at 25ºC. The apparent valences of Mo ions going into solution were approximately six. Lower values were obtained in HC1 solutions, with the most pronounced changes occurring with the higher concentrations. The resultant ions in solution were Mo-VI. The Mo surface in aqueous solutions appears to be covered with an oxide whose approximate composition is Mo₂O₅. The anodic dissolution is controlled by the oxidation of the surface oxide (Mo₂O₅) to MoO₃"--Abstract, page 1.

Imperfections In The Ag-In System (Alpha-Phase) And Lattice Parameters Of Cadmium Oxide, Prafulla Maganlal Vora
Masters Theses
"This thesis has been divided into two parts, namely, "Imperfections in the Ag-In System (Alpha-Phase)" and "Lattice Parameters of Cadmium Oxide." Imperfections in the Ag-In System (Alpha-Phase): It can be shown -- as in the case of the Cu-In α solid solutions -- that during quenching from the liquid state, strains are produced by the quenching process and, in addition, vacancies are quenched-in, in the Ag-In α-solid solutions. The number of vacancies present, measured by the decreased density of the alloys, is proportional to the indium content up to the solid-solubility limit. Upon heat treatment of the alloys, the thermal …
Transient Response Of A Vibration Isolation System, Hemendra Shantilal Acharya
Transient Response Of A Vibration Isolation System, Hemendra Shantilal Acharya
Masters Theses
"A practical procedure for investigating the performance of a vibration isolation system under transient conditions is presented. For this investigation, an induction motor with an unbalanced rotor is studied during the period when it accelerates to its operating speed from rest. Using Newton's second law of motion, equations of motion are derived, first neglecting and then considering the effect of "inertia torque". This torque is produced by the inertia force resulting from vertical acceleration of the unbalanced mass. The equations are solved on a digital computer using the Runge-Kutta method of order 4. The results obtained are compared with those …
