The Geohydrology And Hydrogeochemistry Of The Proposed Garrison Lignite Mine, Kevin Morin

Theses and Dissertations

A local groundwater study is a necessity before the opening of any lignite mine in North Dakota. The study becomes an important reference for the environmental impact during mining and after reclamation.

This report is a groundwater study of the Proposed Garrison Lignite Mine, McLean County, North Dakota. The mineable lignite is in the lower Sentinel Butte Formation (Paleocene). The remainder of the Paleocene material at the proposed mine site is mostly fluvial silty clay deposits with some sand beds. Pleistocene deposits, mostly pebble loam (till), cover the Sentinel Butte at the mine site.

Ninety piezometers in twenty-eight nests were …

Petrology Of The Cenozoic Igneous Rocks Of The Tinton District, Black Hills, South Dakota - Wyoming, John T. Ray

Theses and Dissertations

The Tinton district is located on the northwest flank of the Black Hills uplift, 20 km west of Lead, South Dakota, along the Wyoming South Dakota border. The Tinton or Nigger Hill uplift comprises a central area of domed Precambrian Xstrata with marginal exposures of Paleozoic sedimentary rocks which dip radially outward on all sides. The area was intruded by Cenozoic igneous rocks that include a stock of quartz latite/quartz trachyte porphyry, an alkalic ring dike complex, lamprophyre dikes and intrusive breccia.

Precambrian rocks are represented by a sequence of metapelites thst have been intruded by metabasite and granitic pegmatite …

Mineralogy And Chemistry Of Clay-Rich Sediments In The Contact Zone Of The Bullion Creek And Sentinel Butte Formations (Paleocene), Billings County, North Dakota, David W. Brekke

Theses and Dissertations

The Bullion Creek and Sentinel Butte Formations (Paleocene) form over 50 percent of the surface and near surface sediments in the North Dakota part of the Williston Basin. These rocks are composed of sandstones, siltstones, claystones, and numerous lignite beds. A distinct surface color change from light colors in the Bullion Creek Formation to dark colors in the Sentinel Butte Formation serves as a boundary marker and is widely exposed in the Little Missouri River badlands. The color boundary is a product of weathering and is not readily apparent in the subsurface. The use of clay mineralogy was investigated as …

The Planning-Programming-Budgeting System: A Literature Review From A Mba Viewpoint, Randy L. Newman

Theses and Dissertations

Evaluation, whether of yourself or of an organization, is a delicate process. In the management field it is a fact of life as it touches upon such issues as worth, goals, performance, power, advancement, and responsibility. However, many decision-makers approach this subject very cautiously because of the various pitfalls involved and perhaps, because of the Biblical phrase which tells man to "judge not, lest ye shall be judged''.

However, organizations must evaluate their activities. People cannot work in organizations without knowing their objectives and the extent to which they are carrying them out. Therefore, who will ev.:1L..1.:1te and who will …

History Of The Department Of Speech Pathology And Audiology At The University Of North Dakota, Terri R. Morris

Theses and Dissertations

The Department, of Speech Pathology and Audiology at the University of North Dakota has been in existence since 1 February 1967 The purpose of this study was to accumulate a complete history of the department from the time a program in speech correction was begun as a part of the Department of Speech in the late 1940's through the spring semester 1978.

This thesis begins with a statement of purpose and a brief description of the present status of the department in Chapter I. The first section of Chapter II includes information about the early history of speech pathology in …

A Study Of A Wind Tunnel Measurement System For Unsteady Pressures Using Pneumatic Transmission Lines, Mohammed Javed Khan

Theses and Dissertations

The application of pneumatic transmission lines theory to a tube-scanning valve system for unsteady pressure measurements in the AFIT 5-foot wind tunnel is investigated. Transfer gains of various tube-scanning valve configurations were experimentally measured and the validity of a theoretical model verified for a frequency range of 20 Hz to 140 Hz. The selected system having a 0.0625-in. ID flexible tube of 84 in. length connected to a scanning valve was installed in the wind tunnel. Unsteady pressures introduced over an 18 percent airfoil at zero angle of attack were measured with this system. Data were collected for 0, 40, …

Bench-Scale Study Of Sulfur And Nitrogen Oxides Absoption By Nahcolite And Trona, Frederick R. Stern

Theses and Dissertations

The extent and rates of sulfur and nitrogen oxides 'dry' adsorption by nahcolite and trona were measured. Experiments were conducted by passing simulated flue gas through a fixed bed of test material. Variables considered in the study were particle size, reaction temperature, concentration of sulfur dioxide, and concentration of water vapor in the flue gas.

High reaction rates were noted for the adsorption of sulfur dioxide by nahcolite at reaction temperatures of 400-650° F and for particle diameters of 0.19 mm or less. Based on the adsorption of sulfur dioxide, certain tests resulted in nahcolite utilizations of over 95 pet. …

Rheological Study Of Solvent Refined Lignite Melts, Ajit Venkatraman

Theses and Dissertations

The rheology of solvent refined lignite (SRL) melts was studied using a Brookfield rotational viscometer with a Thermosel system to enable high temperature measurements. The SRL samples were obtained from the Project Lignite process development unit at the University of North Dakota. The effects of temperature cycling, air exposure during heating and continuous shearing over extended periods of time on the viscosity of SRL melts were investigated to develop a suitable method for measuring the viscosities of these melts.

The viscometric data were analyzed for shear dependence and tested using Newtonian, Bingham plastic, and power law models. The Newtonian model …

A History Of Coal Development In North Dakota, Colleen A. Oihus

Theses and Dissertations

Lignite coal, one of North Dakota's natural resources, is at the present time an issue of great concern for North Dakotans. This thesis explores the historical stages in the development of the lignite industry. During the 1804-1873 era, lignite was only an object of curiosity to the frontier element. As the frontier receded, the outlines of the lignite industry began to take form. From 1873 to 1900, large underground coal mining companies and smaller operations grew in number and size. The railroad freight rates on lignite shipments caused problems for the young industry during the 1890's.

The early twentieth century …

Design Of A Microprocessor Based Real Time Digital Controller, Venkatachalam Garimella

Theses and Dissertations

With the availability of microcomputers it is now possible to design low cost digital controllers. In the present work the design of a microprocessor based real time digital controller is presented. The microcomputer used was an 8080 based PROMPT 80. The necessary hardware to interface this computer with a 'plant' was designed and tested. The software for the controller was written such that it can be operated In Proportional, Proportional-Integral and Proportional-Integral-Difference modes. With minor changes in the programs the controller can be operated in Integral, Integral-Difference and Proportional-Difference modes. The. necessary modifications are indicated.
