The Consideration Of Some Aspects Of Two Methods Used To Study Ion Association, Richard Karl Gard Jan 1973

The Consideration Of Some Aspects Of Two Methods Used To Study Ion Association, Richard Karl Gard

Masters Theses

An investigation was made into the possibility of determining thermodynamic ion association equilibrium constants for salts important in the study of seawater using spectrophotometry and ion selective electrodes. Calcium sulfate was used as the test salt. The success of the spectrophotometric method was found to depend upon the choice of a suitable indicator and refinement of the proper instrumental techniques. The indicators investigated were 1-(2'-hydroxy-1'-benzeneazo)-2-hydroxynaphthalene, 1-(2'-hydroxy-5'-chloro-1'-benzeneazo)-2-hydroxynaphthalene, and ammonium purpurate (murexide). Ammonium purpurate was found to be the most suitable indicator. Spectra of these three indicators and their calcium complexes at pH 10 are included in the paper. The ion selective …

A Highway Rest Area Design Based On A Use Study In Outstate Missouri, Dimitris Peter Perandakos Jan 1973

A Highway Rest Area Design Based On A Use Study In Outstate Missouri, Dimitris Peter Perandakos

Masters Theses

"The limited number of rest areas in the State of Missouri does create a major problem for the motorist travelling in this state.

The author became more aware of this problem from personal experience and decided to investigate it. For that he interviewed over one thousand motorists on the only rest area that is located on 1-44, near the city of Stanton. He also took traffic counts to determine the average daily traffic volumes of Highway 1-44 and of the rest area stated above.

The data collected from the above steps was used for the design of a new rest …


A Suboptimal Control Law For Parametrically Disturbed Linear Systems And Its Application To Improve The Transient Stability Of Power Systems, Atluri Bhima Ranjit Kumar Jan 1973

A Suboptimal Control Law For Parametrically Disturbed Linear Systems And Its Application To Improve The Transient Stability Of Power Systems, Atluri Bhima Ranjit Kumar

Masters Theses

Paper 1: “A suboptimal linear control law is synthesized for parametrically disturbed linear systems, and the necessary approximation for applying the law to a class of nonlinear systems is given. The law is then extended to linear systems with stochastically disturbed parameters by using appropriate approximations”—Abstract, page 2.

Paper 2: “The application of optimal control theory to damp the electromechanical oscillations associated with the transient conditions in power systems has been given little attention. A suboptimal control law which minimizes the sum of the performance indices of the two linear systems given by a piecewise linear model of a power …


An Experimental Analysis Of Oil Spill Drift Caused By Water Waves, Jan Michael Pottinger Jan 1973

An Experimental Analysis Of Oil Spill Drift Caused By Water Waves, Jan Michael Pottinger

Masters Theses

"A study was conducted to determine the effect of waves on oil spill drift. The investigation was performed in a long narrow tank equipped with a mechanical wave generator at one end and a beach to suppress wave reflection at the other end. It was found that a special procedure for taking data was necessary in order to assure that the data was consistent and that the waves were indeed deep water waves, and therefore similar to open ocean conditions.

The data indicated that waves do influence oil spill movement, and the velocity of the oil was found to be …


Model Correction For The Formation Of Amorphous Silicon By Ion Implantation, John Robert Dennis Jan 1973

Model Correction For The Formation Of Amorphous Silicon By Ion Implantation, John Robert Dennis

Masters Theses

"ESR has been used to study the formation of an amorphous layer in silicon by ion implantation. The room temperature implants were done at 20 keV with low dose rates. The critical dose was determined as a function of ion mass for six different ion species. Our experimental heavy ion results agree with those found by other ESR investigators at higher energy, but are not the same for light ions. However, our light and heavy ion results agree with electron microscope measurements for low energy implants. An energy-independent model for the formation of amorphous silicon by ion implantation has …


A Study Of The Measurement Of Noise Power, Larry Smith Heflin Jan 1973

A Study Of The Measurement Of Noise Power, Larry Smith Heflin

Masters Theses

"In order to compute a power signal-to-noise ratio in the numerical simulation of a communication system, it is necessary to measure the power of the noise present. The required integration can be approximated by many numerical techniques. Five numerical integration methods are available in the user-oriented System/360 Continuous System Modeling Program. Measurements of the power of an additive Gaussian noise waveform are performed, and an analysis of the accuracy of the measurement compared to theoretical values is presented"--Abstract, page ii.


Chemical And Ultrasonic Conditioning Of Water Treatment Plant Coagulant Sludges, Stanley Louis Klemetson Jan 1973

Chemical And Ultrasonic Conditioning Of Water Treatment Plant Coagulant Sludges, Stanley Louis Klemetson

Masters Theses

"The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the use of ultrasonic energy, pH adjustment, and addition of polyelectrolytes in dewatering coagulant sludges. Emphasis was placed on the effects of the ultrasonic power output level and period of conditioning, the chemical conditioning of the sludge, and the type and origin of the sludge. Dewatering is thought to be the most practical approach for reducing the volume of coagulant sludges and efforts are being made to improve their dewatering characteristics.

An experimental system consisting of a magnetically stirred sludge reservoir, sonifier and reaction chamber, polymer feeder, and collection cylinder was developed …
