The Failure Criteria And Deformational Moduli Of Granular Rock, Kyung Chul Ko
The Failure Criteria And Deformational Moduli Of Granular Rock, Kyung Chul Ko
Masters Theses
"Analytical solutions of stress for composite material are obtained by means of mathematical theory of elasticity, assuming spherical inclusions and uniform displacements of boundaries of representative elements. These solutions show that the failure criteria of composite materials are complicated functions of the elastic moduli of matrix, inclusion and composite, and the volume ratio of matrix and inclusion. Combining this theory with Griffith's theory gives a new criteria for brittle failure of granular rook. This theory appears to provide a nearly perfect model for granular rooks, inasmuch as: a) most assumptions used in other criteria are eliminated, b) most phenomena in …

Heat Transfer Through A Spherical Gas Shell, Adel Nassif Saad
Heat Transfer Through A Spherical Gas Shell, Adel Nassif Saad
Masters Theses
"The radiative transfer through an absorbing-emitting gas shell contained within black concentric spheres at uniform but different temperatures was investigated. A close form exact solution and an approximate solution were derived for the case of isothermal gas layer. The two solutions appear to compare well specially at low diameter ratios, and both agree with the radiative equilibrium solution in the thin limit. An approximate method was developed for the radiative equilibrium, non-isothermal gas layer, of the above problem. The method is based on the assumption of a hyperbolic emissive power distribution through the gas shell. The jump boundary conditions were …
Determination Of Reservoir Characteristics From Capillary Pressure Curves And Electrical Properties Of Rocks, Prasanta Kumar Guharoy
Determination Of Reservoir Characteristics From Capillary Pressure Curves And Electrical Properties Of Rocks, Prasanta Kumar Guharoy
Masters Theses
"Based upon the assumptions that a porous medium is analogous to a bundle of capillary tubes and that there is equivalence of electrical and hydraulic tortuosity in a porous medium, empirical expressions are presented which relate capillary pressure data and electrical properties of the rock to the porosity, permeability and relative-water permeability, respectively, of completely water-wet rocks. Experimental data are presented for comparison in order to verify their validity. Three principal models are presented, each of which is characterized by a particular expression for estimating tortuosity. The method of determining this parameter was varied in order to find the form …
Penetration In A Graded Filter, William Chuan Shen
Penetration In A Graded Filter, William Chuan Shen
Masters Theses
"An experimental laboratory study conducted to examine clogging within and penetration of fines into a single layer graded filter. Hydraulic gradient, filter gradation and flow direction were varied. Forty one tests gave over six hundred individual penetration depths. The magnitude of penetration in filters with considerable variation in gradation patterns correlated with an average hydraulic radius based on the volume of voids and an approximated total surface area. It has been shown than an increased thickness of poorly graded filter will stop penetration such as that caused by seepage erosion. A relationship between hydraulic radius, penetration depth and probability of …
Linear Analysis Of Pneumatic Dashpot Damping, Nathalal Gordhanbhai Patel
Linear Analysis Of Pneumatic Dashpot Damping, Nathalal Gordhanbhai Patel
Masters Theses
"The linear analysis of pneumatic damping with orifice or capillary restrictions and with or without mean flow is presented. Temperature and pressure relationships are derived from energy considerations rather than the usual simplification of an assumed polytropic coefficient. Analytical results are compared with the experimental results and a coefficient of heat transfer, Ch, is defined for calculation of the equivalent linear damping factor Cd"--Abstract, page ii.
The Electrochemical Behavior Of Molybdenum In Acidic Chloride Solutions, Mun-Shan Lee
The Electrochemical Behavior Of Molybdenum In Acidic Chloride Solutions, Mun-Shan Lee
Masters Theses
"The anodic dissolution of Mo was studied in HC1-KC1 solutions at 25ºC. The apparent valences of Mo ions going into solution were approximately six. Lower values were obtained in HC1 solutions, with the most pronounced changes occurring with the higher concentrations. The resultant ions in solution were Mo-VI. The Mo surface in aqueous solutions appears to be covered with an oxide whose approximate composition is Mo₂O₅. The anodic dissolution is controlled by the oxidation of the surface oxide (Mo₂O₅) to MoO₃"--Abstract, page 1.
Shear Strength Characteristics Of Crushed Glass, Fred Ray Browning
Shear Strength Characteristics Of Crushed Glass, Fred Ray Browning
Masters Theses
"Drained and undrained triaxial compression tests were performed on two gradations of crushed glass in order to determine the compressibility and shear strength characteristics. Consolidation pressures varied from 10 to 100 psi. Volume changes during consolidation were discussed because of the dependency of shear strength behavior on the density condition at the end of consolidation. Stress-strain-volume change characteristics were observed in order to discuss the load-deformation and dilatancy relationships and the effects of varying density, gradation and consolidation pressure. Stress-strain properties were also determined for the undrained tests. The undrained tests were constant volume tests, thus having no dilatancy effects. …

Shear Degradation Of Polystyrene In Toluene, Ali Asghar Sarmasti
Masters Theses
"The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent of flow degradation of narrow molecular weight distribution polystyrene samples under the conditions of laminar flow in capillary tubes. In all cases the solvent was toluene at 25ºC, the polymer concentration was 0.1 weight percentage, and the calculated shear rate at the wall was in the range of 10⁵ - 10⁶ sec⁻¹. The extent of degradation was obtained by measuring the intrinsic viscosity [eta] of the polystyrene samples before and after flow through capillary tubes having a wide range of length/diameter (L/D) ratios. The polystyrene samples here had molecular weight …
Comparison Of The Buckley-Leverett Technique With A Numerical Simulation Model Containing Heterogeneity And Capillary Pressure, Krishna Kumar Singh
Comparison Of The Buckley-Leverett Technique With A Numerical Simulation Model Containing Heterogeneity And Capillary Pressure, Krishna Kumar Singh
Masters Theses
"A numerical model for a linear, two-phase fluid flow system has been developed with the capabilities of accounting for heterogeneity and capillarity. The model developed is general enough to analyze either water-oil or gas-oil systems. A hypothetical petroleum reservoir (containing only water and oil) under water flood was studied. The results for the homogeneous, no capillary pressure case were found to be similar to those obtained by the Buckley-Leverett technique. The study shows that the Buckley-Leverett is accurate even for a certain degree of heterogeneity. Also, capillarity does not substantially alter the results for the system studied. The results obtained …
The Anodic Oxidation Of Oxalic Acid On Au, Jean Louis Lucien Desmartin
The Anodic Oxidation Of Oxalic Acid On Au, Jean Louis Lucien Desmartin
Masters Theses
"The anodic oxidation of oxalic acid on Au has been studied at 25ºC in aqueous media. The reaction rate was measured as a function of potential, oxalic acid concentration, pH, and temperature in H₂SO₄-K₂SO₄ solutions. A change in the Tafel slope in going from the lower to the higher Tafel region is explained by an alteration of the reaction mechanism due to electrical interactions between adsorbed species and the anode. Further details of an oxidation sequence involving resonant forms of oxalic acid are proposed"--Abstract, page 1.
Failure Of Lined And Unlined Small-Scale Cavities In Rock-Like Materials, Seung-Ki Yang
Failure Of Lined And Unlined Small-Scale Cavities In Rock-Like Materials, Seung-Ki Yang
Masters Theses
"The strain conditions around statically loaded circular openings in rock-like materials and corresponding cavity-wall displacements were determined experimentally with resistance strain gages. The models were fabricated with lined and unlined openings simulating underground tunnels. Tests were performed with models of two different materials in plane stress and plane strain. Rock-like materials were designed and the strain gages were embedded at selected points within each model. The models often failed by tensile splitting through the opening early in the loading cycle causing the strains at certain points to deviate considerably from the theoretical values. Tangential strains on the vertical axis were …

A Study Of The Oxygen Exchange Between Chromate Ion And Water, James Hsiao-Hsin Chiang
Masters Theses
"The kinetics of the isotopic exchange reaction between O¹⁸-enriched chromate ion and solvent water have been measured as a function of pH and chromate ion concentration. The exchange kinetics can be explained in terms of the dimerization equilibria HCrO4̄ + Cr₂O[subscript 7 with double dash above] [double arrows] Cr₂O[subscript 7 with double dash above] + OH⁻ and 2HCrO4̄ [double arrows] Cr₂O[subscript 7 with double dash above] + H₂O except at high pH, where it is independent of pH. Rate constants at 30ºC for the reactions of the dimerization equilibria and the first order reaction at the high pH …
Enhanced Evaporation Of Water Droplets Due To Surface Contamination, Robert Bernard Hughes
Enhanced Evaporation Of Water Droplets Due To Surface Contamination, Robert Bernard Hughes
Masters Theses
"Experimental evidence for enhanced evaporation of small (3-9 µ radius) water droplets are presented. Both "pure" droplets and droplets contaminated with surface active materials fell into air of known relative humidity (96-99 per cent) at an ambient temperature of 29.9C and evaporated. The rates of evaporation were determined by photographing the evaporating drops, measuring the distance a drop fell during a fixed time interval, and applying Stokes law. The contaminated droplets exhibited a rate of evaporation 1.8µ² sec⁻¹ faster than "pure" drops. This can be compared with rates for pure drops of 1.9 and 5.7µ² sec⁻¹ at 0.1 and 0.3C …

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 …

Study Of Neutron Reflection From A Curved Surface Using The Monte Carlo Method, Marion Jay Rackley
Study Of Neutron Reflection From A Curved Surface Using The Monte Carlo Method, Marion Jay Rackley
Masters Theses
"The reflection patterns for neutrons impinging on both an infinite parabola and an infinite slab were studied using the Monte Carlo method. In the first case neutrons were sent into an infinite parabola (z =x²/2) moving on the XZ plane parallel to the z axis at 5 points, namely: y = 1.5, x = -1.5; y = 1.5, x = -.75; y = 1. 5, x = 0. 0; y = 15, x =.75; y = 1.5, x = 1.5. The results were that there appeared to be a "focusing" of the scattered neutrons. In the second case, neutrons were …
Metabolism Of 3-Iodotyrosine And 3,5-Diiodotyrosine By Thyroid Extracts, Shih-Ying Sun
Metabolism Of 3-Iodotyrosine And 3,5-Diiodotyrosine By Thyroid Extracts, Shih-Ying Sun
Masters Theses
"A porcine thyroid enzyme was extracted from thyroid tissue by homogenization and differential centrifugation. The enzyme was capable of metabolizing both 3-iodotyrosine and 3,5-diiodotyrosine. All of the thyroid subcellular particles produced a fluorescent compound when incubated with these substrates. When the 1,000 x g sediment was supplemented with the 48,000 x g supernatant a second compound was formed. The compound was UV absorbing and has been identified as either 3-iodo-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde or 3,5-diiodo-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde depending upon which substrate was used. The 1,000 x g sediment was solubilized with 1% Conoco 1012-6 detergent. The activating factor in the 48,000 x g supernatant was …
The Anodic Oxidation Of Oxalic Acid On Au, Steven C. Mueller
The Anodic Oxidation Of Oxalic Acid On Au, Steven C. Mueller
Masters Theses
"The anodic oxidation of oxalic acid on Au has been studied at 80°C in aqueous media. The reaction rate was measured as a function of potential, oxalic acid concentration, pH, and temperature in H₂SO₄-K₂SO₄-KOH solutions of unit ionic strength. The oxalic acid was oxidized only in acidic media. The oxidation to CO₂ was essentially complete. A first order dependence of the rate on both pH and undissociated oxalic acid was found. A mechanism is proposed in which the first decarboxylation is the rate determining step"--Abstract, page 1.
A Permeability Scaling Technique In The Numerical Simulation Of Water Coning, Virendra Kumar Dutta
A Permeability Scaling Technique In The Numerical Simulation Of Water Coning, Virendra Kumar Dutta
Masters Theses
"A two-dimensional, two-phase, radial, horizontally layered water coning simulator was programmed for large memory digital computers. A permeability sealing technique is developed which allows the use of large size blocks as production blocks. As a result of this technique large time steps have been used without causing saturation instabilities around the well bore and the permeability scaling technique allows a more realistic simulation of a water cone. The IMPES method is used to calculate pressure and saturation in the system for each finite time step. The behaviour of the simulator is studied for various factors affecting the advance of a …

The Anodic Dissolution Of Tungsten, Ching-Lun Wu
The Anodic Dissolution Of Tungsten, Ching-Lun Wu
Masters Theses
"The anodic dissolution of tungsten was studied in H₂SO₄-K₂SO₄ solutions (pH= -2 to 2.5) andK₂SO₄-K₂CO₃-KOH solutions (pH = 11.5 to 14.5) at 25ºC. Faradaic efficiency studies in basic solutions showed that the metal was oxidized to the +6 state. In acid solutions, a thick protective film of yellow WO₃ was formed. Polarization measurements showed linear Tafel behavior (slope ~ 2.3RT/F) in the potential region slightly more positive than the rest potentials. An anodic dissolution mechanism is proposed which involves a surface film of W₂O₅ that is further oxidized to WO₃ and dissolves by hydrolyzation"--Abstract, page 1.
