Smada: Stormwater Management And Design Aid, Timothy M. Curran Oct 1980

Smada: Stormwater Management And Design Aid, Timothy M. Curran

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The Stormwater Management and Design Aid (SMADA) is a computer model formulated to assess stormwater runoff quantity and quality. Applicable theory is reviewed to introduce a discussion of the modeling methodology. A pre- vs. post-development design objective can be incorporated to evaluate runoff quantity and quality for single or multiple land use watershed. Detention and retention facilities are considered and conveyance systems for runoff transmission can be sized. Initial design assessments and consistent design review and evaluation are possible. SMADA is written in the BASIC language and is executed in the interactive mode. No computer cards are required and data …

Optical Phase Modulation Utilizing Magnetoelastic Properties Of Metallic Glasses, Frank R. Trowbridge Oct 1980

Optical Phase Modulation Utilizing Magnetoelastic Properties Of Metallic Glasses, Frank R. Trowbridge

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Three different optical fiber phase modulators utilizing the magnetostrictive properties of the metallic glass alloy Fe74Co10B16 were constructed. By binding the optical fiber to the magnetostrictive metallic glass, the strain imparted to the metallic glass from the magnetic field is transferred to the optical fiber. The strain on the optical fiber shifts the phase of the light, which can be controlled indirectly by varying the current producing the magnetic field permeating the metallic glass. The performance of the modulators on the basis of optical phase shift as a function of bias magnetic field and optical phase shift as a function …

An Investigation Of Fabric Filtration For The Removal Of Colloidal Turbidity From A Laboratory Water, David Brent Jansen Oct 1980

An Investigation Of Fabric Filtration For The Removal Of Colloidal Turbidity From A Laboratory Water, David Brent Jansen

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A kaolin in tapwater suspension was treated either with alum or one of two cationic polymers. The resulting suspension was filtered through various configurations of felt cloth filters. The kaolin suspension was adjusted to 100 JTU. Treatment by polymer consistently lowered the filtered effluent to less than 1 JTU. Jar tests were utilized to determine optimum coagulant dose for the tests. The formulation of a complete filter cake in the filter appeared to be the determining factor in the efficiency of water clarification by the filter. The literature lacked references to this concept as applied to water supply problems. The …

The Effects Of Plain Sedimentation On The Quality Of Urban Stormwater Runoff From The Lake Eola Watershed, Victor Julius Godlewski Oct 1980

The Effects Of Plain Sedimentation On The Quality Of Urban Stormwater Runoff From The Lake Eola Watershed, Victor Julius Godlewski

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The settling characteristics of urban stormwater runoff emanating from the Lake Eola Watershed (Orlando, Florida) were evaluated through a series of 7 column studies. The percentage removal that occurred due to sedimentation was observed for various stormwater pollutants and constituents. These included the General Water Quality Parameters: Total Suspended Solids, Non-volatile Suspended Solids, Volatile Suspended Solids, Chemical Oxygen Demand, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen, Ammonia Nitrogen, Total Organic Carbon, and Total Phosphorus. The metals parameters: Zinc, Cadmium, Arsenic, Nickel, Copper, Magnesium, Iron, Lead, Chromium and Calcium were also considered. The results of the settling analysis indicates that the quality of Lake Eola …

A Real Time Microprocessor Based Digital Filter Implementation, Mark H. Shaver Oct 1980

A Real Time Microprocessor Based Digital Filter Implementation, Mark H. Shaver

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A major break-through in the real-time digital simulation of dynamic models has occurred with the introduction of the Intel 2920 digital signal processing chip. The problems and potentials for this new device are demonstrated by implementing an elliptic function digital low pass filter via the bilinear z-transform approach. The software implementation is presented. Debugging and software verification are accomplished via manufacturer's simulation software tools. The hardware performance is verified in the laboratory. The results of these efforts point to much promise for wide scale applications, however, problems associated with performance indicate early version chip problems.

Sewer System Evaluation Surveys Conducted In Industrial Plants, Robert B. Cadle Jul 1980

Sewer System Evaluation Surveys Conducted In Industrial Plants, Robert B. Cadle

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

"Sewer System Evaluation Surveys Conducted in Industrial Sewers," describes the methods employed and the results of Sewer System Evaluation Survey studies conducted at two industrial complexes. The procedural techniques for locating and quantifying infiltration and inflow into sewer systems represented to provide a basic understanding of the steps required to complete such studies. Case studies of actual surveys conducted at two privately operated industrial plants in Tennessee are presented to illustrate the utilization of the investigative techniques. The results of the studies are compared with each other and with similar studies conducted in municipal sewer systems.

Evolution Of A Cooling Water Treatment Program At A Chemical Processing Plant, Lawrence P. Everson Jul 1980

Evolution Of A Cooling Water Treatment Program At A Chemical Processing Plant, Lawrence P. Everson

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

During the construction of a chemical processing plant, a polyphosphate product was selected for use as a corrosion inhibitor in the open recirculating cooling tower system. After several months of operation, problems in the system made evident the fact that polyphosphate as a corrosion inhibitor was not acceptable. An organic corrosion inhibitor was substituted for the phosphate, resulting in improved corrosion protection and the elimination of phosphate fouling.

A Parametric Study Of Economical Energy Usage In Freeze Tunnels, Marc A. Harrison Jul 1980

A Parametric Study Of Economical Energy Usage In Freeze Tunnels, Marc A. Harrison

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

An investigation into economical energy usage in freeze tunnels was conducted. Freeze tunnels are commonly used in the food processing industry to freeze products, and in some cases may use large amounts of electricity. An actual freeze tunnel was observed and modeled on a computer. A parameter study was conducted. The results of the parameter study indicated the efficiency and energy costs in freeze tunnels may vary widely. Important parameters included the Nusselt number, air temperature, and the ratio of fan work divided by the useful refrigeration effect. Although no single set of optimum conditions were found, methods for improving …

Effects Of The Step Parent Education Program On Parenting Styles And Reported Child Behavior Problems, Patty H. Lee Jul 1980

Effects Of The Step Parent Education Program On Parenting Styles And Reported Child Behavior Problems, Patty H. Lee

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Three groups of parents were given a nine week parent education course using Dinkmeyer and McKay's Systematic Training for Effective Parenting. Three control groups were given no training. Pretest and posttest data were obtained from all six groups to test the hypotheses: Training with the STEP program will change parent attitudes toward a less authoritarian parenting style, and these changes will result in fewer problems reported by the parents in child behavior. Using Ernhart and Loevinger's Authoritarian Ideology Scale no significant differences in authoritarianism were found after training [F(1,5) = 2.45, p = .123]. Using McKay's Adlerian Parental Assessment of …
