Transpiration Cooling Of A Heat Generating Porous Plate, M. K. A. Hameed

Masters Theses

"This investigation is a continuation of a thesis by T. S. Purewal. Several of the simplifying assumptions made by the above author are either ignored or the justifiability of such assumptions is probed into in order to obtain a more rigorous solution. Effects of the assorted grain size, non-Newtonian cooling, direction of coolant flow, thickness of the porous heat generating plate, specific heat of the coolant, and compressibility of the coolant are investigated in this thesis. Variation of maximum temperature of both coolant and the solid material for different types of heat source distribution are also studied.

As the grain …

Thermal Conductometer For Liquids, Yuan-Kai Chang

Masters Theses

"The published data pertaining to the thermal conductivity of liquids are of such a character that it is very difficult to determine from them the correct value, or the temperature coefficient for any liquid.

Most of the published values of thermal conductivity for liquids are evaluated at one particular temperature. It is the purpose of this investigation to design, construct and calibrate a thermal conductometer for liquids over a temperature range of 30°F to 200°F.

Since water and glycerol were the only liquids found by this investigator with published data on their conductivities as a function of temperature, they were …

A Study Of The Problems Of Design Of Optimum Vibration Absorbers For Multi-Mass Systems, James C. Villegas

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this investigation was to continue the preliminary work of Burrows on the application of tuned and damped vibration absorbers to the reduction of vibratory stresses in a multi-mass torsional vibration system. A hypothetical engine system was chosen for both investigations because it had many complicating factors and gave an eminently practical subject for study.

Attention was centered on the reduction of stresses resulting at higher speeds of the machine system and on developing methods and criteria for the designing of effective absorbers where several modes of vibration exist in the operating speed range of the machine"--Abstract, page …

A Comparison Of The Load Carrying Characteristics Of Hydrostatic Thrust Bearing Using Monatomic, Diatomic, And Triatomic Gases, Joseph C. Pigott

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this investigation is to compare the load carrying characteristics of gases with different ratios of specific heat. The design, construction, and operation of an apparatus for testing and comparing the load carrying characteristics of gases are described. Several monatomic, diatomic, and triatomic gases were tested and the results evaluated and compared. The data are tabulated and displayed in a series of curves.

It was found that the monatomic gases exhibit a greater clearance for a given load and a greater total load carrying capacity than the diatomic gases which in turn have a greater clearance and total …

A Correlation Of Heat Transfer Coefficients Using An Induction Heater, Charles Maurice Martin

Masters Theses

"This thesis represents a study of the following problems. (1) Determination of techniques and equipment which would give satisfactory correlation of experimental heat transfer coefficients with those obtained from acceptable heat transfer equations when using an induction heater as the heat source. (2) Determination of depth of energy deposition in a thick-walled tube due to induction heating.

Techniques were developed that gave a correlation between experimental and calculated coefficients that were within -5% for minimum flow and +8% for maximum flow.

Because of difficulties in positioning thermocouples, the depth of energy deposition could not be accurately determined. However, two surface …

Transpiration Cooling Of A Porous Plate, Stephan A. Sayegh

Masters Theses

"Transpiration cooling has long been known as an effective way of removing heat from porous materials. This thesis is a new approach to one of the problems of transpiration cooling in the steady state.

The specific problem considered here is that of a uniform porous plate through which a liquid is forced. This liquid vaporizes at a short distance from the surface through which it is forced and leaves the porous plate at the other surface which is exposed to hot gases. It also protects the hot surface by forming an insulating layer between that surface and the hot gases. …

Experimental Stress Analysis Of Bolts In A Flange Coupling, Vijay Rastogi

Masters Theses

"In this investigation an attempt has been made to determine simple formulae leading to a better, more useful and much safer design of flange coupling bolts. The bolts were tested under tensile loading and bending and hence the results obtained apply for bolts under these modes of loading only.

The behavior of flange bolts under different initial tightening torques was studied by measuring strains in a bolt on which strain gages had been attached* . From this, the load producing separation of flanges, under different tightening torques, was determined and used in deriving formulae for prediction of the load for …

Experimental Evaluation Of Thermal Strains And Stresses, T. F. Lehnhoff

Masters Theses

"This investigation is the study of a method for the experimental measurement of thermal strains. Using four electric strain gages (two of one type and two of another) the method will yield the normal and shear strains as well as the temperature change in any biaxial stress field. The gage types must be chosen for the range of temperature in which it is desired to measure the thermal stresses. The method described eliminates the need for extra resistors, thermocouples, unrestrained dummy gages at the same temperature as the active gages, special alloy gages for each type of metal and special …

A Shell-Theory Analysis Of Transient Thermal Stresses In Moderately Thick-Walled Cylinders, Thomas K. Mckinley

Mechanical Engineering ETDs

This paper investigates the validity of extending the concepts of shell theory to transient thermoelastic problems involving moderately thick-walled shells. The region of study is a moderately thick-walled cylinder which is constrained radially at both ends and is exposed to a uniform, time-dependent heating (or cooling) at one end. The cylinder walls are assumed to be adiabatic, and inertia effects are neglected in the development.

It is concluded from the results of this investigation that the extension of shell theory to moderately thick-walled cylindrical regions subjected to axial, time-dependent temperature variations is an analytical method of approach.

The Design Of A Six Specimen Tensile Fatigue Machine, Charles Mark Percival

Theses and Dissertations

Although metal fatigue has been recognized for many years and during that time many persons have tried to find the explanation for it, there is still not a complete theory concerning this phenomenon. Metal fatigue is one of the major problems the modem designer must face. If the design techniques are to progress as other technological advances are made, it is evident that it will involve a better understanding of metal fatigue.

Design Of An Air Stabilized Plasma Arc, William Robert Clarke

Theses and Dissertations

The plasma-arc generator (see figure 1, 2) has been used for several years as an invaluable ground test facility in which the gas stagnation properties of hypervelocity flight may be reproduced. The plasma is produced by shorting an electric arc between two electrodes; then directing a gas stream through the arc. The gas stream is thus heated to a ''temperature " of forty to fifty thousand degrees Farenheit. At this temperature the gas is in a state of partial ionization termed "plasma". The plasma stream is then constricted and directed by a nozzle into a test chamber and over the …
