Synthesis And Flame Retardant Studies Of Bromoester Of 2,4-Pentadienoic Acid, Hessam Ghane Jan 1978

Synthesis And Flame Retardant Studies Of Bromoester Of 2,4-Pentadienoic Acid, Hessam Ghane

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The synthesis and fire retardancy of several bromoesters of 2,4-pentadienoic acid were investigated. The synthesis of 2,4-pentadienoic acid was accomplished by liquid phase reaction of acrolein and malonic acid in the presence of pyridine. The conversion of the acid to bromoesters was performed by two different procedures. In the first procedure, the corresponding acid chloride was prepared from the acid via reaction with SOCl2 in the presence of powdered (3A°) molecular sieves. The molecular sieves serve as an internal trap for by-product HC1 and inhibit the competing polymerization reaction of the acid chloride. Reaction of the acid chloride with various …

Design Curves For Groundwater Mounds Beneath Recharging Basins, Jack Weinstein Jan 1978

Design Curves For Groundwater Mounds Beneath Recharging Basins, Jack Weinstein

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Design curves are developed to simplify solution of the Hantush (1967) equation for groundwater mound build-up under a rectangular recharge basin. Curves are developed by analyzing a large number of solutions to the theoretical equation. Two sets of curves are developed, one for build-up beneath the center of the basin, the second for build-up anywhere in the field. Center-point curves are presented for 3 basins with length to width ratios of 2 to 1, and were easily developed. The more generalized curves are developed for the limited case of a 200 ft by 100 ft basin and are complicated by …

Simulation Of Domestic Hot Water System Using Trnsys, Mohammed Shafi Uz Zaman Jan 1978

Simulation Of Domestic Hot Water System Using Trnsys, Mohammed Shafi Uz Zaman

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A Transient Simulation program (TRNSYS) was used to formulate the simulation of a domestic hot water system. Solar percent utilization and collector efficiency was observed for different set temperatures and hot water demand. The effect of hot water demand pattern on these parameters was likewise investigated. Regression analysis was used to forecast solar percent utilization with respect to set temperature and daily hot water demand.

Nose Tip Recession Measuring System For Hypersonic Test Vehicles, James Anthony Brown Jan 1977

Nose Tip Recession Measuring System For Hypersonic Test Vehicles, James Anthony Brown

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A method is presented which permits the measure of nose tip recession of re-entry vehicles and advanced terminal interceptors by employing a double choked flow coolant gas system. Recession of the tip results in an increased exit flow area which reduces the total pressure of the gas in the blast tube. Measurement of the blast tube pressure and gas generator (chamber) pressure will produce an effective measurement of the nose tip recession as long as choked flow (i.e., sonic velocity) is maintained in both the tip exit area and the gas generator throat area. Governing flow equations documented in the …

High Pressure Hydraulic Supply System Model, William H. Mock Jan 1977

High Pressure Hydraulic Supply System Model, William H. Mock

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A mathematical model is derived to provide quasi-steady state predictions of the performance of a high pressure hydraulic supply system, using equations which govern the physical processes as opposed to equations which match input-output characteristics. Model equations are developed to describe the operation of the power source, control valves, energy source, gas side of the system, hydraulic accumulator, the motorpump, and hydraulic side of the system. The accuracy of the model is then checked by inserting known parameters from a previously developed control system and comparing model predictions with performance data from this system.

Modeling The Silicon Solar Cell As An Optical Detector, Leo Albert Mallette Jan 1977

Modeling The Silicon Solar Cell As An Optical Detector, Leo Albert Mallette

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Solar cells have traditionally been used for a direct sunlight to energy conversion, and there has been relatively little investigation into their use as a low data rate optical detector. This report summarizes the results of experimental work to model a silicon solar cell, and its response to a pulse of light. A lumped circuit model, and governing equations for each of the elements is developed. Experimental data on several cells are used to curve fit the governing equations. The parameters of interest are tested as a function of both temperature, and background illumination. Having derived a working model, using …

Aggregate Production Planning Techniques And Comparison, Fariborz Mazaheri Jan 1977

Aggregate Production Planning Techniques And Comparison, Fariborz Mazaheri

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Aggregate production planning models are of the greatest importance to operations management, since these plans enable management to utilize the major resources at its command. In this report the structure of the aggregate planning problem and a number of different approaches are reviewed and presented. Approaches are classified in three categories: a) workforce smoothing models, b) production smoothing models, c) production and workforce models. The models are compared with respect to the cost structure, parameters estimation, forecast requirement, decision variables, computability and optimization techniques.

The Silicon Solar Cell As An Optical Detector, Stephen O. Saltsman Jan 1977

The Silicon Solar Cell As An Optical Detector, Stephen O. Saltsman

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The optical detector characteristics of a silicon solar cell are examined. A general equivalent circuit model is developed and typical parameter values are determined. A comparison is made between the photovoltaic and short circuit operating modes and the short circuit mode is shown to be preferable in terms of linearity, extended frequency response, and temperature stability. A method is developed to determine the noise characteristics of the amplifier-detector system used in the short circuit mode. The silicon solar cell is shown to be an economical alternative to standard photodiodes in low to medium data rate systems.

Spruce Creek Watershed Non-Point Source Loading Model, James L. Smoot

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The pollutant transport from watershed to receiving waters is modeled for Spruce Creek basin. The data requirements for such a model are: daily rainfall; monthly lake evaporation; soil and land use breakdown; water quality history for the main indicators, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, suspended solids, and total organic carbon; surface flow and interflow delay coefficients; channel flow time; daily flow gage records; and channel flow characteristics. The model uses the SCS runoff curve number method to generate rainfall excess where the antecedent conditions are varied daily by a water budget analysis. The direct runoff is delayed and routed by the …

Sediment Resuspension Due To Waves Generated By Recreational Motorboats In Shallow Lakes, Carl R. Larrabee Jan 1977

Sediment Resuspension Due To Waves Generated By Recreational Motorboats In Shallow Lakes, Carl R. Larrabee

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Sediment resuspension due to the operation of recreational motorboats in shallow lakes was investigated. Boats equipped with 28, 50, 85, 120, and 165 horsepower engines were used for this study on Lake Claire, Florida Technological University campus, and Lake Mizell, the City of Winter Park, located in Orange County, Central Florida. Grasshopper Lake was also a test site due to its clarity for underwater photography. These motorboats were run at different speeds and water depths and the induced pressure waves on the lake bottom were measured using a hydrophone and recording system. Primary and secondary wave amplitudes and frequencies were …
