Phosphorus Content And Release From Lake Sediments By Agitation, Hsien Ping Tang Oct 1978

Phosphorus Content And Release From Lake Sediments By Agitation, Hsien Ping Tang

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Man-made mixing in shallow lakes will resuspend bottom sediments and increase phosphorus concentration in the water body. The increase in phosphorus content may affect the lake productivity. During the course of this study, a better understanding of the water-sediment-phosphorus relationships of some shallow lakes in Central Florida was attempted. Column studies and batch experiments were used to investigate the effect of mechanical mixing on the release of phosphorus from bottom sediments collected from Lake Claire and Jessup. The particle size distribution and density distribution of the bottom sediments were studied and the release of phosphorus from each fraction was measured. …

The Design And Analysis Of A Unique Broadband Underwater Acoustic Source, Allan Mark Young Oct 1978

The Design And Analysis Of A Unique Broadband Underwater Acoustic Source, Allan Mark Young

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Requirements exist for a unique type of underwater acoustic source. The transducer is in the form of a linear array of discrete elements and is required to have a constants transmitting voltage response and carefully controlled directivity characteristics over a two octave bandwidth. A generalized model of a linear array of cylindrical piezoelectric ceramic acoustic radiators is developed and applied to the design of a prototype which operates over approximately one half of the required bandwidth. The prototype transducer was built and the measured results are compared with those predicted by the model. Recommendations are made for improving the performance …

An Analysis Of The Effect Of Vibration Sensitivity On Hydrophone Design, George Dickson Hugus Oct 1978

An Analysis Of The Effect Of Vibration Sensitivity On Hydrophone Design, George Dickson Hugus

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Hydrophones used in the ocean produce spurious outputs due to vibration sensitivity which can severely degrade measurement accuracy. Sources of these vibration inputs are ocean surface waves, flow turbulence, and induced mechanical vibration. The hydrophone response to these vibrations is a noise voltage output. This can leave to a signal-to-noise problem particularly when measurements of small sound pressure levels are to be made. The objective of this thesis is to analyze the vibration response of three typical piezoelectric hydrophone sensor elements configurations and give design methods and constraints for reducing the problem of vibration sensitivity to an acceptable level. The …

A Computer Model For Comparison Of Flat Plate And Focusing Collectors For Solar Air Conditioning, H. B. Bucher Jul 1978

A Computer Model For Comparison Of Flat Plate And Focusing Collectors For Solar Air Conditioning, H. B. Bucher

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Two types of solar collecting systems are frequently employed--flat plate collectors with spectrally selective windows which trap sunlight with the "greenhouse effect" and focusing systems with curved mirrors which concentrate the sun's rays on an absorbing surface. The flat plate collector is the simpler of the two designs, but cannot readily provide temperatures as high as the focusing collector. Both of the collectors are candidates for absorption cycle solar air conditioning systems. This role dictates higher temperature than are normally required of solar collectors, particularly the flat plate design. Focusing systems of interest here are those which are fixed in …

A Case Study Of A Solar Augmented Heating System Versus A Solar Assisted Heat Pump, Louis P. Braleski Jul 1978

A Case Study Of A Solar Augmented Heating System Versus A Solar Assisted Heat Pump, Louis P. Braleski

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The usage and applications of solar energy are numerous; however, it's still in its infancy. The subject matter discusses two applications of solar energy, a "Solar Augmented Heated System" and a "Solar Assisted Heat Pump." The solar augmented system and the solar assisted system have the same components; however, the way they are used is of primary concern. A solar system in parallel with a heat pump is called "Solar Augmented Heating System" or in series with a heat pump is a "Solar Assisted Heat Pump." A 2000 ft2 house was utilized as the basis of the design. The heating …

Site Selection For Air Pollution Monitoring In The Vicinity Of Point Sources, John C. Brown Jan 1978

Site Selection For Air Pollution Monitoring In The Vicinity Of Point Sources, John C. Brown

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Ever since air pollution became a national concern in the 1950's, more and more emphasis has been placed on collection of representative air samples for many purposed, to include (1) evaluation of the degree to which national ambient air quality standards are being met and (2) to monitor maximum emission levels from point sources. Until recently efforts were directed toward qualitative methods of siting monitors for representative sampling. Since the dispersion of effluents is most complex, the quality of the data collected on the basis of judgment and, more or less, incremental siting about the source, has become suspect. Furthermore, …

Investigations Of Inertia Effects On An Infinite Solid Cylinder Due To Thermal Shock, Roland Vanderbilt Williams Jan 1978

Investigations Of Inertia Effects On An Infinite Solid Cylinder Due To Thermal Shock, Roland Vanderbilt Williams

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

In this paper the effects of inertia are explored for the case of a thermal excitation applied on the surface of an infinitely long, solid circular cylinder. The linear uncoupled field equations for a homogeneous, isotropic, thermoelastic medium are used to derive the desired field equations of stress and displacement. The solution procedure included, first, the determination of the thermal boundary value problem from the energy equation which is identically satisfied for the uncoupled condition. Secondly, substitution of the strain-displacement relationships and the previously obtained thermal relation into the equilibrium equation containing inertial effects. The equilibrium equation is the only …

Digital Computer Analysis Of The Kinetic Response Of A Thermal Pressurized Water Reactor Power Plant, John F. Alburger Jan 1978

Digital Computer Analysis Of The Kinetic Response Of A Thermal Pressurized Water Reactor Power Plant, John F. Alburger

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A digital computer model has been developed to simulate the kinetic response of a thermal pressurized water reactor power plant. The program is capable of predicting core power and plant temperature variations which result from disturbances due to routine demand changes, control rod movement, and fission product poison transients as well as from transients during plausible accident situations. The development of the differential equations describing the influence of various primary plant components on the dynamics of the reactor have been heretofore documented in the literature. Finite difference equations facilitating the employment of a digital computer solution are fully derived. Confidence …

The Vapor Phase Oxidation Of 1, 3-Pentadiene, David E. Sasser Jan 1978

The Vapor Phase Oxidation Of 1, 3-Pentadiene, David E. Sasser

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The vapor phase oxidation of 1.3-pentadiene, over heterogeneous catalysts, was investigated with the objective of producing 2,4-pentadienal and 2,4-pentadienoic acid. Copper and cobalt-molybdenum catalysts, both supported and unsupported, were utilized at various reaction temperatures, residence times and feed ratios. The matter of 1,3-pentadiene vaporization and introduction into the reactor system proved to be critical. Low temperature vaporization of the hydrocarbon and dilution with the oxidant, air, was found to be necessary to avoid polymerization of the feed. Alumina-supported catalysts were found to be very active, leading to severe cracking of the hydrocarbon feed and subsequent carbonization of the catalysts. Silica-supported …

The Limits Of The Effects Of Machiavellianism On Bargaining Success In Triads, Harry M. Leith Jan 1978

The Limits Of The Effects Of Machiavellianism On Bargaining Success In Triads, Harry M. Leith

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Understanding the processes of communication during mixed-motive bargaining in coalition depends to a great extent upon comprehension of the variables which affect it. Certainly one of the most important variables of such communication is the influence of personality effect upon the bargaining outcomes. One personality variable, Machiavellianism, is strongly related to manipulative behavior. This thesis examines both the effects of Machiavellianism on bargaining success in face-to-face triads, and explores the limits of those effects relative to task orientation and personality type disclosure. It was found that Machiavellians are more able bargainers only so long as the nature and identity of …
