Nitrogen Transformation In Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plants, Mark Lee Morris Jan 1975

Nitrogen Transformation In Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plants, Mark Lee Morris

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plant and animal life; however, its presence in concentrations exceeding assimilative capacities of receiving water bodies is undesirable. Therefore, the form and concentration of total nitrogen released in wastewater effluents is of great concern. During the course of this study, the nitrogen analysis was performed on the various unit processes of the Florida Technological University wastewater treatment plant. The average percent removal of nitrogen between plant influent and clarifier effluent was 30.5% during the month of August 1975. It is believed that the nitrogen removal is attributed to luxury uptake by the biomass through …

Stabilization System Environmental Disturbance Modeling And Analysis, Lawrence E. Sieb Jan 1975

Stabilization System Environmental Disturbance Modeling And Analysis, Lawrence E. Sieb

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Systems that operate in airborne environments and rely on the resolution provided by optical sensors require a stabilization system to isolate the line-of-sight (LOS) from the operating environment. For systems employing television sensors, stabilization accuracy is of prime importance in maintaining sufficient picture resolution to allow target identification and recognition at maximum ranges. The development of system models that accurately predict stabilization performance is important both in design trade-offs and in the system design and testing [l]. Two basic concepts are available for achieving LOS stabilization; momentum stabilization which employs a spinning mass and rate stabilization which utilizes inertial rate …

Computer Aided Analysis Of Flat Plate Solar Collectors, Thomas L. Hartman Jan 1975

Computer Aided Analysis Of Flat Plate Solar Collectors, Thomas L. Hartman

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A computer model of a flat plate solar collector has been devised. The model is able to simulate most common types of collectors, with up to three transparent covers of any material. Using primarily equations available from the literature the model calculates the transmission through the cover plates, the heat losses, and the useful heat gain. Derivation of all equations used are presented. A new method is presented for calculation of the mean plate temperature which differs from that commonly used in the literature. Experimental evidence is presented indicating that when transient effects are negligible the model is able to …

Test Methods For Evaluating Performance Of Solar Units, William Joseph Vitaliano Jan 1975

Test Methods For Evaluating Performance Of Solar Units, William Joseph Vitaliano

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This report is concerned with the performance of solar hot water units for laboratory and field use. A solar unit is defined as a system consisting of a collector, storage tank, piping system and controls. Older unites typically employ the thermosyphon principle (gravity) while more recent models use a water pump to circulate the water. Basically, the collector absorbs solar radiation and transfers thermal energy to the water flowing in the collector tubing. From the collector, the fluid is pumped to the storage tank at which point the hot water is available for usage. A literature search revealed that very …

Design And Calibration Of A Three Component, Single Element, Wind Tunnel Force Balance, Victor W. Tisdel Jan 1975

Design And Calibration Of A Three Component, Single Element, Wind Tunnel Force Balance, Victor W. Tisdel

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this paper was to design a simplified wind tunnel force balance for use in elementary aerodynamics/wind tunnel laboratory courses. The applied loads and moments were determined to be as follows: The design lift force is ± 20 lbs, the design drag force is ± 10 pounds, the design pitching moment is ± 20 inch-pounds. The force balance output accuracy was arbitrarily set at ± 5% since this would be sufficient for preliminary student work. The results of this work are as follows: The force balance is fabricated from a single bar of 2024 aluminum, machines and bent …

Fear Of Success In Females: A Behavioral Test, Marcia D. Stern Jan 1975

Fear Of Success In Females: A Behavioral Test, Marcia D. Stern

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Horner has hypothesized that females who exhibit fear of success imagery on a projective test, tend to perform more poorly in competitive than in noncompetitive situations. In the present study, Horner's technique of identifying females who exhibit fear of success was employed. Groups of females exhibiting fear of success and females not exhibiting fear of success were placed in different competitive situations involving a matching task in which they were paired with a male partner, female partner or were alone. Halfway through the task, all subjects were told they were successful. The last half of the task was a measure …

Clustering Concepts In Automatic Pattern Recognition, Patricia J. Defilipps Jan 1975

Clustering Concepts In Automatic Pattern Recognition, Patricia J. Defilipps

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

During the past decade and a half, there has been a considerable growth of interest in problems of pattern recognition. Contributions to the growth have been from many of the disciplines including statistics, control theory, operations research, biology, linguistics, and computer science. One of the basic approaches to pattern recognition is cluster analysis, in which various methodologies may be successfully employed. It is the purpose of this research report to investigate some of the basic clustering concepts in automatic pattern recognition.

High-Speed Bipolar Microprocessor Usage For Extracting A Constant Frequency Signal From A Pulse Stream, Lenard Jay Persin Jan 1975

High-Speed Bipolar Microprocessor Usage For Extracting A Constant Frequency Signal From A Pulse Stream, Lenard Jay Persin

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This report presents an initial design effort for a high-speed, constant Frequency data extractor, which can be used to identify and track a particular constant frequency signal in the presence of other signals. Several factors must be included in the design considerations. The detection and acquisition of the correct signal should be accomplished at high speed to remain as close as possible to real time. Once detection has occurred, the system should generate a track-predict gate signal that enables the input line only when the real input pulse is expected. If track is lost, which happens whenever the track-predict gate …

A Study Of Assimilative Capacities For Receiving Streams, Hadi. Elmi Jan 1975

A Study Of Assimilative Capacities For Receiving Streams, Hadi. Elmi

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Literature reviews on various stream processes which contribute to reoxygenation and deoxygenation was presented. These processes include atmospheric reaeration, photosynthesis-respiration, biochemical oxygen consumption, and benthic demand. Measuring these parameters in a selected stream is a complex and costly operation. On the other hand, prediction models developed are specific to particular location and environmental conditions and can only be applied to similar situations. Computer models such as "RIVER" are available and could be used to predict dissolved oxygen concentrations along a waterway for a specified set of stream conditions. The model "RIVER" was calibrated by using the existing conditions of flow …

Stormwater Runoff From Shopping Centers, Thomas P. Donigan Jan 1975

Stormwater Runoff From Shopping Centers, Thomas P. Donigan

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This is a brief investigation of stormwater runoff from a large shopping center located in Brevard County, Florida. Merritt Square Shopping Center has a parking area for 4,700 automobiles and is located on the shore of Newfound Harbor which is classified as recreation waters (Class III). A literature survey of runoff studies in other areas has been made for both "state of the art" and evaluation of findings. Water samples were initially collected from five locations. Review of the analysis of these samples indicated that while color and turbidity appeared to decrease linearly with time, organic and inorganic concentrations did …
