The Effect Of Submerged Jets On The Hydraulic Jump, Harvey E. Jobson

Masters Theses

"Tests were performed in order to determine the effects of forcing submerged jets of water into the base of a hydraulic jump. The specific energy of the water leaving the hydraulic jump, the length and the wave formation properties of the jump which had been modified by the introduction of submerged jets were determined and compared with the same characteristics of a normal hydraulic jump and a hydraulic jump which had been modified by the use of baffle piers.

Test results indicate: (a) the quantity of water flowing through the submerged jets is a primary factor in determining the specific …

The Elastic And Anelastic Constants Of A Synthetic Fluor-Mica Formed By Glass-Ceramic Fabrication Techniques, John H. Ainsworth

Masters Theses

"A tetrasilicic fluor mica, K₂Mg₅Si₈O₂₀F₄, was synthesized using glass forming techniques. Density changes, weight losses, and shrinkage, as well as elastic and anelastic properties, were measured on bars heat-treated at selected temperatures between 500°C and 1150°C to determine the characteristics of this material. Phase changes were followed by determining thermal expansion, logarithmic decrement, and modulus of elasticity from room temperature to 800°C.

It was found that the elastic and anelastic constants decreased gradually with heat treatments from 600°C to 1000°C. This indicated progressively increased structural ordering. Heat treatments above 1000°C …

The Transmission Of Loads To Point Bearing Piles In Sand Beneath Retaining Walls, Alan Albert Kamp

Masters Theses

"An experimental investigation was made of the way in which loads were transmitted to point bearing H-piles in sand under a retaining wall. Using a plastic model, the moments and axial loads were determined along the length of the pile by measuring the strains with electric strain gages. A comparison was made of the experimental results at the top of the pile and the analytical results at this point; the latter obtained from the common practice used in design. The comparison was very poor because the excessive horizontal load (that part of the horizontal load which could not be carried …

Buckling Strength Of Titanium Alloy Columns In The Elastic And Inelastic Range, Richard O. Rintoul

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this study is to find experimentally the buckling strength of titanium alloy (Ti.-6Al.-4V.) columns and to determine a suitable equation to be used in the design of titanium columns in the elastic and inelastic range.

Effective length over radius of gyration ratios of from 178 to 16.1 were studied. High strength steel plates with cylindrical radii milled in the faces served as column ends while cylindrical radii ends were milled on the columns. SR-4 strain gages were used at the mid-points of all columns to determine lateral deflection and predict a theoretical buckling stress. Actual column loads …

Design, Operation, And Calibration Of The Canal "A" Submerged Rectangular Measuring Flume, Gaylord V. Skogerboe, W. Roger Walker, Lawrence R. Robinson

Reports

The D.M.A.D. dam and reservoir are located on the Servier River northeast of Delta, utah, and serve as a stroage reservoir for the winter and spring flows of the Sevier River below Sevier Bridge Reservoir. The D.M.A.D. dam has been constructed with two outlet works, one for feeding Canal "A", which serves the Delta and Melville Irrigation Companies, while the other canal serves the Abraham and Desert Irrigation Companies.

A gaging station located along Canal"A" has been used for many years to obtain flow measurements. The gaging station measurements appeared to be very inconsistent, and consequently, in 1963 a study …

Design, Calibration, And Evaluation Of A Trapezoidal Measuring Flume By Model Study, M. Leon Hyatt

Reports

SCOPE AND PURPOSE OF INVESTIGATION

The discharge occurring in an open channel can be measured by placing a constriction in the channel. Flumes are commonly used as constriction in open channels. A flume is a specially designed and calibrated section built into a channel, the physical properties of which allow the calculation of the discharge. The narrowest section of the flume is usually called the throat. The velocity of flow through the throat, for any given flow rate, increases with a decrease in the flow depth. The ideal condition for measurement of discharge is a throat sufficiently constricted to produce …

Proceedings Of A Summer Institute In Water Resources: Volume 3 - Water Quality Control And Management, P. H. Mcgauhey

Reports

Foreward: Recognizing the need for training of individuals to meet the rapidly rising problems connected with water resources development, Utah State University, with National Science Foundation support, organized a Summer Institute in Water Resources for college teachers. it was hoped that participants carefully selected from all regions of the country would receive additional insight and stimulation to improve and enlarge water resources training programs at their own institutions. Thus, the accelerated dissemination of such knowledge on a national scale could be facilitated. Realizing further that the key to a successful institute of this nature lay in the excellence of its …

Estimation Of Pan Evaporation From Climatological Data, Jerald Emmet Christiansen, Ashwin D. Mehta

Reports

A new formula and coefficients for climatological factors was developed for estimating pan evaporation based on an analysis of data from 23 states in the U. S. and from five other countries. This formula may be written: Ev=K R Ct Cw Ch Cs Ce Cm in which K is a dimensionless constant R is the theoretical radiation reaching the outer atmosphere, expressed as equivalent evaporation in the same units~ , as Ev. Ct, Cw, Ch,and Cs are dimensionless sub-coefficients for temperature , wind, humidity, and sunshine. Ce is a sub-coefficient for elevation, and Cm is a monthly coefficient Equations were …

The Thermodynamics Of The Zno-Fe₂O₃-Fe₃O₄ System, Robert Lee Benner

Doctoral Dissertations

"The purpose of this investigation was to (1) experimentally locate certain phase boundaries in three isothermal sections of the zinc oxide - ferric oxide - magnetite phase diagram, (2) to experimentally determine some of the thermodynamic properties of the zinc oxide - ferric oxide - magnetite system, (3) to use the thermodynamic properties of the zinc oxide - ferric oxide - magnetite system to evaluate the pseudo-binary system between zinc ferrite and magnetite, (4) to construct a compound stability diagram for the zinc-iron-oxygen-sulfer system"--Introduction, Statement of the Problem, page [1].

The Production Of Glutamic Acid By Fermentation, Tsun-Hsiung Li

Masters Theses

"The method of producing glutamic acid by fermentation was studied in shake flasks and in a five liter fermentor. Strains of the micro-organism, Micrococcus glutamicus, were used to produce glutamic acid under different conditions ... A literature review of the general properties of glutamic acid and industrial methods of glutamic acid production was made. A detailed discussion of the fermentation method of glutamic acid production was also included"--Abstract, page ii.
