Development Of A Dme Simulator, Robert W. Brown Jan 1974

Development Of A Dme Simulator, Robert W. Brown

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This report summarizes the design of a DME (Distance Measuring Equipment) simulator to be used in the testing of an Area Navigation System. The purpose of the simulator is to generate a signal representing an aircraft's distance from a ground station. This information is in the form of two pulses whose separation represents that elapsed transmission time for an aircraft to receive a reply from the ground station to an interrogation by the aircraft. The pulse spacing must be selectable as fixed distances for static tests and as distance changing at a constant rate to simulate flying to or from …

Fugitive Particulate From Highway Construction, Kennard F. Kosky Jan 1974

Fugitive Particulate From Highway Construction, Kennard F. Kosky

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

National ambient air quality standards for particulate matter have been promulgated since April, 1971. While effects of stationary sources on these standards have been examined, little research has been accomplished on the effects of fugitive particulate. This thesis examines the environmental impact of a fugitive dust source, Highway Construction. Using the High-Volume reference method for particulate sampling, the effect of Highway construction was determined. An analysis of concentrations, distance influences, meteorological influences, particle sizes and construction influences is presented. The data obtained from this study indicates the major influence of concentrations is a function of distance and sampling height. Particle …

Electromagnetic Fields In Water Treatment, Robert H. Fagan Jan 1974

Electromagnetic Fields In Water Treatment, Robert H. Fagan

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Properties and characteristics of colloidal systems are reviewed with a discussion of colloid systems to be found in natural and wastewaters. Current electric and magnetic field theory are reviewed and summarized to provide practical application of the theory to engineering problems in the environmental field. Literature of colloidal reactions to electrical and magnetic fields is discussed and reviewed to ascertain areas of potential application of electric and magnetic phenomena to natural and wastewater treatment systems having objectionable colloid suspensions. It is concluded that application of electrical fields (electrophoresis) does not currently hold much promise for practical applications in water treatment …

The Effects Of Variations In The Excitation Parameters Of Blast Waves On The High Frequency Response Of Circular Rings, Paul John Mirabella Jan 1974

The Effects Of Variations In The Excitation Parameters Of Blast Waves On The High Frequency Response Of Circular Rings, Paul John Mirabella

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The high frequency response of a circular ring of rectangular cross section interior to a conical shell excited by a blast wave is examined. The ring supports a rigidly attached mass during excitation. It is hypothesized that the response is a function of the four excitation parameters which characterize the loading. These are: peak reflected pressure; characteristic time (pulse duration); wave engulfment time; and circumferential distribution. These parameters are varied over a range of interest in an effort to ascertain the structural sensitivity to such perturbations. A series of tests sponsored by the Department of the Army and the Martin …

An Application Of Hamilton's Principle To Diffraction Of Light By Ultrasound, Daniel F. Waterhouse Jan 1974

An Application Of Hamilton's Principle To Diffraction Of Light By Ultrasound, Daniel F. Waterhouse

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A covariant form of Hamilton's Principle of Stationary Action is formulated and used to solve the general eiconal equation describing the wave function of light in a medium carrying ultrasound. Tensor notation is reviewed and the tensor form of Maxwell's equations is developed. Boundary equation that the field quantities must satisfy in order for the variation of Hamilton's action integral to be stationary are determined and used to form the generalized eiconal equation of geometrical optics. The rays are introduced and through a canonical transformation the eiconal for the diffracted medium is solved and plotted.

A Simulation Study Of Guest Procedures In A Resort Hotel Complex, Bradley Barraclough Jan 1974

A Simulation Study Of Guest Procedures In A Resort Hotel Complex, Bradley Barraclough

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

At this time there is an increasing emphasis in Florida on developing large, multipurpose complexes which include shopping, entertainment, and accommodations for tourists. In all cases a major design problem is people transportation. For best efficiency the primary mode of transportation, the car, must be exchanged for other people movers within the complex, which will afford more security, flexibility, and better movement of people to their ultimate destination. Economically speaking, this would not only conserve fuel, but would allow consolidation of automobile parking into a less desirable area and the grouping of facilities for more shopping and recreation convenience. An …

Reduced Third Order Intermodulation Distortion Utilizing A Push-Pull Class C Vhf Transistorized Amplifier, Norman B. Mosher Jan 1974

Reduced Third Order Intermodulation Distortion Utilizing A Push-Pull Class C Vhf Transistorized Amplifier, Norman B. Mosher

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

In a transistorized push-pull amplifier, third order intermodulation distortion was effectively reduced at VHF frequencies with an output power of two watt. The non-linear distortion of the amplifier is modeled using a power series. The resulting expression is used as the basis for choosing the push-pull configuration to reduce the third order intermodulation distortion. The amplifier was built and tested, and the experimental results compare favorably with the theoretical results. The level of the third order intermodulation distortion is found to be at least 30 dB below the interfering signal level.

Analysis Of A Portable, One Hundred Ampere Pulse Test Current Microhmmeter, John Marshall Allred Jan 1974

Analysis Of A Portable, One Hundred Ampere Pulse Test Current Microhmmeter, John Marshall Allred

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This report is an analysis of the Model RT-2 Microhmmeter which is a portable apparatus using a pulse current power source in the measurement of load resistances in the microhm range. The need for accurately measuring resistances in the microhm range is quite real for testing electrical power circuit breaker contact resistance. Both during acceptance checking within the manufacturing process and in the field for preventative maintenance, contact resistance must be accurately determined. Before the invention of the Model RT-2 Micrometer, no device existed which could accurately measure resistances in the microhm range that was readily transported by an unaided …

Effects Of High Altitude Jet Aircraft On The Stratosphere, Dennis K. Bushnell Jul 1973

Effects Of High Altitude Jet Aircraft On The Stratosphere, Dennis K. Bushnell

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This paper presents a review of the basic thermal, chemical and radiation balances existing in the atmosphere and discusses the mechanisms by which jet engine exhaust products can disturb these balances. Possible effects of stratospheric pollution on plant and animal life are discussed. Methods for reducing harmful emissions through engine design modifications are outlined and current successful research programs are surveyed. The SST type aircraft is shown to be a greater threat to the environment than conventional jets because of differences in cruise altitudes. It is concluded that due to the existence of several potential environmental problems associated with contamination …

Remote Sensing Of Earth Resources System Capabilities V.S. Design Constraints, William Howard Grisham Jul 1973

Remote Sensing Of Earth Resources System Capabilities V.S. Design Constraints, William Howard Grisham

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

There is new evidence that global earth resources satellite net will be practical. This paper weighs recent advances in remote sensing to pinpoint the dominant constraints. The data and sensor systems interfacing requirements are critically reviewed. It is shown that conventional optics constraints can be relaxed, with the newer systems, based on multi-spectral imagery and statistical processing methods. The most powerful computational methods use algorithms based on a Gaussian assumption for the species vector in feature space, but biases in the imagery limit their efficiency. A rationale is proposed: improving the observational network calibrating efficiency will also improve the photogrammetric …
