A Cavity Absorber For A Focusing Solar Collector, Andrew W. Crapo
A Cavity Absorber For A Focusing Solar Collector, Andrew W. Crapo
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
The concept of a cavity absorber for use with a focusing parabolic trough is developed in this paper. A mathematical model is formulated and used to compare different absorber geometries. Limitations of the model are discussed and within the range of materials and fabrication methods available, the choice of a cylindrical cavity is substantiated. Relative sizes of the gap and cylinder are chosen for a given mirror arc length, focal length, and alignment error. The model is used to optimize these parameters and predict absorber and collector efficiency. The processes of building and testing the absorber are detailed, and test …
Statistical Fading Of A Spherical Optical Wave In Atmospheric Turbulence, Lorraine M. Locke
Statistical Fading Of A Spherical Optical Wave In Atmospheric Turbulence, Lorraine M. Locke
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
A formula for the average fade time of the intensity of a spherical optical wave travelling through atmospheric turbulence is developed. The model employed involves isotropic, homogeneous statistics using a lognormal distribution for the channel. The analysis is based on the fact that the logarithm of the irradiance is normally distributed and uses the work of S. O. Rice who developed such an expression for a zero mean, Gaussian process. The analysis employs the covariance function and the Taylor frozen turbulence hypothesis which results in an expression for the autocorrelation function.
Electromagnetic Wave Scattering From A Rough Surface, Elie G. Nacouzi
Electromagnetic Wave Scattering From A Rough Surface, Elie G. Nacouzi
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
This was a study to measure surface roughness using scattering of electromagnetic waves in the Ka and X microwave frequency bands. The detected fluctuations of the reflected field intensity is a measure of surface roughness. The reflected field intensity depends on the wavelength, the angle of incidence and the electrical properties of the media. Since the surface presents irregularities with randomly distributed facets, the characteristics of the rough-surface reflected wave can only be described by the statistical properties of the field intensity. The dependence of the normalized moments of the returned scatter on distance from the rough surface to the …
A Study On The Concentration Of Citrus Essential Oils By Adsorption, Albert Joseph Kruger
A Study On The Concentration Of Citrus Essential Oils By Adsorption, Albert Joseph Kruger
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Deterpenation by concentration of the flavor bearing oxygenated compounds present in Citrus Essential Oils using the column chromatographic method and the parameters affecting the adsorption of these oxygenated compounds at maximum economy versus reasonable efficiency in separation from the non-oxygenated compounds have been studied. Particular attention was given to the maximum number of adsorption-desorption-regeneration cycles that a single column charge could be subjected to before the adsorbent should be replaced. The results of this study suggested the following conditions are of importance with regard to the development of an efficient and economic operation: 1) deactivation of the silica gel column …
The Effects Of Introducing Skewness Into Capital Rationing Decision Models, Edet Jonathan Ekere
The Effects Of Introducing Skewness Into Capital Rationing Decision Models, Edet Jonathan Ekere
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
When investment projects are described by subjective probability distributions, the measure of investment worth becomes a difficult task. One of the basic assumptions underlying investment analysis under risk is that decision makers would base their decisions on only the first two statistical moments of the probability distribution of returns. However, the mean and variance can adequately describe only certain symmetric distributions such as the normal and the uniform distributions. As a result, if probability distributions of investment returns are actually asymmetric, the classic first two moments analysis ignores information (skewness) that is needed to make a better investment decision. Even …
Optimum Monotonic Step Response Filters, Peter H. Halpern
Optimum Monotonic Step Response Filters, Peter H. Halpern
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
The problem of designing sharp cutoff filters with monotonic step responses is addressed. The impulse responses of the filters are expanded in terms of finite duration trigonometric polynomials. The coefficients of the trigonometric polynomials are obtained, for arbitrary frequency penalty functions, by solving a generalized eigenvalue problem. Once the trigonometric polynomial is specified the network can be synthesized with known techniques. Two theorems which assist in the numerical solution are proven.

An Investigation Into The Solution Of Three Dimensional Elastostatic Problems Using The Boundary Integral Technique, David Campbell Aldrich
An Investigation Into The Solution Of Three Dimensional Elastostatic Problems Using The Boundary Integral Technique, David Campbell Aldrich
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
The boundary integral technique was implemented in a computer code for the general static analysis of three dimensional elastic solids. The was based on a formulation of the problem in which the governing boundary equation is developed from the known solution to Kelvin's problem, by the application of Betti's reciprocal relationship. Modeling the boundary of the region being analyzed with plane elements and assuming the tractions and displacements constant across these elements leads to a set of simultaneous algebraic equations approximating the boundary integral equation. Numerical techniques are used in the computer code to assemble and solve this set of …

Cyclodimerization Of 1,3-Pentadiene With Homogeneous Nickel Catalyst, Morteza Soltani
Cyclodimerization Of 1,3-Pentadiene With Homogeneous Nickel Catalyst, Morteza Soltani
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Piperylene concentrate is a complex mixture of 5-carbon unsaturated hydrocarbons obtained as by-products when naptha or gas oils are cracked. The major component in this mixture is 1,3-pentadiene. The cyclodimerization of 1,3-pentadience in piperylene concentrate by using a nickel catalyst was studied. Various types of ligands were used in the preparation of the nickel catalyst. The effect of each ligand on activity of the catalyst in dimerization of diene, on conversion, and on yield of reaction were investigated. The effect of reaction conditions, such as temperature, pressure, and reaction time, on conversion of monomer, yield of dimer, and selectivity of …
Fade Time Statistics Of Laser Light Propagating Through Turbulent Atmosphere, Madjid A. Belkerdid
Fade Time Statistics Of Laser Light Propagating Through Turbulent Atmosphere, Madjid A. Belkerdid
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
The average fade time of the fluctuations in the intensity of laser light propagation in the atmosphere is analyzed. Experimental results show that the average fade time for a propagation distance of 208 meters, in the weak turbulence regime, is well described by formulas developed from a Log-Normal distribution. A circuit that calculates real time statistics of fade time is designed, then validated using a sine wave input whose fade time statistics are predetermined. The experimental signal is then tested for stationarity, and the average fade time is measured. A curve fitting is then performed for the experimental data and …
Design And Analysis Of An Explosive Driven Hydrodynamic Conical Shock Tube, Leonard W. Connell
Design And Analysis Of An Explosive Driven Hydrodynamic Conical Shock Tube, Leonard W. Connell
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
An explosive driven, water filled, conical shock tube was designed and evaluated regarding its ability to amplify a charge weight and to produce hydrodynamic spherical shock waves. The results show that the shock waves in the tube are essentially spherical in nature--with an initial exponential shape, peak pressure attenuation as (1/R)1.13 and the time constant spreading roughly as (R).22. The charge weight was amplified by a factor of 3600 compared to a theoretical amplification of 7770. An estimate of the energy absorbed by the breach plug (which houses the charge) during an explosion was performed. The peak pressure data taken …
A Monte Carlo Approach To Ridge Discriminant Analysis, Lee Wooldridge
A Monte Carlo Approach To Ridge Discriminant Analysis, Lee Wooldridge
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
A combined analytical and empirical method to define human performance measures is required for effective automated training. In theory, performance measures can be weighted and combined in a single first order equation upon which an automated training system can track a student's comparative skill level. A form of multivariate discriminant analysis was the statistical technique incorporated into the measurement selection and weighting scheme. (Vreuls and Wooldridge 1977). As with regression analysis, this discriminant technique was subject to debilitating problems such as overfit and undesirable inaccuracies in the coefficients. The author developed and implemented an adjustment to the discriminant function analogous …
