Economics Of Residential Heat Recovery Units, Muhammad N. Redhwi Apr 1981

Economics Of Residential Heat Recovery Units, Muhammad N. Redhwi

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Determining residential airconditioning waste heat recovery system costs and savings is achieved using a computer program. A worksheet is designed to accept consumer data as an input to the program. The program features load and waste heat recovery calculations on a monthly basis. Economic criteria, including rate of return, present worth, and payback period are computed. Sensitivity of these criteria to fuel escalation and consumer discount rate is demonstrated. the program provides the user with both thermal analysis and economic analysis summary reports.

An Experimental Comparison Of Cross Correlator Performances Based Upon Signal-To-Noise Ratios, Sunder G. Gopani Apr 1981

An Experimental Comparison Of Cross Correlator Performances Based Upon Signal-To-Noise Ratios, Sunder G. Gopani

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Three commonly employed types of cross correlators were designed using standardized components which closely simulate idealized elements in an effort to experimentally verify the theoretical analysis. These cross correlators are (1) the standard analog cross correlator which consists of bandpass filters, a multiplier and a postmultiplier lowpass filter, (2) the polarity coincidence correlator (PCC) which utilizes a hard clipper in each input channel, and (3) a modified type of PCC which features a hard clipper in only one of the input channels. Two different types of filters viz. (1) the seventh-order Butterworth lowpass filter, and (2) the five-pole Chebyshev lowpass …

Digital Acoustic Tracking Analysis Program, George H. Ford Apr 1981

Digital Acoustic Tracking Analysis Program, George H. Ford

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this report is to investigate the processing of tracking data for acoustic targets. The programs developed for two- and three- dimensional space calculate the target's position via "hyperbolic-fix" navigation (geometric) considerations using the Newton-Raphson algorithm. The computer programs and the tracking solution approach contained herein is based on knowledge of only the sensors' locations and the relative time-difference at which a target's referenced, singular, acoustic pressure wavefronts are received at the sensors. Omnidirectional sensors are found to be sufficient for the two-dimensional space tracking problem. However, it is found that the three-space problem required usage of directional …

The Diversity And Abundance Of The Benthic Macroinvertebrates In An Oligo-Mesotrophic Central Florida Lake, Jeffrey F. Spence Apr 1981

The Diversity And Abundance Of The Benthic Macroinvertebrates In An Oligo-Mesotrophic Central Florida Lake, Jeffrey F. Spence

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Benthic macroinvertebrates and physicochemical parameters were sampled monthly in Spring Lake, Florida from July, 1978, to June, 1979. Spring Lake is a slightly acidic, sand bottom lake located in the sandhill region of the Central Highlands. While submersed vegetation is not dense, the lake does contain an abundance of the endemic submersed plant Mayaca aubletii. The littoral zone is dominated by plants belonging to the genera Panicum, Nuphar, Hydrocotyle, Nymphaea, Satittaria, and Typha. The benthic macroinvertebrates collected consisted of 51 species; approximately 50 percent were in the family Chironomidae. The annual mean number of individuals was 947/m2. The mayfly Hexagenia …

Comparative Study Of Inflation Techniques Currently Used In Engineering Economy Studies, Thinh P. Dong Apr 1981

Comparative Study Of Inflation Techniques Currently Used In Engineering Economy Studies, Thinh P. Dong

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Recent increases in inflation rates make it essential that inflation be considered and properly treated in engineering economic studies. This research report presents a survey to determine how practitioners of engineering economics are accounting for inflation in their studies. After looking at inflation in general, and defining it, this report identifies the major existing techniques of handling inflation. It then discusses each in terms of advantages and disadvantage in evaluating investment projects. Finally, the report recommends an appropriate technique, and presents a computer program which calculates the present worth based on this technique which permits the user to analyze the …
