Pressure Drop Across A Restriction Of Annular Geometry, Farshid Yarizadeh

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This report presents experimental results for the pressure drop across a restriction of annular geometry used in a typical pressurized water reactor steam generator. The pressure drops were obtained for air, water, and the corresponding two-phase mixtures.

The loss coefficients associated with these pressure drops were experimentally determined and empirical relations correlating the results were developed.

The tests were performed at atmospheric conditions (atmospheric temperature and pressure), and the two-phase flow mass velocity ranged from 236 to 711 1bm/s-ft².

Examination Of The Feasibility Of An Earth Coolant Tube To Provide Residential Space Cooling, W. Jerry Bowman

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A study was performed to gain an understanding of the feasibility of an Earth Coolant Tube for use in cooling and heating air for residences and industry. It was concluded that previous studies did not include the effect of coolant tube depth or coolant tube operation over long periods of time. A numerical methods approach using finite difference form of the general energy conduction equation was used to evaluate these effects. It was concluded that a coolant tube 1 foot in diameter and 100 feet long could provide as much as 1/6 ton of refrigeration for a 4 month time …

The field of computer graphics has continued to provide an efficient means of depicting information about complex phenomena for its users. It has become a widely used tool through which the user may manipulate data to generate a different perspective of the problem at hand and, hence, offers a solution to many varied problems. One area of the application for computer graphics is the field of flight simulation.

At the University of Central Florida, research is being conducted in the area of computer graphics simulation to develop a method through which a pictorial representation of the outline of a small …

Heavy Metals In Floodplains Receiving Highway Bridge Runoff, Elizabeth T. Skene

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A study was supported by SUS/STAR to investigate the fate of heavy metals in bridge runoff which are received by surrounding floodplains. Three bridge sites in Central Florida were selected and various locations in each site were sampled. Soil, plant, and water samples were analyzed for Cd, Zn, Cu, Fe, Pb, Ni and Cr. Statistical analysis of results for heavy metal content of plants and soils at control versus bridge sampling areas were conducted. In agreement with other investigators, Pb was found to be a good indicator of highway pollution in soil, plants and water. Possible mechanisms for metal sorption …

A Calorimeter For Solar Collector Testing Facilities, James C. Huggins

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The reference heat source (RHS) is an electrical calorimeter used with solar collector test facilities. It can be used to calibrate the test facility or to measure the thermal performance of a collector. The RHS described here was designed to be accurate enough to be used as a standard for verification of test facility calibrations. The core of the unit consists of resistance heaters, platinum resistance thermometers, a thermopile, and flow mixers. This core is surrounded by a thermally driven copper shield to control heat loss. The electrical power input to the core is measured with an electronic power transducer. …

Determining Solar Water Heating System Performance By Simulation, Muhammad Erami

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

TRNSYS (Transient Simulation) is used to simulate a solar hot water heating system. Three different collector areas, hot water demand and temperature settings are used to determine system performance under varying environmental conditions. The percent solar utilization or solar fraction and collector efficiency is found to be a function of collector area, tank temperature setting, daily hot water demand and solar radiation. Regression analysis is used to study solar fraction sensitivity to these same variables. Predictive models relating solar utilization with hot water load and collector area are obtained by fixing radiation level and tank temperature. Results are portrayed graphically

The Effects Of Threat To One's Belief On Stimulus Of Belief Supporting Arguments, Peter A. Jeye

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The process of persuasion has been written about and studied in abundance since the times of Plato and Aristotle. However, comparatively little research has been done on resistance to persuasion. In fact, to this day, only two series of systematic studies on resistance to persuasion have been reported. The present study will be a logical extension of that research.

Early efforts to study resistance to persuasion focused on the effects of one-sided and two-sided communications. One-sided communications present arguments for a given point of view, without any mention of arguments for the opposing point of view or attempted refutation of …

Imers: An Interactive Medical Records System, Mary A. Garner

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

As computer printouts replace handwritten and typewritten information in a Medical Records department, it becomes more advantageous for the Registered Records Administrator (RRA) to learn how to interact with a computer terminal. Computer applications in the Medical Records field increase the availability and accessibility of patient information. The Medical Records System discussed in this paper has been adapted by the Medical Records department of the College of Health Sciences of the University of Central Florida as a tool for demonstrating the relationship between the computer and the successful management of medical records. This system will provide hands on experience to …

The Upstream Approach In The Employee Assistance Program Concept, Raymond M. Thornton

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The employee assistance program (EAP) concept in industry is defined and examined in this paper. Stress is defined and its impact on the individual and the organization is examined. The development of a preventative model of an EAP which utilizes stress management techniques to prevent human suffering and lost company time is discussed. One of the main purposes of this research report is to propose that individuals with "Type A" behavior patterns who are taught stress management techniques will have significantly lower scores on physiological measures, stress measures, role conflict and role ambiguity measures than those Type A individuals who …

Relationship Between Creativity, Intelligence, And Sex Role Attitudes In College Students, Deborah D. Roman

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

During the late 50's and early 60's the topic of creativity gained popularity among the scientific community, resulting in a proliferation of research on creativity. This increase in popularity led to the development of numerous test batteries claiming to measure creativity. These included batteries by Wallach and Kogan, Guilford, and Torrance, Although these researchers differ somewhat in their definitions of creativity, all of these tests tend to measure divergent thinking (requiring the generation of unique new ideas by synthesizing and reorganizing the available information) as opposed to convergent thinking (requiring knowledge, memory, and recognition). The development of objective tests of …

Response Functions Of The Diffusion-Model Of One-Dimensional Disordered-Systems, Stephen B. Haley

Faculty Bibliography 1980s

The configurational average response of discrete one-dimensional disordered systems modeled by the classical diffusion equation is investigated. Perturbation expansions of the system response functions based on the average deviation ⟨ΔW⟩ of the nearest-neighbor interaction constants Wn are developed in the frequency domain. It is shown that for probability distributions ρ(W) such that ⟨W−1⟩ is finite, a frequently applied effective-medium approximation is exact to second order in ΔW for all frequencies. The frequency dependence of the hopping conductivity is a second-order effect.

Theoretical Modeling For Detectivity And Resolution Comparison Of Single Aperture And Multiple Aperture Optical Imaging Systems, Steven C. Kellogg

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The detectivity and resolution of single aperture and multiple aperture optical imaging systems are compared for single point sources in optically background limited environments. The single aperture system assumes a single large diameter lens with a detector array at the focal plane. The multiple aperture system assumes an independent detector array at the focal plane of each of the apertures of the multiaperture system. The multiaperture lenses are arranged in a rectangularly symmetric pattern within the perimeter that a single large aperture would occupy.

Due to the presence of a constant signal plus an optical noise field whose amplitude is …

Personal Computer Simulation Program For Step Motor Drive Systems, William M. Koos

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A system of equations modeling a class of step motors known as the permanent magnet rotor step motor is presented. The model is implemented on a APPLE personal computer in a version of BASIC. Measurements are then made on an existing motor and input to the program for validation. A special test fixture is utilized to take performance data on the motor to facilitate comparisons with the predictions of the program. The comparisons show the model is indeed valid for design of step motor drive systems and emphasize the practical nature of using personal computers and simulations for design.
