The Photochemistry Of Tetramethyl-3-Thio-1,3-Cyclobutanedione, Mason Ming-Sun Shen
The Photochemistry Of Tetramethyl-3-Thio-1,3-Cyclobutanedione, Mason Ming-Sun Shen
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The first law of photochemistry, formulated in the works of Grotthus and Draper more than a century ago, states: Only the light which is absorbed by a molecule can be effective in producing photochemical change in the molecule. The law and its consequences are commonly taken for granted by photo chemists today. Until the advent of quantum mechanics, the effect of light on matter was not properly understood. As a result, during the primeval age of photochemistry numerous and wondrous photochemical reactions were discovered, but both useful application of these results and formulation of a unifying theory were lacking. From …

Inventory Control Of Deteriorating Items, George C. Philip
Inventory Control Of Deteriorating Items, George C. Philip
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The problem of the control and maintenance of inventories of physical goods is common to most enterprises. In the past, inventories were considered as the 'graveyard' of American business, because surplus stock was a principal cause for business failures. However, in large scale enterprises the inventory system may become too large and complex to be analyzed intuitively and any deviation from the optimum inventory policy would mean substantial losses. As a result of the current small profit margins, proper inventory control has become even more important. The basic concept in inventory control consists of striking a balance between the cost …

Study Of Laminar Heat Transfer In A Cone, Chang-Shieng Philip Hsia
Study Of Laminar Heat Transfer In A Cone, Chang-Shieng Philip Hsia
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
When a fluid flows through a conduit of different temperature from itself, a heat exchange occurs between them. In studying the heat transfer of the fluid in the conduit we can obtain information about the rate of heat absorption and losses, the temperature distributions, etc. This information is important in design work and to aid in the correct selection of construction and insulation materials. Sometimes the conduit or a section of the conduit is conical, as for example the diffuser in hydro-turbo machines and air compressors, the nozzles of steam or gas turbines, and various heating or exhaust ducts. Usually …

Impulse Voltage Characteristics Of Class 155a °C To 220a °C Solid Insulating Materials, George C. Morfiris
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The drastic increase in the ratings of power apparatus in recent years, as a, result of rapidly increased power needs, has brought about dramatic developments in electrical insulation. As voltage and power ratings increased, while size reduction and higher efficiencies were sought, temperatures which insulations must withstand without losing their characteristics also increased. In an effort to produce insulations with higher thermal and electrical properties, insulation manufacturers began producing electrical insulations utilizing synthetic high polymers, phenolic, and other thermosetting resins and silicones. The result has been a series of advanced insulation systems which the has been so rapid that a …
A Study Of Ferroresonant Conditions On Distribution Circuits Involving Cable-Connected Power Transformers, Ronald H. Miller
A Study Of Ferroresonant Conditions On Distribution Circuits Involving Cable-Connected Power Transformers, Ronald H. Miller
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
As far as electric utilities are concerned, ferroresonance is undesirable on distribution or transmission systems because it may result in either transient or sustained over voltages under certain conditions. Lightning arrestor flashover, excessive transformer hum, transformer damage, cable damage, and phase reversals have been attributed to ferroresonance. The probability of ferroresonant conditions resulting in damage to equipment has only relatively recently risen to an appreciable level. The difference lies in the fact that the farroresonant circuit is nonlinear due to the inductive component. This component is a saturable core reactance, which has its impedance value dictated by the saturation characteristic …

Reliability Study Of A Revision Of The Modified Los Angeles Rattler Test Using Class "C" Graded Aggregates, Dallas L. Hofer
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Both the producer and the user are concerned with a characteristic of an aggregate that may be best described as "durability." In a broad sense, durability means the ability of the aggregate to remain unchanged over a fairly long period of time in spite of adverse natural processes or forces to which it is subjected. Durability, as it applies to mineral aggregates, means the ability to resist degradation. Erickson has defined degradation as "A breaking down and/or disintegration of particles of sand, gravel, or stone, primarily due to alteration and subsequent decomposition of their mineral components, accelerated by the action …

An Investigation Into The Transient Behavior Of Multichannel Queueing Systems, James R. Mccormick
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In today's world, the waiting lines or queues formed by people, machines, or other units are common and occur whenever the temporary demand for a service exceeds the capacity to provide it. These values may be the costs associated with idle production equipment and personnel or the lost sales due to unsatisfied customers. If one designs for sufficient facilities so that no queue builds up, then the operation is likely to be uneconomical due to excessive idle time at the service facility. If one designs the facility so that there is never any idle time at the service facility, then …
