Cell Model Of A Fluid. I. Evaluation Of The Partition Function And Series Expansions, Ralph G. Tross, Louis H. Lund Jan 1968

Cell Model Of A Fluid. I. Evaluation Of The Partition Function And Series Expansions, Ralph G. Tross, Louis H. Lund

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The partition function of a one-dimensional system of particles with all interactions active is formulated in terms of Ising ferromagnetic spin states. It is shown how the partition function for two- and three-dimensional systems can be obtained from the one-dimensional one by restricting the number of bonds per particle. After writing the partition function in matrix form, the operator of interest is diagonalized and its trace expressed in the form of a convenient infinite series. The series is shown to be absolutely convergent and its analytic properties are briefly investigated. It is then applied to one-, two-, and three-dimensional systems …


Cell Model Of A Fluid. Ii. Thermodynamic Properties Of The System, Ralph G. Tross, Louis H. Lund Jan 1968

Cell Model Of A Fluid. Ii. Thermodynamic Properties Of The System, Ralph G. Tross, Louis H. Lund

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

In Paper I of this series (preceding paper) the model was formulated mathematically, and the solution derived in the form of an infinite series. The convergence and analyticity of the solution were investigated. It was then applied to one-, two-, and three-dimensional systems with nearest-neighbor interactions, and low-temperature series for these systems were obtained. In the present article the thermodynamics of the model are investigated. The series solution of the partition function derived in Paper I is applied to systems with interaction potentials of increasing complexity. The validity of the model is established by showing that in the appropriate limits …


Neutron Radiation Damage In Silicon Transistors, C. A. Goben, F. M. Smits, J. L. Wirth Jan 1968

Neutron Radiation Damage In Silicon Transistors, C. A. Goben, F. M. Smits, J. L. Wirth

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

In the investigation of base and collector current as a function of the emitter-to-base voltage, previous studies have shown that neutron-induced base current has components originating in the emitter space charge region as well as the neutral base region. This study shows that while the low injection level neutron-induced base current is dominated by the space charge component, the high injection behavior appears to be controlled by recombination in the neutral base region. Additional experiments performed in special tetrode transistors and van der Pauw-type samples indicate that changes in collector current are dominated by recombination in the neutral base, while …

A Comparison Of Proportional And Nonproportional Damping In Multistory Shear Buildings, Edwin C. Bailey Jan 1968

A Comparison Of Proportional And Nonproportional Damping In Multistory Shear Buildings, Edwin C. Bailey

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this study was to determine whether proportional damping could be used to satisfactorily simulate the more practical nonproportional damping condition in multistory shear buildings. To accomplish this one computer program was written to analyze proportionally damped systems and another to analyze nonproportionally damped systems, each giving as output the frequencies, mode shapes, displacements, shears and moments and the maximum shears and moments. Shear buildings of two, three and four stories were studied in which the damping coefficients were varied from one to ten percent of critical damping. Although the programs could handle various other types, only linearly …


Thixotropic Effects In A Clay-Water System, John Arthur Mathes Jan 1968

Thixotropic Effects In A Clay-Water System, John Arthur Mathes

Masters Theses

"Fundamental aspects of thixotropic phenomena are described, and previous investigations of thixotropic behavior in soil systems are summarized. The complex nature of the thixotropic phenomena as well as its general occurrence in fine grained soils is described. As existing hypothesis for thixotropic behavior based on initial non-equilibrium conditions is examined. Experimental results, as determined from a testing program on the Putnam clay, verify this hypothesis. The rate and magnitude of thixotropic strength increases of the Putnam clay were determined. Shear strength determinations were made by the unconfined compression and laboratory vane shear tests. The results of the tests were compared …


A Kinetic Investigation Of The Reaction Of Ethylenedinitrilotetraacetic Acid (Edta) And Cerium (Iv) In Acid Solution, Sahmia K. Al-Hashimi Jan 1968

A Kinetic Investigation Of The Reaction Of Ethylenedinitrilotetraacetic Acid (Edta) And Cerium (Iv) In Acid Solution, Sahmia K. Al-Hashimi

Masters Theses

"The reaction between Ce(IV) salt solutions and EDTA solution was followed titrimetrically and spectrophotometrically and found to occur in stages. Four equivalents of Ce(IV) are reduced per mole of EDTA almost instantaneously at room temperature or even lower. With increasing temperature and reaction time an ultimate of about 14 equivalents of Ce(IV) is consumer per mole of EDTA. Formaldehyde, carbon dioxide, and other unidentified compounds are the products of oxidation of EDTA with Ce(IV). The kinetics of the reaction in aqueous sulfuric acid (0.09 - 2.95 M̲) was studied over the temperature range 11.7-40⁰ by a spectrophotometric technique. In the …


Kinetics Of The Formation Of Strontium Zirconate, W. H. Parker Jan 1968

Kinetics Of The Formation Of Strontium Zirconate, W. H. Parker

Masters Theses

"The decomposition rate of strontium carbonate (SrC0₃) was measured using a TGA apparatus. It was found to deviate slightly from zero order classical reaction. The rate of formation of strontium zirconate (SrZr0₃) from zirconium oxide (ZrO₂) and strontium oxide (SrO) in the form of the decomposition product of SrCO₃ was measured using quantitative x-ray diffraction for mineralogical analysis. It was found to most nearly follow the Zhuravlev-Lesokhin-Tempel' man rate equation. The rate of decomposition of strontium carbonate was found to be more rapid than the rate of formation of strontium zirconate such that for the most part strontium oxide is …


Thermal Runaway In Power Transistors, Jerry H. Lee Jan 1968

Thermal Runaway In Power Transistors, Jerry H. Lee

Masters Theses

"Considerable work has been done on the theory of thermal runaway and the relationship between transistor junction temperature and collector power dissipation. The first part of this thesis is a review of literature. An equation for the normalized junction temperature and its peak value is developed. From this equation, the junction temperature at the thermal runaway point for a given maximum power dissipation could be determined. The second part of this thesis is experimental. The author examined the thermal runaway points for eight different transistors in the basic common emitter class A circuit which operated under no signal DC conditions"--Abstract, …


The Downhole Suspension And Testing Of An Electrodynamic Shear Wave Exciter, Robert Franklin Kehrman Jan 1968

The Downhole Suspension And Testing Of An Electrodynamic Shear Wave Exciter, Robert Franklin Kehrman

"The work in this research project was aimed at designing a Downhole Electromagnetic Shear Wave Generator capable of delivering a wide frequency band, random, continuous signal. This Exciter was built using a compressed-air driven piston assembly for downhole application. The device was tested in the laboratory in a concrete test facility. It proved to be capable of transmitting a continuous, measurable stress into the concrete in a 100 to 5,000 hertz frequency band"--Abstract, page ii.


Computer Simulation Of Scraper-Pusher Behavior During Early Open Pit Mining Operations, Martin Alan Thieme Jan 1968

Computer Simulation Of Scraper-Pusher Behavior During Early Open Pit Mining Operations, Martin Alan Thieme

Masters Theses

"A method has been developed for study and evaluation of overburden removal systems in open pit mining. The computer simulation method shows the effect of vehicle and course characteristics and the control of loading time on overall production and cost per unit of overburden removed. Data are available from vehicle manufacturers and from past mining experience. The data are punched onto processing cards and the system is then simulated and analyzed using a digital computer. The products of the system simulation consist of a tabulated listing of all control variables after each simulated vehicle loading and a system summary predicting …


Impulse Response Of Rc Exponential Lines, Oscar Gojon Jan 1968

Impulse Response Of Rc Exponential Lines, Oscar Gojon

Masters Theses

"This thesis presents an application of the analysis of the n-wire exponential line to the case of the 3-wire RC exponential line terminated in its characteristic impedance, and to the 2-wire exponential line with open and short circuit terminations. These lines are excited with Δ-function voltage generators, and the corresponding impulse responses are obtained"--Abstract, Page ii.


The Bethe-Weizsäcker Mass Formula And Lennard-Jones N-N Potentials, James Paul Wesley, Alex E.S. Green Jan 1968

The Bethe-Weizsäcker Mass Formula And Lennard-Jones N-N Potentials, James Paul Wesley, Alex E.S. Green

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

An elementary derivation of the Bethe-Weizscker semiempirical nuclear mass formula which is in the spirit of current views of nuclear structure, is given. Lennard-Jones potentials are assumed to act between nuclear. Thus, the major interaction between nn, pp, and np pairs is taken of the form —g/r3+h/r4, where r is the separation distance between nuclear, and g and h are constants. An additional "symmetry" interaction of the form s/r3 is assumed for np pairs. Summing the potential energy over all nucleon pairs and using the Fermi statistical estimate of the kinetic energy, the Bethe-Weizscker semiempirical mass formula is obtained directly. …


Dielectric Properties Of Solid Solutions Of Bifeo₃ With Pb(Ti, Zr)O₃ At High Temperature And High Frequency, Robert Travis Smith, Gary D. Achenbach, Robert Gerson, William Joseph James Jan 1968

Dielectric Properties Of Solid Solutions Of Bifeo₃ With Pb(Ti, Zr)O₃ At High Temperature And High Frequency, Robert Travis Smith, Gary D. Achenbach, Robert Gerson, William Joseph James

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Solid solutions of BiFeO3 with PbTiO3, PbTi0.5Zr0.5O3, and PbZrO3 were prepared. The crystallographic data on these solutions, which are basically perovskitic, are given. The dielectric constants of the materials were determined at a frequency of 0.53 GHz and at temperatures up to 800°C. Dielectric Curie points were found in solutions containing up to 90 mole % BiFeO3. These results leave little doubt that BiFeO3 is ferroelectric or antiferroelectric. The extrapolated Curie point for BiFeO3 is above 850°C. BiFeO3 appears more likely to be ferroelectric than …

Strong-Coupled Piezoelectric Polaron, Wayne E. Tefft Dec 1967

Strong-Coupled Piezoelectric Polaron, Wayne E. Tefft

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

A semiclassical, variational calculation for the strong-coupled piezoelectric polaron gives the following results for the ground-state energy and polaron radius, respectively: U0=-0.47(m*/m) (κ2/ε)2eV, and R=3.5(ε/κ2) (m/m*)â ã where m* is the band effective mass, κ is the electromechanical coupling constant, and ε is the strain-free dielectric constant. The theory is expected to be valid when |U0| is larger than thermal energies and R is considerably larger than unit-cell dimensions. A calculation of the polaron effective mass, having a more limited region of validity, gives mp~m*[1+2|U0|/m*vs2], where vs is the velocity of sound. …

Survival Probability In Dissociative Attachment, Joseph C.Y. Chen, Jerry Peacher Nov 1967

Survival Probability In Dissociative Attachment, Joseph C.Y. Chen, Jerry Peacher

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The survival probability in dissociative attachment is investigated with special attention to the (e, H2 ) system. It is shown that the simple expression for the dissociative-attachment cross section, as given by the product of a capture cross section and a survival probability, is equivalent to the s -wave approximation for the g → g dissociative attachment. This expression, however, does not constitute an approximation for the g → u dissociative attachment, since the parity of the initial rotational states of H2 is always opposite to that of the relative angular momentum states of H and H- …

Numerical Differentiation Of Equally Spaced And Not Equally Spaced Experimental Data, Harry C. Hershey, Jacques L. Zakin, Robert Simha

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Procedures are given for smoothing and differentiating experimental data with both equal and nonequal spacing in the independent variable. Selection of the number of points to be included in the "movable strip" technique and of the degree of the polynomial is discussed. Equations are given to estimate the error by calculating a confidence interval on each slope. A technique for handling certain types of nonrandom errors is presented. © 1967, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
