Linear Regression Models Of Sound Velocity In The North Atlantic Ocean Below A Critical Depth, Richard Roland Kunkel Jan 1970

Linear Regression Models Of Sound Velocity In The North Atlantic Ocean Below A Critical Depth, Richard Roland Kunkel

Doctoral Dissertations

"Sound velocity models currently in use by the U. S. Navy require difficult data sampling at great expense. This study is to investigate the feasibility of a sound velocity model dependent only upon position that would be valid for a selected, reasonably large, near homogeneous area of the ocean. The most important position parameters are latitude, longitude, and depth. To accomplish this objective a critical depth of 2500 meters was established for an 8° by 20° rectangle of the Sargasso Sea which lies within the North Atlantic Ocean. The critical depth is defined as the depth at which the characteristics …


The Surface Effects Of Alkali Halides In The Infrared, Vincent Joseph Llamas Jan 1970

The Surface Effects Of Alkali Halides In The Infrared, Vincent Joseph Llamas

Doctoral Dissertations

"The surface state extension of the shallow donor theory is reviewed. The surface state theory and its applications to F-centers of alkali halides is presented. Experimental infrared data show an absorption which seems to correspond with the ground state to first excited state transition. Surface state concentrations of F-centers as a function of depth into the crystal are given. The ratio of surface to bulk cross sections in KBr and experimental calculations of effective masses in various alkali halides are in excellent agreement with theory. The theoretical cross sections are derived from transition probabilities. However, lack of excited states, the …


Optimizing Diesel Engine Efficiency Using The Controllability Of A Variable Ratio Hydrostatic Transmission, Gordon Wright Jan 1970

Optimizing Diesel Engine Efficiency Using The Controllability Of A Variable Ratio Hydrostatic Transmission, Gordon Wright

Doctoral Dissertations

"A linear mathematical model of a diesel engine, hydrostatic transmission, and electric dynamometer system was developed. This model was used as an aid in designing a single input controller which regulates engine speed to optimize efficiency while maintaining constant transmission output speed under changing load conditions. Compensation was necessary to stabilize the system because of positive feedback in the engine control system. The compensated system's response was compared to that which was predicted analytically. The analytical model was then extended to design the control system parameters to operate the engine and transmission in a representative vehicle"--Abstract, page ii.


Thermal Expansion Of Tetragonal Pbo, Charles A. Sorrell Jan 1970

Thermal Expansion Of Tetragonal Pbo, Charles A. Sorrell

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Thermal expansion of tetragonal PbO, investigated by high‐temperature X‐ray diffraction in vacuum, is nearly isotropic, with the coefficient in the c0 direction only slightly greater than that in the a0 direction. Volume thermal expansion is only slightly greater than in massicot. Retardation of the litharge‐massicot transformation is tentatively interpreted as the result of very low oxygen partial pressures caused by catastrophic oxidation of the stainless‐steel sample holder and resulting oxygen scavenging by lead vapor.

Exact Solution For A Model Of Dislocation Pipe Diffusion, J. Mimkes, Manfred Wuttig Jan 1970

Exact Solution For A Model Of Dislocation Pipe Diffusion, J. Mimkes, Manfred Wuttig

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The dislocations are treated as an ideal array of parallel pipes of radius and diffusivity Dp embedded in the bulk material of the diffusivity Db. The exact solution of this problem of diffusion along semi-infinite edge dislocations is presented for cubic, tetragonal, and hexagonal crystals. The solution makes it possible to evaluate the dislocation pipe radius a and the ratio of diffusivities from one experiment. It is applied to experimental data for self-diffusion in tellurium available in the literature. The results of the calculations are a dislocation pipe radius a=(1.5 0.5)x10-4 cm and an activation energy for the pipe diffusion …

Investigation Into The Monotonic Magnetostriction And Magnetic Breakdown In Cadmium, James Milo Carter Jan 1970

Investigation Into The Monotonic Magnetostriction And Magnetic Breakdown In Cadmium, James Milo Carter

Doctoral Dissertations

"Observations of the monotonic magnetostriction of cadmium at 4.2 K and in fields of 65 kilogauss have been made. The angular dependence of an extremal point (Hm) in the monotonic magnetostriction is found to follow inverse cosine behavior. The magnitude of Hm (27 kG) for fields parallel to [0001] is in fair agreement with the onset of γ1/3 from the breakdown of the trifoliate orbit, γ. The range of observation of hm coincides with the reported range of the trifoliate orbit. A "klink" in the monotonic magnetostriction is demonstrated. The "klink" field, Hk, …


Investigation Of Liquid Carryover In The Girdler-Sulfide Process For Production Of Heavy Water At The Aec Savannah River Plant, Samuel Clark Allen Jan 1970

Investigation Of Liquid Carryover In The Girdler-Sulfide Process For Production Of Heavy Water At The Aec Savannah River Plant, Samuel Clark Allen

Doctoral Dissertations

"An investigation of the causes of liquid carryover in the Girdler-Sulfide process for the production of heavy water was carried out using 12 samples of carbon collected over a one-year time period. Organic impurities from the feedwater were concentrated by adsorption on carbon. Studies of methods for the drying of carbon showed that freeze drying resulted in the minimum reproducible moisture retention without gross loss of the adsorbed organic materials. Rotary vacuum evaporation and air drying of beds of carbon were proven to be less efficient. A study was made of the variables which affect extraction efficiency by the Soxhlet …

Realistic Impulsive P Wave Source In An Infinite Elastic Medium, Joseph Hugo Hemmann Jan 1970

Realistic Impulsive P Wave Source In An Infinite Elastic Medium, Joseph Hugo Hemmann

Doctoral Dissertations

"The generally assumed instantaneous impulsive pressure sources for an elastic P wave in an infinite medium lead to basic contradictions, a step function source yielding infinite displacements as the shear modulus goes to zero, and the total energy radiated by a delta function (or any derivative of the delta function) source being infinite. By noting that the character of the solution in the elastic region must match the acoustic case near the source, a realistic impulsive pressure source is postulated which has a finite time history. The elastic field produced by this source is then obtained in closed form. A …


Structures And Relationships Of Some Perovskite-Type Compounds, Christian Michel Jan 1970

Structures And Relationships Of Some Perovskite-Type Compounds, Christian Michel

Doctoral Dissertations

"A model for crystallographic transitions in perovskites is proposed. The model consists of regular octahedra sharing corners and topologically able to rotate without distortion around their three-fold axes. This model, with R3̄c symmetry (18e position) can be described in terms of a continuous rotation of angle, w, of octahedra from two ideal symmetry forms: the hexagonal close-packed and the cubic face-centered configurations. A parametric relation is derived between w and the rhombohedral cell angle, α, or the corresponding hexagonal axial ratio c/a . A wide range of atomic structures based on a framework of regular or slightly distorted octahedra sharing …


Theory Of Shallow Donor Impurity Surface States, Vidal Emmanuel Godwin Jan 1970

Theory Of Shallow Donor Impurity Surface States, Vidal Emmanuel Godwin

Doctoral Dissertations

"A variational approach has been used to solve the effective-mass equation, when the impurity ion is located at a depth d from the surface of a semiconductor, where 0 < d < db and db represents the case when the impurity ion is in the bulk of the semiconductor. The ground state and the excited state having the largest electric dipole coupling to the ground state have been determined. We have plotted the energy dependence on the depth of the impurity ion from the surface of the semiconductor. The energy has also been calculated as a function of the orientation of the …


Penetration In Granite By Shaped Charge Liners Of Various Metals, Hemendra Nath Kalia Jan 1970

Penetration In Granite By Shaped Charge Liners Of Various Metals, Hemendra Nath Kalia

Doctoral Dissertations

"The penetration in Missouri red granite by cylindrical charges with metal liners of aluminum 2011 (T-3), aluminum 7075 (T-6), yellow brass, monel, maraging steel (vascomax 250), and copper was measured. Metals having high ductility and moderate compressive strength penetrated deeper than high strength maraging steel. Aluminum required a greater standoff for optimum penetration than the other metal liners tested. Preliminary metallographic studies of the liner metals and slugs showed that the grains had elongated along the slug axis. The metals containing zinc formed very small or no slugs. The granite grains were highly fractured. The holes were discolored and coated …

Voids In Neutron Irradiated Aluminum, Nicholas H. Packan Jan 1970

Voids In Neutron Irradiated Aluminum, Nicholas H. Packan

Doctoral Dissertations

"Void formation in high purity aluminum resulting from irradiation to fluences between 1.5 x 10¹⁹ and 1.6 x 10²² neutrons/cm² (E > 0 .1 MeV) at a temperature of 55 ± 5ºC was studied, primarily by means of transmission electron microscopy. In particular the effects of neutron fluence and flux were examined, as well as the possible influences of both preexisting and transmutation-produced impurities. A very low concentration of voids (about 10¹²/cm³) resulted from irradiation to 1.5 x 10¹⁹ neutrons/cm²; they averaged about 150 Å in diameter. Void concentrations and sizes increased with fluence, reaching values of 6 x 10¹⁴ voids/cm³ …


A Coordinate Oriented Algorithm For The Traveling Salesman Problem, Joseph Sidney Greene Jan 1970

A Coordinate Oriented Algorithm For The Traveling Salesman Problem, Joseph Sidney Greene

Doctoral Dissertations

"The traveling salesman problem may be stated as follows: "A salesman is required to visit each of n given cities once and only once, starting from any city and returning to the original place of departure. What route should be chosen in order to minimize the total distance traveled?" A new algorithm is developed which gives a good approximation to the solution for a large number of cities using reasonable computer time and which will converge to the exact solution if allowed to continue. This algorithm is a branch and bound technique which utilizes the distance between cities in its …


Absolute Excitation Cross Sections Of He⁺ In 20-100 Kev He⁺-He Collisions Using Energy-Loss Spectrometry, Donald Roy Schoonover Jan 1970

Absolute Excitation Cross Sections Of He⁺ In 20-100 Kev He⁺-He Collisions Using Energy-Loss Spectrometry, Donald Roy Schoonover

Doctoral Dissertations

"Application of positive-ion energy-loss spectrometry has been extended to include experimental determination of absolute excitation cross sections of ground state helium ions. Helium ion-atom collisions were studied for impact energies ranging between 20-100 keV, in 10 keV intervals. The data were taken with an apparatus resolution between 0.6-o.8 eV FWHM. Cross sections for transitions from ground state to the second and third principal quantum levels of the ion plotted as a function of impact energy were still rapidly increasing at 100 keV. The cross sections at this energy were 1.64(± 0.28) x 10⁻¹⁸cm² for He⁺(l²s1/2) -> He⁺(n = …


Simulation Of A Gas Storage Reservoir With Leakage By A Two-Dimensional Layered Mathematical Model, Steven William Ohnimus Jan 1970

Simulation Of A Gas Storage Reservoir With Leakage By A Two-Dimensional Layered Mathematical Model, Steven William Ohnimus

Doctoral Dissertations

"A generalized mathematical model was developed for two-dimensional compressible fluid flow accounting for the effects of relative permeability capillary pressure, and gravity drainage in addition to the reservoir properties of rock heterogenity and reservoir geometry. The generalized model developed was applied to an aquifer gas storage reservoir in which vertical leakage occurred from the main reservoir to two adjacent overlaying zones. The experimental results of Thomas, et al. were utilized in applying the model to gas storage injection/withdrawal periods yielding reasonable results for the three layers"--Abstract, page ii.


Electric Field Strength Dependency Of The Rate Of Radiation Induced Degradation In Silicon Planar Devices, Cyrus Hoshang Irani Jan 1970

Electric Field Strength Dependency Of The Rate Of Radiation Induced Degradation In Silicon Planar Devices, Cyrus Hoshang Irani

Masters Theses

"The investigation of electric field strength dependence of the rate of damage introduction, caused by gamma and neutron irradiations in matched is reported. Groups of devices (with varying biases applied to the emitter-base and collector-base junctions to allow study of the electric field strength dependence) were exposed to ionizing gamma radiation from a Co-60 source. Similar experiments were conducted to study the field strength dependence of the rate of space-charge volume damage introduction, caused by fast neutrons (E> l0keV, fission source). The experimental results indicate that the rate of surface degradation, as reflected by the increase of the normalized surface …

Substitution And Photolytic Rearrangements In Three-Member Ring Compounds, Joseph Terril Bohanon Jan 1970

Substitution And Photolytic Rearrangements In Three-Member Ring Compounds, Joseph Terril Bohanon

Doctoral Dissertations

"An investigation into the substitution and photolytic rearrangements of 1,2,3-triphenylcyclopropenes was conducted. Triphenylcyclopropenyl t̲-butyl ether was found to undergo alkyl group exchange with refluxing methanol, ethanol, or 2-propanol to yield the corresponding 1,2,3-triphenylcyclopropenyl alkyl ether when a trace impurity of a 1,2,3-triphenylcyclopropenium halide is present to catalyse the reaction. This forms hydrogen halide with solvent. Upon standing for long periods of time, the 1,2,3-triphenylcyclopropenyl ethers were observed to partially rearrange to new products. A sample of 1,2,3-triphenylcyclopropenyl methyl ether was subjected to photolysis in hexane and yielded 3-methoxy-1,2-diphenylindene, 2,3- diphenylindenone, tolane, benzoic acid, 1,2,3-triphenylpropen-1-one and a polymer. Samples of 1,2,3-triphenylcyclopropene, …
