Analysis Of Elastic Thermal Stresses By Station-Function Collocation Methods, Jaw-Kuang Wang
Analysis Of Elastic Thermal Stresses By Station-Function Collocation Methods, Jaw-Kuang Wang
Masters Theses
"An approximate method for the solution of thermal stress problems is presented. The method makes use of polynomial approximations to reduce the partial differential equation to a system of linear algebraic equations or a set of first-order ordinary differential equations. This results in satisfying the differential equation at a finite number of stations. The boundary conditions are satisfied identically. Two examples of the method, presented in detail, indicate that the solutions of the biharmonic equation for the stress function and the Fourier equation for the temperature distribution have good accuracy with a minimum of labor. A generalized method is derived …
Investigations Of Several Variables In The Dwight-Lloyd Mcwane Ironmaking Process, James Orlan Hood Jr.
Investigations Of Several Variables In The Dwight-Lloyd Mcwane Ironmaking Process, James Orlan Hood Jr.
Masters Theses
"The Dwight- Lloyd McWane Ironmaking Process (D-LM) is the first commercial process of its particular type and one of the few commercial processes involving prereduction of iron ore in existence today. This presentation reviews some promising ironmaking processes which involve iron ore prereduction, with special attention being given the D-LM process. Although the D-LM process is continuous from iron ore to high quality molten cast iron, the research and discussion herein is limited to principal variables involved in the production of high quality carbonized pellets in the prereduction phase of the operation. The variables of process temperature and pellet carbon …
A Mathematical Model For The Neutron Dependence Of Neutral Base Region Recombination, Jonas Bereisa Jr.
A Mathematical Model For The Neutron Dependence Of Neutral Base Region Recombination, Jonas Bereisa Jr.
Masters Theses
"A discrete, deterministic, mathematical model is developed for the neutral bulk base region of graded base devices which accounts for both the effects of recombination and the built-in electric field in the bulk base region at low, intermediate, and moderate current/injection levels. This model is applied to a study of neutron radiation effects in double diffused silicon transistors. Exact expressions are developed for the injected emitter, base and collector currents, the base recombination term, and the ratio of base current increase to collector current decrease as functions of device geometry, impurity profile, and neutron fluence. Neutron-induced current gain degradation is …
The Anodic Dissolution Of Molybdenum In Acidic Nitrate Solutions, Kuan-Hsiung Hoh
The Anodic Dissolution Of Molybdenum In Acidic Nitrate Solutions, Kuan-Hsiung Hoh
Masters Theses
"The anodic dissolution of molybdenum in 1.0 N HNO₃ (pH = 0.3) , 0.1 N HNO₃-0.9 N KNO₃ (pH = 1.2), and 0.01 N HNO₃ -0.99 N KNO₃ (pH = 2.1) was investigated. The following conclusions were possible: 1. Mo is in general electrochemically oxidized to the Mo-VI state during anodic dissolution. 2. The resultant ions in solution are HMOO⁻₄. 3. The Mo surface in aqueous solutions is covered with an oxide whose approximate composition is Mo₂O₅. 4. The polarization curves have a linear Tafel region at potentials slightly above the rest potential. 5. There is no significant effect of …
A Computer Simulation Of The Internal Ballistics Of Recoilless-Rifle Rocket Launchers, John Edd Mosier
A Computer Simulation Of The Internal Ballistics Of Recoilless-Rifle Rocket Launchers, John Edd Mosier
Masters Theses
"A computer program has been developed to simulate the basic mechanics and gas dynamics associated with launching a solid propellant rocket from a recoilless rifle. This program, entitled "KICKIT," may be used to predict the performance and evaluate many of the pertinent design parameters of both conventional recoilless rifles and a recoilless rocket launcher system. This program is a valuable analytical tool which enables the designer either to optimize the system design or predict the behavior of the system under off-design conditions"--Abstract, Page ii.
Analysis And Control Of Noise Produced By Small Pneumatic Tools, Phillip Ray Elam
Analysis And Control Of Noise Produced By Small Pneumatic Tools, Phillip Ray Elam
Masters Theses
"Noise measurements were made near the exhaust of three small pneumatic tools operating under various loads and with various components removed. One-third octave analyses were performed on the noise for identification of noise sources and to determine possible noise reduction techniques. It was determined that the noise spectra consisted of broad band turbulent flow noise plus periodic components at the tool motor blade passage frequency and harmonics of this frequency. One tool, the nut setter, was selected for reverberant field noise analyses and noise reduction studies. Reverberant field measurements indicated that most of the tool noise was transmitted through the …
The Semibullvalene Question: A Semi-Empirical Molecular Orbital And Bond Energy Approach, Shiow Yeh Lee
The Semibullvalene Question: A Semi-Empirical Molecular Orbital And Bond Energy Approach, Shiow Yeh Lee
Masters Theses
"Semi-empirical molecular orbital calculations of the Extended Ruckel and MIND0/1 type have been performed on semibullvalene and the supposed transition state for its degenerate [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement. The results have been coupled with bond energy calculations to ascertain whether semibullvalene is homo-aromatic or is undergoing a rearrangement of exceedingly low activation energy. A preponderance of the resulting data suggests that semibullvalene is homo-aromatic"--Abstract, page ii.
Initial Operation And Calibration Of The Umr Supersonic Axisymmetric Wind Tunnel, James Riley Murphy
Initial Operation And Calibration Of The Umr Supersonic Axisymmetric Wind Tunnel, James Riley Murphy
Masters Theses
"Initial testing and a preliminary calibration were conducted in the UMR supersonic variable Mach number axisymmetric blowdown wind tunnel facility. During initial operations problems were encountered with control valve seat failure, control valve response and stability, and automatic operation. After having brittle fracture failures with seats made of nylon, Teflon and Telfon-copper composite, a copper seat was found to perform satisfactorily with minimal valve leakage. Control valve response and stability were greatly influenced by the setting of the needle valve located between the total pressure probe and the controller. The needle valve setting was observed to depend upon the stagnation …
Light Scattering As A Means Of Probing Particulate Systems, Arwind Krishna Gore
Light Scattering As A Means Of Probing Particulate Systems, Arwind Krishna Gore
Masters Theses
"The primary purpose of this investigation is to provide basic data needed in determining the size distribution of water-droplets in cloud chambers, sprays, dust clouds, etc. A critique of the classical Mie scattering theory is made to evaluate the influence of the properties such as size, shape and refractive index and of the particulate concentration on the scattering functions. Using He-Ne gas laser radiation of 6328 Å wavelength as the source, the angular intensity functions are tabulated for water-drops up to 20 microns in diameter, dispersed in air at 25ºC. A size interval of 0.2 microns and an angular interval …
Bound-Free Continuum Radiation From Non-Gray Nonisothermal Shock Layers, Chu Yih Wang
Bound-Free Continuum Radiation From Non-Gray Nonisothermal Shock Layers, Chu Yih Wang
Masters Theses
"This study investigates the continuum radiative flux from nonisothermal stagnation shock layers composed of atomic gases. The general equations for the composition are derived and the Rankine-Hugoniot equations are simplified and solved to give the thermodynamic conditions of the shock layers. To accurately model the stagnation shock layer, the plasma must be considered to be nonisothermal. In the current study, linear shock layer temperature profiles are assumed. Consequently, the fluid dynamics and the radiation are uncoupled. The radiation model assumes one-dimensional radiative energy transport and considers only continuum processes. The radiative flux is calculated by considereing ground to free state …
Statistical Estimate Of Positional Error Inherent In Very Low Frequency Radio Navigation (Range-Range), Jimmie D. Mcginnis
Statistical Estimate Of Positional Error Inherent In Very Low Frequency Radio Navigation (Range-Range), Jimmie D. Mcginnis
Masters Theses
"To determine the effectiveness of Very Low Frequency (VLF) navigation in certain areas of the world, it is necessary that a method be developed to estimate the positional error associated with VLF relative positioning techniques. This paper presents a method which consists of a least-mean-squared procedure to sum up the errors contributed by each station being monitored. Since phase jitter (i.e., phase fluctuation) is a random variable, a statistical approach is employed to produce a one Σ ellipse centered about the true position. In short, this method defines the size and orientation of an area called an error ellipse which …
The Design And Construction Of An Inertia Welder, Arthur Ferdinand Grimm
The Design And Construction Of An Inertia Welder, Arthur Ferdinand Grimm
Masters Theses
"The purpose of this investigation was the design and fabrication of a machine to bond metal to metal using the inertia method of friction welding. This method of bonding is considered far superior to the heretofore employed friction welding processes as will be explained later. The inertia method controls the energy imparted to the weld by using a flywheel which has been brought to a state of predetermined kinetic energy due to rotation. This energy is then transferred to the weld zone in the form of heat due to rotational friction. Hollow specimens with a cross-sectional area of 0.306 square …
A Digital Simulation For Optimum Nonlinear Detection Of Binary Signals In Impulsive Noise, Ralph Bernard Fluchel
A Digital Simulation For Optimum Nonlinear Detection Of Binary Signals In Impulsive Noise, Ralph Bernard Fluchel
Masters Theses
"The problem of reducing the effects of impulsive noise on binary communication systems is considered. A digital simulation of such a system is developed in order to find a nearly optimum (minimum probability of error criterion) nonlinear device to precede detection. The level of the Gaussian noise power is found to be the most important parameter for determining the nearly optimum nonlinear device"--Abstract, page ii.

St. Louis Limestone, Stratigraphy And Petrography, Near Its Type Locality, Abd El-Aziz El-Hady A. Borahay
Masters Theses
"The St. Louis Limestone of the Upper Meramecian Series, Mississippian System, is typically lithographic, light-to light-olive gray in color, dense, and fractures conchoidally. It is brecciated, especially in the lower part, and contains some chert nodules. Oolites are present close to the top of the formation. The Salem-St. Louis contact is placed at the base of the lowest breccia zone and the top of Salem is characterized by crystalline quartz and abundance of chert nodules. The appearance of typical Ste. Genevieve oolites with sand-size quartz grains indicates the St. Louis-Ste. Genevieve contact. The St. Louis Limestone is characterized by dominance …
Next-State Equation Generation For Asynchronous Sequential Circuits - Normal Mode, Gregory Martin Bednar
Next-State Equation Generation For Asynchronous Sequential Circuits - Normal Mode, Gregory Martin Bednar
Masters Theses
"This paper describes the known methods of generating next-state equations for asynchronous sequential circuits operating in normal fundamental mode. First, the methods that have been previously developed by other authors are explained and correlated in a simple and uniform language in order that the subtle differences of these approaches can be seen. This review is then followed by a development of a new method for generating minimal next-state equations which has some advantages over the previous methods. From the comparison of the previous known methods, it is noted that any one of these methods may be desirable for certain designs …

Evaluation And Application Of Dye Tracers In Karst Terrain For Determining Aquifer Characteristics, Milton Frank Bradley
Masters Theses
"As ground water becomes increasingly important as a source of water in the United States, reliable information on the hydrological characteristics of carbonate aquifers must be obtained in order to develop them intelligently. Various tracers have been used in the past to determine if two or more points are connected hydrologically. Today there exists a number of excellent dye tracers and tracer methods have been developed in unconsolidated and clastic aquifers for determining hydrological characteristics. This paper reviews the various dye tracers and methods which might be applied in a carbonate karst terrain using wells as injection and sampling points. …
The Effects Of Magnetic Fields Upon The Steady State And Short Circuit Performance Of Low Voltage Multi-Link Fuses, John Thomas Schultz
The Effects Of Magnetic Fields Upon The Steady State And Short Circuit Performance Of Low Voltage Multi-Link Fuses, John Thomas Schultz
Masters Theses
"The steady state and short circuit performance of multi-link fuses is investigated, as it is affected by the magnetic field of the nearby returning current and the current flowing in the fuse itself. The fuses investigated are low voltage (600 volts or less), multi-link fuses with ratings between 400 and 4000 amperes. The effects of the above mentioned magnetic fields upon the steady state current distribution within the fuse and upon the mechanical forces acting on the individual fuse links are calculated, while the effects of close proximity of the returning current upon short circuit fuse performance are shown by …
A Proposed Concept For The Rapid Field Design Of Protective Structures, John Ross Childress
A Proposed Concept For The Rapid Field Design Of Protective Structures, John Ross Childress
Masters Theses
"This investigation proposes a simplified concept for the rapid field design of protective structures, subject to attack by conventional artillery rounds, mortar rounds and small rockets. Parameters which should be considered during a rigorous design process are discussed. The number and complexity of these parameters make the rigorous design procedure too unwieldy to be efficiently used, in a limited time period, when materials are not available to comply with Standard Designs. Since the duration of an explosion pulse is very short and uncompacted soil is capable of absorbing explosive energy, this study investigates the theory that adequate protection can be …
Fault Detection On Sequential Machines, Chung-Tao David Wang
Fault Detection On Sequential Machines, Chung-Tao David Wang
Masters Theses
"This paper presents an algorithm for deriving an optimum test sequence for detecting faults in a synchronous machine. In this study, the flow table is used as a tool to generate the fault detection tests. The fault stuck-at-1 (or stuck-at-0 ) is said to be present when a permanent signal valued 1 (or 0) appears on a component of the machine. Only single faults are treated . The result of the procedure is one or more test sequences guaranteed to detect a set of faults (Fp). First, sequential machines with feedback lines as memory elements are considered . …
An Explicit Simulation Of Overland Flow, Glendon Taylor Stevens
An Explicit Simulation Of Overland Flow, Glendon Taylor Stevens
Masters Theses
"Computer simulation of overland flow requires a mathematical model which converges to a true solution. This paper presents a method, based on measurable physical parameters, which insures convergence of a fixed grid explicit numerical solution. Analysis of a wide range of overland flow plane parameters has resulted in an equation of the form Δt = 0. 2 ΔX/So, for the time step increment. This equation provides values for Δt that will insure stability and convergence of the fixed grid explicit numerical method of solving the spatially varied unsteady flow equations. The effect of subarea shape on the rising …
Computerized Methods For Estimating Heating-Cooling-Ventilating System Usage In All-Electric Buildings, Carl William Glaser
Computerized Methods For Estimating Heating-Cooling-Ventilating System Usage In All-Electric Buildings, Carl William Glaser
Masters Theses
"This thesis develops a method and a resulting computer program for estimating the energy input required by the heating-cooling-ventilating system of a building. The computer program has the ability to model the ventilating system and all the inefficiencies introduced when the heating system is allowed to fight the cooling system to provide temperature control within the conditioned space. The program also can consider mechanical heat reclaim accurately, making the consideration on a time of need versus a time of occurrence basis. The program is written to utilize input data in rather simplified form. This allows the program to be used …

Specific objectives were: to evaluate the removal of phosphorus with alum and sodium aluminate in a pilot plant activated sludge system, to determine the fate of the precipitated phosphorus incorporated into the microbial floc when placed in an anaerobic environment, and to observe the effect of aluminum on the digestion process. Five 38-gpd continuous-flow activated sludge pilot plant units were operated at the Rolla Love Creek trickling filter plant and were fed with settled domestic sewage. The sludge from …
Effect Of Third Components On Drag Reduction In Aluminum Soap-Hydrocarbon Systems, Kun-Chieh Lee
Effect Of Third Components On Drag Reduction In Aluminum Soap-Hydrocarbon Systems, Kun-Chieh Lee
Masters Theses
"The effect of additives, aging, shear and peptizing agents on the drag reducing abilities of aluminum disoaptoluene solutions prepared at room temperature were studied. Viscosity measurements were used as a primary test to select effective additives. Medium strong organic bases were found to be useful as they speed up the dissolution of slow dissolving aluminum dioctoate soap and form large micelle structures. These peptizers are not effective with aluminum distearate which is very hard to dissolve in toluene at room temperature. Turbulent flow pressure drop measurements at various aging times were made for solutions of 0.1 per cent aluminum dioleate …
