A Systems Study Of Our Energy Problems, S. C. Lee Oct 1977

A Systems Study Of Our Energy Problems, S. C. Lee

UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy

The diminishing supply of petroleum and natural gas has induced many concerned citizens as well as many interest groups to study energy problems. Based on different sources of information and various degrees of economical consideration, conflicting conclusions have been reached. To help resolve this situation, a systems study was conducted. The available statistics on the supply and demand of energy were examined. The resources of nuclear energy, fossil fuel, and renewable energy sources were analyzed. Considerations were weighted equally on energy content, resource availability, existing technology, and consumer economics as well as on the impact of ecology and sociology. The …

The Development And Testing Of A Fluidic/Pneumatic Position Servo, David Lyle Portin Sep 1977

The Development And Testing Of A Fluidic/Pneumatic Position Servo, David Lyle Portin

Dissertations and Theses

This thesis reviews the design and analysis of a fluidic/pneumatic position servo. Rolling diaphragm piston actuators are used for the system drive, and a hydrostatic gas journal bearing is used as the position sensor. The servo has a 1 inch range which is monitored using an electrical capacitive position transducer that was built as an integral part of the system.

Open-loop frequency response testing provides the basis for a mathematical model of the system.

The servo response is linear at frequencies up to 3 Hertz.

The frequency response appeared to be limited by the design of the gas bearing sensor, …


Optimal Control Of A Large Space Telescope Using An Annular Momentum Control Device, Arun Anant Nadkarni Jul 1977

Optimal Control Of A Large Space Telescope Using An Annular Momentum Control Device, Arun Anant Nadkarni

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations

Application of a new development in the field of momentum storage devices, the Annular Momentum Control Device (AMCD), to the twin problems of large angle maneuvers and fine pointing control is considered. The basic concept of the AMCD consists of a spinning rim, with no central hub area, suspended by a minimum of three magnetic bearings, and driven by a noncontacting electromagnetic spin motor. The dissertation considers in detail the design of an optimal controller to achieve both large angle maneuvers and the fine pointing control of a Large Telescope (LST) with a single configuration, consisting of a single AMCD …


Static Temperature Measurements In Supersonic Flow Using Lasar Raman Spectroscopy, Paul A. Nystrom Jul 1977

Static Temperature Measurements In Supersonic Flow Using Lasar Raman Spectroscopy, Paul A. Nystrom

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations

Laser Raman spectroscopy is a nonintrusive technique which can generate mean static temperature (MST) data within flow fields. By ratioing two simultaneously gathered portions of the Raman scattered spectrum, absolute intensity measurements were not needed. This method was applied to a supersonic cold air jet, where the NST ranged from 160'K to 300'K. Accurate measurements were not realized due to the presence of flow contaminates, especially water vapor.


A Fast Boundary Tracking Alogorithm For Constrained Nonlinear Mathematical Programming Problems, Jacob Yaghoub Moradi Jun 1977

A Fast Boundary Tracking Alogorithm For Constrained Nonlinear Mathematical Programming Problems, Jacob Yaghoub Moradi

Dissertations

A fast search algorithm for the solution of nonlinear mathematical programming optimization problems is presented in this thesis. A gradient search procedure is combined with a "Boundary Tracking"(BT) method using the feasible direction finding method of Zoutendijk for generating a feasible starting direction along the feasible-infeasible boundary.

The algorithm is applied to the minimum weight design of submersible, circular, cylindrical shells reinforced by equally spaced "T" type frames. This problem had produced algorithm failure in two earlier studies and was only recently solved by the Direct Search-Feasible Direction Algorithm (DSFD) which was shown by recent comparison studies to be among …


Dynamic Analysis Of Structures With Solid-Fluid Interaction, Rennee Ramona Pedrido Apr 1977

Dynamic Analysis Of Structures With Solid-Fluid Interaction, Rennee Ramona Pedrido

Dissertations

Interaction between solid and fluid has been recognized to be an important factor in the areas of aeroelasticity, hydroelasticity, and the study of flow-induced vibration in nuclear reactor components. This study develops a finite element model for interaction between an elastic solid and a fluid medium. Plane triangular finite elements have been used separately for fluid, solid, and solid-fluid continua and the equivalent mass, damping, and stiffness matrices and interaction load arrays for all elements are derived and assembled into global matrices. The global matrix differential equation of motion developed is solved in time to obtain the pressure and velocity …
