Utilization Of Waste Heat From The University Of Missouri Research Reactor., Anek Punyakumleard

Masters Theses

"An analysis has been conducted to determine the economic as well as technical feasibility of using waste heat from the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) to heat the reactor containment building and the associated laboratory building.

Several methods of waste heat utilization were reviewed, including open field agriculture, animal shelter heating, aquaculture, waste water treatment, and space heating. Based on this review, it was concluded that several of these waste heat utilization methods are feasible for the MURR. However, the most practical means of utilizing the MURR waste heat appears to be for space heating in the reactor containment …

Mass Transfer In Dispersed And Continous Phases For Creeping Flow Of Fluid Spheres Through Power Law Fluids, Türker Gürkan, Robert M. Wellek

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The diffusion equation was numerically solved by an implicit finite-difference method for the purpose of calculating the continuous phase Sherwood number, Sh, for mass transfer from an internally circulating Newtonian droplet traveling through a non-Newtonian power-law-type continuous phase in the creeping flow regime. The Mohan stream functions were used in the calculations in order to approximate the velocity profile inside and outside the droplet. The calculated Sh is presented as a function of the Peclet number, Pe, power-law index, n, and a viscosity ratio parameter, X. Sh increases as n decreases in the pseudoplastic region. The dependence of Sh on …

The Effective Autocorrelation Function Of Maximum Entropy Spectra, Richard E. Dubroff

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The technique and the relative advantages of maximum entropy spectrum analysis have been discussed by Burg [1], [2]. Evaluation of the inverse Fourier transform of the maximum entropy spectrum shows that this method does, indeed, correspond to a reasonable nonzero extension of the autocorrelation function.

Features Of A Separating Turbulent Boundary Layer As Revealed By Laser And Hot-Film Anemometry, R. L. Simpson, J. H. Strickland, P. W. Barr

Symposia on Turbulence in Liquids

Experiments have been performed to determine the fundamental nature of boundary layer separation produced by an adverse pressure gradient. Measurements upstream and downstream of the separation zone have been made utilizing laser and hot-film anemometry techniques.

A completely mobile backscattering laser anemometer was developed. This alone is a significant development because of the relatively long focal lengths required for measurements in a 36" wide wind tunnel. Signal processing was achieved by a digital signal sampling and storage system. Both mean and fluctuating velocities in both the unseparated and separated flow regions were measured. Experimental results are in fairly good agreement …

A Proposed Interpretation Of Transitional And Turbulent Energy Flow Processes, J. N. Cannon, R. W. Hanks

Symposia on Turbulence in Liquids

This paper discusses the consequence of a continuum analysis of turbulence using the Reynolds convention, on the cascade of energy to internal thermal energy. It is observed that there are two distinct dissipative paths or traps that the energy follows, neither of which involves vorticity. It is observed that the so-called "Reynolds' Stresses" are not involved in these irreversible dissipative paths, but are in the reversible bridge between the mean and fluctuating flows.

An effort is made to generate a consistent physical interpretation of all of the terms in the equations used rather than selecting isolated terms for explanation. Some …

Dissipation Of An Axially Symmetric Turbulent Wake In The Very Far Field, R. H. Waser

Symposia on Turbulence in Liquids

A wake visualization technique has been used to observe the turbulent wake at distances of 10⁶ diameters behind an axially symmetric streamlined body traveling submerged in water. It has been found that a transition occurs in the rate of wake growth between 10⁴ and 10⁵ diameters which is attributed to a "reverse transition" from turbulent to laminar flow.

The wake visualization technique involves dropping a dye-coated body down a taut vertical guide wire into a large water-filled tank. Measurement of the wake growth and dissipation is made from a time series of photographs.

The bodies tested were …
