A Study Of Differences In Vertical Phosphorus Profiles Within The Sediments Of Selected Florida Lakes As Related To Trophic Dynamics, Edgar Allen Stewart Iii Jan 1976

A Study Of Differences In Vertical Phosphorus Profiles Within The Sediments Of Selected Florida Lakes As Related To Trophic Dynamics, Edgar Allen Stewart Iii

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Several Florida lakes with different documented trophic state indices were selected for sediment analysis. Vertical sections of the sediment were taken at depths of .1, .5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 and l5 centimeters below the surface of the sediment-water interface. Total Phosphorus analysis was done on each section. The profile presented was then evaluated and was found that the profiles best fit the equation Y = X/ (A + BX), where Y is the Phosphorus Concentration in ppm and X is the sediment depth in cm. Correlation between the trophic state and the profiles characteristics are presented. …

Analytical And Experimental Investigation Of Pumped Solar Hot Water Systems, Jeffrey B. Pearce Jan 1976

Analytical And Experimental Investigation Of Pumped Solar Hot Water Systems, Jeffrey B. Pearce

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A transient computer model of a forced circulation solar hot water system has been developed. The model allows for capacitance effects by solving the energy balances on a four node model of the solar collector. The tank model is designed to include the presence of an auxiliary heater and to allow for the nonideal condition of load drawoff. Five tests were done to validate the computer model. These tests include a comparison of the computer simulation with experimental data and a model available in the literature. The results of these tests indicate that the computer model is able to predict …

Mass Loadings Of Selected Water Quality Parameters For The State Of Florida, Charles D. Miller Jan 1976

Mass Loadings Of Selected Water Quality Parameters For The State Of Florida, Charles D. Miller

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The mass loadings of pollutants common in surface waters result from the discharges of many different sources. In the last few years it has been noted that nonpoint sources contribute more pollutants than point sources. This is because in many cases the point source discharges have been, by law, reduced drastically. In the State of Florida many water quality parameters were examined to estimate the mass loadings in streams related to, drainage area, average flow, land use, soil type and management practices. A total of sixteen streams were examined. The information was first calculated for mass loadings as a function …

Application Of Solar Energy To The Solvent Reclamation Industry, Arthur H. Litka Jan 1976

Application Of Solar Energy To The Solvent Reclamation Industry, Arthur H. Litka

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

An analysis of an operational industrial acetone reclamation system is performed to ascertain the possibility of its adaptation of solar thermal energy augmentation using fixed orientation, flat plate solar collectors. Currently, the system utilizes and oil fired heater for the thermal input. The water is heated to 185°F (85°C) and circulated through a heat exchanger which is immersed within the contaminated acetone solution. The solvent is thereby vaporized, condensed, and drawn off for reuse. Analytical models of two possible configurations utilizing a series of commercially available, flat plate solar collectors, a hot water storage tank, and an oil fired auxiliary …

A Computer Simulation Of A Weapons Fire Simulator Modeled By Sceptre As An Optical Communication Channel, John James Cormack Jan 1976

A Computer Simulation Of A Weapons Fire Simulator Modeled By Sceptre As An Optical Communication Channel, John James Cormack

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This paper presents a method of simulating various noise sources in a Weapons Fire Simulator System which has been modeled as an Optical Communication Channel. This Weapons Fire Simulator System is composed of laser transmitters mounted on weapons that fire blank cartridges, and laser receivers mounted on targets. The laser transmitter sends out 'kill' beam pulses to the target whenever blank cartridges are fired. Detection of these pulses at the target signifies a 'hit'. The entire system along with the optical communication channel is simulated in a general purpose computer program called SCEPTRE. This analysis package is an efficient means …

Analytical And Experimental Investigation Of Thermosyphon Solar Hot Water Systems, William E. Clark Jan 1976

Analytical And Experimental Investigation Of Thermosyphon Solar Hot Water Systems, William E. Clark

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A computer simulation of a thermosyphon system allowing load drawoff and non-ideal weather conditions has been developed. The model is restricted to the more common single cover, flat plate collector system. Using an analysis based on the present literature, this model calculates the energy absorbed by the collector, the temperature distribution through the system, and the corresponding flow rate. Experimental data for a non-ideal day is compared to the computer simulation. Results of this comparison indicate that the desired parameters, flow rate, collector inlet and outlet temperatures, and the mean tank temperature can be predicted by this model to within …

Torque-Speed Linearization Of A D.C. Servo System, Nicholas A. Mantello Jan 1976

Torque-Speed Linearization Of A D.C. Servo System, Nicholas A. Mantello

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

In early 1973 Professor Fred O. Simons Jr., of Florida Technological University, suggested the topic for this research report. During control engineering discussions, it was proposed that a D.C. Shunt Motor could be constrained to perform in an idealized sense for the static case. The purpose of this report is to provide a reasonably comprehensive examination of a control which linearizes the torque-speed relationship of a dc servo system. The fundamental goal is to determine a control which linearizes the torque-speed output relation of a system, in which a dc shunt motor is under basic armature control. Consequently, the emphasis …

Vapor Phase Oxidation Of Chloropropenes Over Heterogeneous Catalyst Systems, Tim Ellis Owen Jan 1976

Vapor Phase Oxidation Of Chloropropenes Over Heterogeneous Catalyst Systems, Tim Ellis Owen

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Propylene Dichloride (PDC) is a byproduct of several Dow processes. The thermal cracking of PDC produces 1-cis-chloropropene, 1-trans-chloropropene, 2-chloropropene, and allyl chloride . By oxidizing the l- and 2-chloropropenes to 3- and 2- chloroacrylic acids, respectively, a potentially valuable product could be made. The chloropropenes, air, and steam were passed over various heterogeneous oxidation catalyst systems to attempt this oxidation. Contact time was varied between 0.0951 to 0.915 sec. Temperature was varied between 275C to .25C. The air content of the feed was varied between .1 to 75%. The chloropropene content of the feed was varied between 2.9% to 5.0% …

A Diffraction Model For Prediction Of Radar Signal Attenuation By A Rocket Exhaust Plume, Douglas Harrison Sphar Jan 1976

A Diffraction Model For Prediction Of Radar Signal Attenuation By A Rocket Exhaust Plume, Douglas Harrison Sphar

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This report documents the development of a method of estimating the signal attenuation induced by a rocket exhaust plume. The method is applicable to the early system design phase of high energy solid propellant rockets that produce highly ionized exhaust plumes. The method is based on the premise that when a plume is highly ionized, observed signal levels can be explained by assuming the signal propagates around the plume. A simple diffraction at a straight edge model is developed and compared to measured data. The report also provides an overview of exhaust plume electromagnetics and surveys prediction techniques.
