Current Characteristics Of Electrically Sprayed Glycerine, Larry Eugene Stoddard Jan 1969

Current Characteristics Of Electrically Sprayed Glycerine, Larry Eugene Stoddard

Masters Theses

"The current carried by electrically-sprayed glycerine was measured, and an empirical relation was obtained for single-jet spraying, given by I = KIV0.45M0.55̇d-0.18 where V is the electrode voltage, Ṁ the mass-flow rate, and d the electrode spacing, the electrodes being a capillary and collecting plate. Peculiarities of the current waveform, including an exponentially rising envelope, for unstable-jet spraying and multiple-jet spraying, were recorded"--Abstract, page ii.


Investigation Of Target Detection In Noncoherent Systems With Colored Noise, Edward Windsor Bailey Jan 1969

Investigation Of Target Detection In Noncoherent Systems With Colored Noise, Edward Windsor Bailey

Masters Theses

"Design efforts concerning the problem of detecting moving ground targets from an airborne platform with a noncoherent radar have been concentrated in the area of video filter design. The filter formulation generally follows an empirical path with no generally acceptable criterion for an optimum processor. This Thesis considers several problem formulations which are based on a Neyman-Pearson detection criteria. A square-law second detector is assumed and the resulting likelihood ratio shown to be too complex for closed form solution. The problem is reformulated in terms of sequences using complex random variable representations and the likelihood ratio is investigated. A test …


Thermochemical Investigations Of The Methanol-Isopropanol System, Elmer Lee Taylor Jan 1969

Thermochemical Investigations Of The Methanol-Isopropanol System, Elmer Lee Taylor

Masters Theses

"Heats of solution and partial molar excess volumes at infinite dilution were determined for n-butanol, acetone, chloroform, and water in pure methanol, pure isopropanol, and several mixtures of the two at 25.0⁰C. The partial molar excess enthalpies of methanol and isopropanol were also determined and were combined to obtain integral heats of mixing. All heat data were obtained using a calorimeter of the heat-leak design, containing approximately 300 ml of solvent. Sample sizes ranged for 0.1 to 8 ml. Individual heat measurements were reproducible to 0.05 calories and reported values are considered to be accurate to 1% + 0.5 calorie …


Isotopic Anomalies Of Noble Gases In Natural Gas, Garry A. Bennett Jan 1969

Isotopic Anomalies Of Noble Gases In Natural Gas, Garry A. Bennett

Masters Theses

"This investigation of the abundance and isotopic composition of noble gases in helium-rich gas wells was undertaken in order to obtain new data which might be used to elucidate the origin of isotopic anomalies of noble gases in the atmosphere. Since noble gases are presently leaking to the atmosphere (Damon and Kulp, 1958a; Bieri et al., 1967-) the isotopic composition of the present atmosphere is not static. The direction of change, and ultimately the origin of anomalous noble gases, might therefore be discovered in studying the noble gases presently leaking from the earth. Since the two major noble gas isotopes …


Sorption And Desorption Of Chlorinated Hydrocarbon Pesticides By Clay Minerals, Cheng Sun Liao Jan 1969

Sorption And Desorption Of Chlorinated Hydrocarbon Pesticides By Clay Minerals, Cheng Sun Liao

Masters Theses

"This thesis describes the sorption and desorption of chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides by clay minerals under laboratory controlled environmental systems. Particular emphasis was directed toward the investigation of the fundamental adsorption phenomena which occurred in selected pesticide-clay systems. the effects of certain environmental stresses, including pH, temperature and salt (NaCl) concentration of water, on the behavior of sorption and desorption were also studied. Pesticides selected for this study included DDT, dieldrin and heptachlor, and clay minerals employed were kaolinite, montmorillonite and illite. The adsorption rate and equilibrium were evaluated by batch techniques employing completely mixed systems while the effects of the …


Failure Analysis Of Binary Address Decoders, Kanaiyalal Jekisondas Gandhi Jan 1969

Failure Analysis Of Binary Address Decoders, Kanaiyalal Jekisondas Gandhi

Masters Theses

"This paper describes the organization and failure analysis of various types of binary address decoders. Logical type faults are considered and all possible faulty output patterns, resulting from these faults, are derived. A basic theory is developed, showing that these failure patterns are independent of the decoder size and organization. Digital simulation programs were used as an aid in the development of this theory. Results of the simulation are provided in the appendix"--Abstract, page ii.


Fault Diagnosis Of Sequential Circuits, Virgil Willis Hughes Jan 1969

Fault Diagnosis Of Sequential Circuits, Virgil Willis Hughes

Masters Theses

"Compared to the problem of combinational network (CN) diagnosis, that of sequential network (SN) diagnosis has been an extremely difficult one. Present techniques of SN diagnosis are difficult to apply, and generally lead to lengthy test schedules or additional logic. This paper presents a new approach to the SN diagnostic problem which results in a substantially simpler technique than those found in the literature. The approach is to modify the SN so that it can be diagnosed from a combinatoric point of view. This is accomplished by the addition of outputs for testing purposes to certain lines in the circuit--no …


Stratigraphy And Economic Geology Of Uranium-Bearing Sediments In The Poison Spider District, Natrona County, Wyoming, Carlos Enrique Reijenstein D'Acierno Jan 1969

Stratigraphy And Economic Geology Of Uranium-Bearing Sediments In The Poison Spider District, Natrona County, Wyoming, Carlos Enrique Reijenstein D'Acierno

Masters Theses

"Geologic, stratigraphic, and mineralogic characteristics of the Eocene Wind River and Oligocene White River Formations were determined for the southern portion of the Poison Spider District, Natrona County, Wyoming. Sieve analysis and heavy mineral techniques were used to recognize stratigraphic units, determine their environment of deposition, obtain a better knowledge of the grain size distribution, and to identify a possible source area for the sediments. Particular emphasis was concentrated on the evaluation and interpretation of the available geophysical data (gamma ray and resistivity logs), and geological information which had led to the establishment of several relationships between the local geology …


A Geochemical Study Of The Maquoketa Formation In Pike County, Missouri, John Siegfried Trapp Jan 1969

A Geochemical Study Of The Maquoketa Formation In Pike County, Missouri, John Siegfried Trapp

Masters Theses

"Statistical interpretation of geochemical data was used to determine the environment of deposition of the Maquoketa Formation in Pike County, Missouri. A cyclic sequence was noted which can be best explained by cyclic climatic changes. During the study it was found that elemental relationships which would be expected in a freshly deposited sediment can be found in core samples. In samples from outcrops and quarry faces these relationships have been destroyed. As these elemental relationships reflect mineralogical relationships, serious doubts have arisen as to the validity of petrographic studies of samples taken from outcrops. This study indicates weathering may be …


Neutron Induced Changes To The Modified Ebers-Moll Transistor Model Used In The Net-1 Program, Kenneth Robert Smith Jan 1969

Neutron Induced Changes To The Modified Ebers-Moll Transistor Model Used In The Net-1 Program, Kenneth Robert Smith

Masters Theses

"The development of theoretical and empirical relations which predict the permanent changes to the electrical characteristics of silicon transistors is described in this paper. Analytical techniques are also developed to obtain the parameters used in the Modified Ebers-Moll transistor model. The method employed is to determine the effects on externally measurable characteristics and to relate these changes to the parameters in the Modified Ebers-Moll transistor model. Further, all nonlinear characteristics are related to the independent variables with interpolating polynomials and degraded characteristics presented. then degraded characteristics are used to establish the parameters for and parameter changes to the transistor model …


An Aggregate Quality Investigation Of The Meramec River Gravels, Kadri Ercin Kasapoglu Jan 1969

An Aggregate Quality Investigation Of The Meramec River Gravels, Kadri Ercin Kasapoglu

Masters Theses

"This thesis represents a study which was made to evaluate and interpret the downstream variations in the quality of the Meramec River gravels as coarse aggregate for concrete. Since gravel deposits constitute a valuable resource for a region, it is desirable that extent and quality variations of these deposits are known. It was hoped that an evaluation of certain properties of the Meramec River gravels would assist in determining the value of the Meramec River as undeveloped aggregate source by indicating the relative quality of the gravels from alternate sites of the river. For the purpose of this investigation, representative …

Masters Theses

"This paper studies the diagnosability of various types of binary address decoders. An attempt is made to develop a theory of diagnosis for logical faults that might occur in these logic nets. The developed theory is used to analyze these logic nets for various input combinations. Finally, the derivation of optimum diagnostic test sequences is considered"--Abstract, Page i.


Numerical Simulation Of One-Dimensional Three-Phase Fluid Flow In A Stratified Petroleum Reservoir With No Cross-Flow, Ali Mohammed Akbar Jan 1969

Numerical Simulation Of One-Dimensional Three-Phase Fluid Flow In A Stratified Petroleum Reservoir With No Cross-Flow, Ali Mohammed Akbar

Masters Theses

"A numerical model for linear, three-phase fluid flow in a stratified petroleum reservoir has been developed for the purpose of studying water-flooding performance characteristics. Gravity forces, capillary pressure and cross-flow were neglected, but the fluids were considered compressible and evaluations of dissolved gas concentrations have been accounted for. The model was used in evaluating the performance of a water flood project for a hypothetical reservoir which contained the three phases of oil, gas, and water. The results were then compared with those obtained using the Dykstra-Parsons technique. The model produces results which were found to be similar to those obtained …


The Background Concentrations Of Copper, Lead, And Zinc In Streams Of The "New Lead Belt", Missouri, Nicholas Howard Tibbs Jan 1969

The Background Concentrations Of Copper, Lead, And Zinc In Streams Of The "New Lead Belt", Missouri, Nicholas Howard Tibbs

Masters Theses

"This study was initiated to determine the background concentrations of copper, lead, and zinc in the streams of the Viburnum Trend or New Lead Belt of southeast Missouri. Analytical methods were developed for atomic adsorption spectroscopy. These methods initially consisted of coextraction of cooper, lead, and zinc using the APDC/MIBK system, and finally of extraction of copper by APDC/MIBK and direct analysis of lead and zinc using the newly developed "Sampling Boat" technique. The data obtained from these analyses were arranged in histograms and critically analyzed. The background concentrations were established to be 4-6 ppb for all three elements. Methods …
