Some Applications Of Statistical Quality Control Methods To The Preparation, Purchase And Calorimetry Of Steam Coal, Arthur P. Bellinghausen
Some Applications Of Statistical Quality Control Methods To The Preparation, Purchase And Calorimetry Of Steam Coal, Arthur P. Bellinghausen
Bachelors’ Theses
This thesis is an attempt to establish the applicability of a statistical method of quality control to several problems involving maintenance of fuel quality standards. Although the technique has found increasingly important applications in mass production industries, its use in analysis of fuel characteristics has been given little, if any, study if current catalogues of the literature are authoritative. Analyses of data drawn from publications of the Bureau of Vines have been used to test the limitations of the method. Original data collected by the author shows statistical control to exist over sufficient samples to assure the soundness of conclusions …
Playgrounds And Recreation Areas In Real Estate Subdivisions, Joseph L. Doyle
Playgrounds And Recreation Areas In Real Estate Subdivisions, Joseph L. Doyle
Bachelors’ Theses
With the coming of the machine age, the need of adequate playground and recreation areas in large cities is steadily increasing. During the past ten years, or more, congested cities have found it necessary to supply at any cost, playground and. recreation areas, for their people, who from year to year find that they have more and more leisure time at their disposal. In an unlimited number of instances the only way this could be secured was by buying valuable land, wrecking the buildings thereon, and thus provide open spaces for recreation at an enormous cost to the city. Had …
Lake Shore Developments, Albert Theodore Bleck
Lake Shore Developments, Albert Theodore Bleck
Bachelors’ Theses
Along the shore line of Lake Michigan are bluffs approximately fifty to sixty feet high above the level of the lake. With the exception of approximately two or three miles, where the ground elevation is not much above the lake level these bluffs are almost continuous along the shore. This low land extends from a short distance north of Wisconsin Street to a short distance south of the Illinois Steel Company's plant. The territory north of Wisconsin Street to the City Limits is almost entirely residential and, therefore, cannot be considered favorably as regards to the location of a mnufacturing …
The Decreasing Of City Garbage And Sewage Sludge, O. Henry Babcock
The Decreasing Of City Garbage And Sewage Sludge, O. Henry Babcock
Bachelors’ Theses
At the present time there seems to be no general solution of the problem of garbage and sewage sludge disposal, and the chances are that there never will be. The problem in each city is different so that no set rule can be given that will apply to every city. Therefore it is an original problem with each city, governed by certain conditions existing there.
A Thesis Presented To The President And The Faculty Of Marquette University For The Degree Of Bachelor Of Science In Civil Engineering And Bachelor Of Science In Electrical Engineering, Anthony B. Czachurski, Benjamin D. Ratke, Joseph G. Casey, William H. Stephan
A Thesis Presented To The President And The Faculty Of Marquette University For The Degree Of Bachelor Of Science In Civil Engineering And Bachelor Of Science In Electrical Engineering, Anthony B. Czachurski, Benjamin D. Ratke, Joseph G. Casey, William H. Stephan
Bachelors’ Theses
In the work covered by this thesis it is desired to examine an undeveloped water power for the purpose of producing electrical energy as a commercial comodity. Experience has taught that it is best to ascertain first where the product will find its market, and to follow up a satisfactory showing at that end by determining the power capacity of the source, the feasibility of harnessing the same, and the cost of accomplishing this. This program would be adopted in any commercial enterprise to insure a reliable conclusion, and will be followed as closely as possible in the work covered …
Testing Of The Racine Street Highway Bridge: City Of Milwaukee, Gardner P. Allen, Ernest Gomez Arzapalo
Testing Of The Racine Street Highway Bridge: City Of Milwaukee, Gardner P. Allen, Ernest Gomez Arzapalo
Bachelors’ Theses
The object of this test was to determine experimentally, the live load stresses in the main members of the Racine Street Bridge, and thus to ascertain whether or not the theoretical live and dead load stresses were greater or less than the theoretical dead load plus the actual live load stresses. If less, the bridge could not be considered safe for the traffic which it now carries. The dead load stresses in the various members were determined analytically, and to these were added the respective live load stresses obtained by this test, thus obtaining the total stress in the various …
A Commercial Efficiency Test Of A Power Plant Located At Marquette University, Edward James Dunphy, James Edward Zimmermann
A Commercial Efficiency Test Of A Power Plant Located At Marquette University, Edward James Dunphy, James Edward Zimmermann
Bachelors’ Theses
The purpose of the test was to determine the coat of generating one kilowatt-hour of electrical energy under existing conditions of operation. The plant under test is located at the Marquette University Power House and consists of a Filer Stowell Company simple, horizontal, now-condensing Corliss steam engine, with an Allis Chalmers Company direct current generator belt connected, and one Fairbanks, Morse & Company horizontal return tubular boiler. The coal used during the test was Pocahontas screenings, costing three and twenty-five cents per ton of 2000 pounds, delivered in the boiler-room.
