A Study Of Finite Element Grid Optimizations, James G. Ladesic Jan 1973

A Study Of Finite Element Grid Optimizations, James G. Ladesic

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Any structural analysis which gives stresses and displacements for some predefined structure is governed by some physical domain of loading, geometry and boundary conditions. Let this domain be called the structures "problem space." In applying finite element analysis, the solution to any one problem space may be one of many admissible solutions all of which satisfy some given set of boundary conditions. Admissibility is determined by the stated problem with its boundary conditions along with computer storage capacity considerations. Obtaining the most exact approximate solutions is one of major concern to insure adequate results. This problem has been approached from …

The Application Of System Dynamics Techniques To War Game Modeling, G. Vincent Amico Jan 1973

The Application Of System Dynamics Techniques To War Game Modeling, G. Vincent Amico

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Military War Gaming has developed from the chess-like games to the elaborate computer simulations of today, using high-speed, general-purpose, digital computers. This Research Report will briefly review modern war-game developments with emphasis on real-time training systems. The application of system dynamics techniques developed by Jay W. Forrester to war-game modeling is explored. A simple destroyer versus submarine model is developed. Results indicate that the system dynamics modeling technique is a powerful and effective tool. However, the Dynamo language could be substantially improved by a more powerful logical statement capability.

Wastewater Treatment Plant Control, David Milton Knowles Jan 1972

Wastewater Treatment Plant Control, David Milton Knowles

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This report is the result of investigation of the feasibility of increasing the use of autamatic controls at the Florida Technological University Wastewater Treatment Plant. This investigation was to include a literature search and visits to wastewater treatment plants. During the writers course of study, he was privileged to make a series of tests of a residual chlorine analyzer which was made in the school shop. Since this work was closely related to automatic controls the data are included in this report.

Solid Waste Management At Florida Technological University, Robert F. Hever Jan 1972

Solid Waste Management At Florida Technological University, Robert F. Hever

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This paper is a report on a study of the management of solid wastes at Florida Technological University (FTU). This study endeavors to provide a basis for effective planning for disposal of FTU's solid wastes, both in the next few years and at the time of maximum FTU population. Essentially, the study affirms that the present system of refuse collection by a private contractor is the best method of disposal, with the possibility that recycling of mixed paper may become feasible at some future time.

Analog Computer Simulation Of Glomerulus Filtration In The Renal System, Earl W. Preston Jan 1972

Analog Computer Simulation Of Glomerulus Filtration In The Renal System, Earl W. Preston

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The first separation process in the kidneys occurs in the glomerulus where the blood plasma is filtered from the larger protein and blood cells. It is the object of this thesis to: 1) Simulate the volume flow equation (1) through the capillary vasculate of the kidney with the analog computer, and 2) Show quantitatively as well as qualitatively the effect of various parameter changes on the volume flow rate.

Theoretical Predictions Of Flow Profiles In Capillary Blood Vessels, Eileen Hallman Jan 1972

Theoretical Predictions Of Flow Profiles In Capillary Blood Vessels, Eileen Hallman

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this thesis is to illustrate the nature of blood flow within capillaries by using familiar mathematical techniques. Because the circulatory system is so complex, the fluid dynamics of the system is prefaced by a discussion of the circulatory physiology in terms of geometry and physics. The understanding of the basic structures and functions of the circulatory components necessarily precedes the justification of assumptions. Several mathematical models which attempt to describe the fluid dynamics of blood flow phenomena are presented and discussed. The results of these models are correlated with existing experimental data in order to determine which …

Remote Sensing Of Environmental Parameters, Wendell Princeton Perkins Jan 1972

Remote Sensing Of Environmental Parameters, Wendell Princeton Perkins

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Atmospheric pollution in some degree has been around since time began. In recent times it has reached levels in some areas which proved to be harmful to man's health. A brief history review of these occurrences is presented. Laws have been enacted to combat this threat. A brief review of these laws is presented. Instruments for remote sensing of polluting sources are being developed to monitor ambient air quality and aid in enforcing these laws. A review of the techniques employed and the present state of the art is explored. Available instruments are presented in section III-5.

Localized Wastewater Treatment Facilities, Robert Russell Garrett Jan 1972

Localized Wastewater Treatment Facilities, Robert Russell Garrett

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The report describes an alternative to the use of septic tanks for invidual dwellings. The major problems confronting the larger wastewater treatment plants (0.012 to 10 million gallons per day) in central Florida are also discussed. Solutions in this report are for individual and multi-unit dwelling treatment systems (to 0.06 MGD). these units can provide 90% biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and suspended solids (SS) removal in accord with new state and county regulations. A comparison of the large versus the small plants reveals that small innovative plants, though more expensive, are more environmentally sound than the poorly operated large facilities. …

Conversion And Validation Of Sigart Program, A Progressive Traffic Signal Lights System Computer Model, Dennis F. Troyan Jan 1972

Conversion And Validation Of Sigart Program, A Progressive Traffic Signal Lights System Computer Model, Dennis F. Troyan

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this research paper was to translate a Computer Model (SIGART), capable of simulating a progressive traffic signal lights system, from Burroughs B5500 FORTRAN II to the IBM 360 FORTRAN IV computer language, to outline the program algorithm, to set up detailed program documentation and to validate this model by applying practical system data. Expansion of the SIGART program by addition of an option to produce a time space plot of the output data utilizing a Calcomp plotter was also to be considered.

The Restoration Of Lake Waters, Charles James Boyter Jan 1972

The Restoration Of Lake Waters, Charles James Boyter

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Lake restoration procedures are reviewed with the objective of making recommendations toward future lake restorations for central Florida lakes. The progress of drawdown for restoration is examined. A total phosphorus model is developed for Lake Eola to predict the success of the drawdown. No one restoration procedure should be applied to every lake in central Florida. Each situation must be studied separately. It appears that lake drawdown was the best technique to use for Lake Eola. However, the stormwater inputs and free-flowing drains must be purified to insure the success of the drawdown or the Lake will return within the …
