Boiling Heat Transfer In The Presence Of Electric Fields, Ronald Francis Lovenguth

Dissertations

The effects of a non-uniform, radial D.C. electric field on the natural convection and nucleate boiling regimes in saturated pool boiling and on the peak heat flux phenomenon were determined for trichlorotrifluoroethane, carbon tetrachloride, dichloromonofluoromethane and chloroform using as a heat transfer surface a 0.02 inch diameter platinum wire.

Bubble departure diameters for the nucleate boiling region were measured by photographic means as a function of the electric field intensity at the heat transfer surface.

The application of an electric field was found to have a significant effect on the natural convection mode of heat transfer and also the peak …

Viscosity-Density Correlation Of Newtonian Liquids, Melvin Leonard Druin

Dissertations

The viscosity of monatomic liquids was modeled by an equation derived from the kinetic theory of gases. Viscosities may be calculated from data on density and molecular weight of the liquid. In adapting this relationship to polyatomic liquids, a single correction factor was developed for each of five series of homologues; n-paraffins, n-1 -alkenes, n-alkylcyclohexanes, n-alkylbenzenes and n-alcohols, to account for the deviations of the calculated viscosities from those reported, extending over a one- to three-hundred degree range. The factor is a function of reduced temperature relative to the normal boiling point, T_rB. A single equation for each …

The Mechanism Of Second Breakdown In Transistors, Eugene David Fabricius

Dissertations

The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the behavior of electrons and holes in a semiconductor or diode under conditions of high current density as a function of temperature, and to relate this behavior to the phenomenon of Second Breakdown. The approach used is that of magnetohydrodynamics, the electrons and holes being treated as a plasma "gas" embedded in the dielectric of the semiconductor.

This approach is unique in the following respects:

1. This is the first attempt to explain second breakdown in terms of magnetohydrodynamics.
2. This is the first time an explanation of pinching in a solid at room …

The Generalized Virial Equation Of State, Ghanshyam R. Patel

Dissertations

A generalized three parameter virial equation of state has been developed and tested for seven pure gases having different molecular characteristics. The equation has also been tested for more than thirteen binary gas mixtures using three different mixture rules. The final equation is as follows:

Z = 1 + B(T)/V + C(T)/V² + D(T)/V³ + E(T)/V⁴ + VF(T)/e^aV + VG(T)/e^bV

The expressions for E(T), F(T), and G(T) along the critical isotherm were derived in terms of critical properties and two constants, a and b which appear in the sixth and seventh terms in the above …

Design Of Linear Control Systems With Distributed Parameter Elements By Parameter Plane Techniques, Murray Weinberg

Dissertations

This dissertation extends the application of parameter plane techniques to a number of areas. Specifically, the parameter plane technique can now be used to determine absolute stability, relative stability, and the location of roots of the closed-loop characteristic equation of systems containing both lumped and distributed parameter elements. The advantages of utilizing this technique are that results can be obtained as two system parameters are varied simultaneously and higher order systems can be treated as easily as low order ones.

Investigation of the mapping of real roots resulted in the derivation of a theorem which relates the number of real …

Noise Spectral Density As A Diagnostic Tool For Reliability Of P-N Junctions, Young Duck Kim

Dissertations

The feasibility of choosing noise-voltage spectral density as a prediction parameter for the degradation of p-n junctions has been examined both theoretically and through a series of life-tests.

Experimental facts show that the noise-voltage spectral density, S_v(w), observed in a p-n junction under the breakdown condition tends to be "white" (which contradicts the 1/f-noise theory), and S_v(w) is inversely proportional to the breakdown current (which contradicts the shot-noise theory). Furthermore, some p-n junctions display one or more multiple peaks of S_v(w) at different current levels which can not be explained by any of the …
