Computer Aided Optimal Design Of Helical Gears, S. N. Muthukrishnan Jan 1980

Computer Aided Optimal Design Of Helical Gears, S. N. Muthukrishnan

Dissertations and Theses

A random search method for optimum design of a pair of helical gears has been developed. The sequence of optimization consists of two principal components. The first is the selection phase, where the output is the starting solution for the design variables - module, facewidth, helix angle and number of teeth on the pinion. The input for the selection phase includes the application environment, approximate center distance, minimum helix angle, desired values of gear ratio, pinion speed and the power to be transmitted. The limits on each of the design variables and the constraints are imposed interactively during the first …


The Lb Wind-Tunnel, Larry Bennett Jan 1980

The Lb Wind-Tunnel, Larry Bennett

Honors Theses

A small subsonic wind-tunnel has been developed for further understanding of aerodynamic principles. This tunnel is small enough to be used on table tops so the student can get first-hand experience. The tunnel's working section is a clear plexiglass tube for easy viewing and provides ample work room. The biggest advantage of this tunnel is that it can be built in the average home workshop for approximately $60.00.


Finite Element Model Of A Timoshenko Beam With Structural Damping, Louis Ablen Roussos Jan 1980

Finite Element Model Of A Timoshenko Beam With Structural Damping, Louis Ablen Roussos

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations

A numerical integration technique, a modified version of the Newmark method, is applied to transient motion problems of systems with mass, stiffness, and small nonlinear damping. The nonlinearity is cast as a pseudo-force to avoid repeated recalculation and decomposition of the effective stiffness matrix; thus, the solution technique is dubbed the "pseudo-force Newmark method." Comparisons with exact and perturbation solutions in single-degree-of-freedom problems and with a Gear-method numerical solution in a cantilevered Timoshenko beam finite element problem show the solution technique to be efficient, accurate, and, thus, feasible provided the nonlinear damping is small. As a preliminary step into the …

Use Of Thermal Storage For Load Management In A Solar-Augmented Heat Pump System, James Thomas Schmitz Dec 1979

Use Of Thermal Storage For Load Management In A Solar-Augmented Heat Pump System, James Thomas Schmitz

Mechanical Engineering ETDs

Electric utilities are today faced with the dilemma of satisfying increasing demands for electrical energy while their ability to build new power plants is being severely curtailed primarily due to environmental concerns. By redistributing the power demand of individual customers (and thus the utility) with respect to time, greater overall electricity consumption can be met without increasing the generating capacity of the utility. This redistribution can be accomplished using thermal energy storage at the customer’s location. For heating and cooling of buildings, thermal storage, combined with off-peak period operation of the mechanical system's major electricity consuming equipment, can lower peak …


The Compatibility Of Mild Carbon Steel And Water In A Heat Pipe Application, David D. Kenney Dec 1979

The Compatibility Of Mild Carbon Steel And Water In A Heat Pipe Application, David D. Kenney

Mechanical Engineering ETDs

The phenomena that govern the performance and affect the lifetime of heat pipes are reviewed. The phenomena include the corrosion of metals by aqueous solutions, the diffusion of gases through metals, and the effects of hydrogen on metals. Heat pipes of 1015 C.D. carbon steel were fabricated and operated with a control group of 304 stainless steel heat pipes over the temperature range from 140° to 300° C. Results indicate that carbon steel/water heat pipes perform as well or better than 304 stainless steel/water heat pipes over the temperature range covered in this test.

Lee's Moment Method Applied To Binary Flow In Jet And Channel Devices Used For The Aerodynamic Separation Of Uranium Isotopes, Edward Eugene Holcomb Dec 1979

Lee's Moment Method Applied To Binary Flow In Jet And Channel Devices Used For The Aerodynamic Separation Of Uranium Isotopes, Edward Eugene Holcomb

Mechanical Engineering ETDs

Lees' moment method is applied to the problem of compressible, binary flow of uranium hexafluoride gas through a parallel plate chan­nel. The time-dependent numerical problem is solved to yield the steady state solution. The results obtained are preliminary to the solution of the flow field for the curved nozzle and colliding jet devices used in the aerodynamic separation of uranium isotopes. Lees' concept of two-sidedness of the distribution function doubles the number of variables required to describe the system, and the resulting set of moment equations is not easily solved. The assumptions of isothermal, hydrodynamically fully developed flow are made …
