Airflow Through Metallic Screening, Norman Bernard Wolk

Masters Theses

"The selection of the problem for which this paper offers a solution was made from a list of thesis subjects submitted to Dr. Aaron J. Miles by the United States Air Forces. This suggestion called for the development of a method whereby air flow through woven materials such as metallic screening and woven cloth could be predicted in terms of the pressure drop across the material. The range of the pressure differentials to be investigated was from zero to twenty inches of water.

After some preliminary work it became obvious that an investigation of the air flow through all types …

A Study Of An Industrial Waste Produced In The Manufacture Of Titanox, Kurt H. Frank

Masters Theses

"The problem involved in this thesis is definitely of an industrial nature in that it deals specifically with waste from a plant that is primarily concerned with the manufacture of pigment.

….the plant does have a method of recovering the soluble titanium by returning the overflow from the Dorr thickener to the digestion tanks to dilute (cut) the digestions. However, in the underflow (sewer) there is a tremendous amount of sludge that is sent directly into the nearest stream because of failure to realize something economical to do with it. This sludge contains roughly 30 per cent solids of the …

A Study Of Some Raw Materials For The Manufacture Of Silica Brick, Charles E. Shulze

Masters Theses

"The ability of silica to carry a load to within a few degrees of its melting point and its tolerance for comparatively high concentrations of iron oxide and lime, have enabled it to maintain its position as the number one steelplant refractory. It is estimated that at least half of the volume of refractories used in the steel plant are silica bricks. Consequently the manufacture of silica refractories forms an industry of considerable importance.

Raw materials suitable for the manufacture of silica brick are widely distributed, but only a small number of deposits are used commercially for one reason or …

Recovering Oil From An Unconsolidated Sand By Means Of Combustion, David K. Anderson

Masters Theses

"For many years, there has been talk expressing great concern about the oil reserves in the United States. Every four or five years, articles are published stating that we are running out of oil and our proved reserves, to date, are only adequate, at our present rate of consumption, for about 20 years. While this is true, it does not leave us with the complete picture. The industry in the past 20 years has never had more than a 20 year reserve. It must be said, however, that it is becoming more difficult with each passing year to find oil …

Integrated Scattering Of Microwaves By Small Metal Spheres, A. L. Merts

Masters Theses

"When electromagnetic radiation falls upon a material body of any kind, the associated electric field induces periodic oscillations of the electrons of the material synchronous with the incident radiation. The material serves as a secondary source and emits energy in the form of scattered radiation with a frequency equal to that of the incident electromagnetic wave. The polarization and intensity of the scattered radiation are determined by the size, shape, electric constants, and interactions among the scattering elements.

The scattering of electromagnetic waves is an old problem in physics. Such names as Rayleigh, Debye, and Mie have become associated with …

An Investigation Of Ruthenium As A Possible Ceramic Colorant, John Charles Williams

Masters Theses

"Some portion of almost every writing dealing with the historical development of ceramic products is devoted to describing the application of colors as found on even the most ancient specimens known to exist. A vase bearing the name of an Egyptian king living 5000 B. C. was glazed in green and inlaid with purple. There are many such examples of the utilization of color in ceramics which illustrate to a certain extent the aesthetic tastes of the very earliest and primitive civilizations.

In those early times, only a few elements were known and available that could be used for such …

Well Interference In The South Silica Field, Langdon B. Taylor

Masters Theses

"During World War II the Federal Government restricted oil-field drilling in the United States in order to conserve steel. The wartime regulations required 40-acre spacing in most areas. At the close of the war, the Federal drilling restrictions were lifted, and control of oil-well spacing reverted to the several state regulatory bodies. Each of these state agencies was then confronted with this problem: should 40-acre spacing be continued or should pre-war 10- and 20-acre spacing patterns be re-established?

The regulatory authority in Kansas, the State Corporation Commission, ordered an investigation in January, 1946, for the purpose of developing information upon …

Mineral Composition In Relation To Particle Size For A Missouri Plastic Fire Clay, John Edward May

Masters Theses

"From the rather modest beginning of the refractory industry in Missouri prior to the Civil War, the industry has grown to challenge those of other states as the third largest producer of refractory clays and products in the United States. As Roberts (1950) points out, the development of the metallurgical and glass industries increased the demand for high grade refractory materials. A prominent factor in the development of the fire clays of Missouri was the discovery that flint clay could be mixed with the plastic or semi-plastic refractory clays to yield an excellent product. Perhaps the most important reason many …

Problems In Theatre Lighting And Pre-Selective Elctronic Lighting Control, Hasan Orhan Aker

Masters Theses

"Until the recent years, because of the lack in technical know-how of play producers and on the other hand the limited knowledge of the engineers about stage technique, all the advantages provided by efficient stage lighting could not be exploited. Especially, the different problems encountered from the point of view of lighting control, could not be solved for a long time.

It has been proven from theatres built lately, that the stage lighting designs made without a thorough study of the various stage conditions and requirements lead to a tremendous increase in cost and also inefficient operation of the whole …

A Stratigraphic Study Of Fusulinid Foraminifera In The Cherokee Group (Pennsylvanian) Of Western Missouri And Kansas, Ralph Orlansky

Masters Theses

"Limestones or shaly limestones, from four stratigraphic levels in the Cherokee group (Desmoinesian series) of Missouri and Kansas, contain eight species and two varieties of fusulinid foraminifera, of which four species and two varieties are new, and one ophthalmidiid foraminiferal species (Hemigordius cf. regularis Plummer). The next to highest limestone (cap rock of the Fleming coal) is correlated with the Seahorne limestone of western Illinois, the Stonefort limestone of southern Illinois, and the Munterville limestone of Iowa. Hemigordius regularis, a limestone facies foraminifer apparently marks a correlatable interval in the Ardmore limestone. Descriptions of the fusulinids and the …

The Reactions Of The Sodium-, Potassium-, And The Lithium Tungsten Bronzes In The Solid State, Keki Khodadad Irani

Masters Theses

"The first part of this dissertation has the intention of determining whether MoO₃ forms solid solutions with Na-W bronze corresponding to the formula NaWO_3(1-x) (MoO₃)_x and whether the so-called “sodium-molybdenum bronze” exists.

The next part is concerned with the solubility of K-W bronze in Li-W bronze at high temperatures, in a vacuum, and the last part or this work has the intention of studying the solubility of K-W bronze in Na-W bronze at different temperatures.

The interest in this work is of a purely scientific nature rather than of academic interest"--Introduction, page 1.

Highway Construction And Maintenance Equipment With Machine And Automotive Repair Shops For The Reconstruction Of The Highways Of The Iv Division, Ankara, Turkey, Steve Theodorides

Masters Theses

"With the rapid advancements being made in travel and communication facilities today, the world is steadily growing smaller and people in the far places of the world are no longer strangers.

There is no doubting the importance of tractors, dozers, scrapers, power shovels, graders, bituminus construction equipment, aggregate handling, etc., in the present-day world, in aiding the progress of civilization and bringing to all people the good things of life.

It must be remembered that money expended for highways is not wasted, and can be classified as an asset.

In substance, this is a general project for the reconstruction and …

The Use Of Oil-Base Drilling Fluids, William Wesley Collins

Masters Theses

"Within the past few years the development of oil-base drilling fluids has become one of the more important contributions to drilling and production technology. The use or these new muds has increased as the benefits obtained have become more widely known and appreciated. Major problems in the petroleum industry have been, for many years, the contamination or drilling muds by salt water; control of mud when drilling through anhydrite, gypsum, or salt deposits; control of heaving or swelling shale; and water or mud blocking or the producing horizons. The development or oil-base drilling fluids is a direct contribution or engineers …

A Survey Of Single Ended Tuned Grid Tuned Plate Class C Power Amplifiers, Chandrakant D. Gandhi

Masters Theses

"The analysis of tuned grid-tuned plate Class C power amplifiers has been treated by many authors in many ways. The methods differ in accuracy and in time required to obtain the end results. A survey of most important of these methods was taken up by the author of this thesis with an aim towards studying their accuracies, advantages and disadvantages. A general survey of this type of analysis has not been found in the literature. In this survey only the most important phases of the tuned grid-tuned plate single ended Class C power amplifiers are discussed.

This survey has been …

Series Capacitors, Emcet Bilgeer

Masters Theses

"Static capacitors as an element of transmission and distribution circuits first appeared in the form of shunt capacitors. These shunt capacitors were primarily used in power factor correction. They can be regarded as a load in the circuit which draws a loading current. This loading current fleeing through the reactive line produces a voltage rise, thus reducing the voltage drop between sending and receiving ends. This phenomenon helps the voltage control of the feeder as well as power factor correction. The disadvantage of the shunt capacitor is its inflexibility. The shunt capacitor is connected across the line; hence the voltage …

Increased Stripper Well Recovery By Means Of High Voltage Electrical Heating, John Curtin Schratwieser

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this work is to investigate the possibility of using high voltage electrical heating to obtain increased stripper well production.

A substantial portion of the oil produced in the United States is obtained from stripper wells. These wells reach their economic limit when they can no longer produce sufficient oil to justify the cost of operation. In the majority of cases, however, there is still a high percentage of oil in the sand. If a production stimulus of sufficient magnitude is introduced into the formation, oil, otherwise nonproducible, may be recovered. It is the writer’s thesis that high …

Investigation Of The Fundamental Properties Of Rubber-Asphalt Mixtures, Yali Cevat Hasan

Masters Theses

"The writer of this thesis believes that the most important thing next to the original construction cost of a road, is the maintenance cost. It is apparent that the maintenance cost for any given road is directly proportional to the percentage of worn out sections in that road. It is believed that climatic conditions are the very first cause of road failures and that traffic on the road often has a secondary degree of importance in the causing of road surface failures….

It is obvious that extreme heat as well as extreme cold will ruin a road. A heavy traffic …

The Specific Radioactivity And Ratio Of Hafnium To Zirconium In Ores From Different Continents And The Preliminary Design Of A Process For Producing Hafnium, Arliss V. Martin

Masters Theses

"An investigation of the weight ratio of hafnium to zirconium in ores from widely separated regions of the world was undertaken to extend knowledge on this ratio obtained by modern means and to compare with the results of previous investigators. This type of information is of interest in geochemical considerations and the value of some similar information in the literature has been vitiated by the relatively recent finding that past methods of analysis are not satisfactory. The specific radioactivity of the original ores was determined in an attempt to check the proposition originated by Hevesy and apparently generally held by …

Stress Analysis Of Thin Bedded Mine Roofs Subjected To Evenly Distributed Lateral Load And Supported By Barrier Pillars, Sahap Sakip Aybat

Masters Theses

“Theoretical stress analysis in mine structures begins with the assumption that the structural elements are homogeneous, isotropic and perfectly elastic. It is this writers belief that stresses in a mine roof supported by barrier pillars may be compared to those stresses which may be found in a thin plate supported and restrained in the manner similar to such a mine roof. Therefore the stress and moment equations developed for plates are herein applied to mine roofs of limited thickness.

A thin roof bed which is stressed with evenly distributed lateral load and supported with barrier pillars will be regarded as …

Design Of A Steam Power Plant To Be Erected In Mudanya, Turkey, Vahram Ogretmenoglu

Masters Theses

"The power plant, the design of which is submitted herewith, is to be erected in Turkey, at the center of the town of Kestik, in the district of Mudanya along the shores of the Marmora Sea. Mudanya is the harbor of the state of Brusa, and like most of the big cities, it is entirely electrified. However, electrification in Turkey has begun in the late twenty's; consequently, it has not yet been possible to bring electricity to the numerous small towns and villages. Several big projects have been undertaken for purposes of rural electrification, one of them being the erection …

The Effect Of Inlet Air Temperature On The Efficiency Of A Spark Ignition Engine, John B. Toomey Jr.

Masters Theses

"The object of this thesis is to determine the effect of inlet air temperature on the efficiency of an internal combustion engine. In most text books the subject is dismissed with mentioning the negative effect of warm air on the maximum output of the engine. This fact is recognized but since most engines are run at maximum output only a small percentage of the time, it would be possible to control the air temperature as the situation demanded. With the assumption that cold air could be used when full power is desired, it was decided to determine the effect of …
