Chronic Effect Of Low Ph On Fathead Minnow Survival, Growth And Reproduction, Donald I. Mount

United States Environmental Protection Agency: Publications

Fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas Rafinesque) were continuously exposed to reduced pH levels of 4.5, 5.2, 5.9, 6.6 and 7.5 (control) during a 13-month, one-generation test. Survival was not affected, even at the lowest pH tested. Fish behavior was abnormal, and fish were deformed at pH 4.5 and 5.2. Egg production and egg hatchability were reduced at pH 5.9 and lower, and all eggs were abnormal. A pH of 6.6 was marginal for vital life functions, but safe for continuous exposure. Free carbon dioxide, liberated by the addition of sulfuric acid to reduce the pH, may have had an unknown …

Breakdown Of The Laminar Flow Regime In Permeable-Walled Ducts, E. M. Sparrow, G. S. Beavers, T. S. Chen, J. R. Lloyd

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The stability of laminar flow in a parallel-plate channel having one permeable bounding wall is investigated by means of linear theory. The analysis lakes account of the coupling of the disturbance, fields in the channel and in the permeable material and of velocity slip at the surface of the permeable wall. Complementary experiments are performed in which the breakdown of the laminar regime in flat rectangular ducts is identified from pressure-drop measurements and from flow visualization studies. The experiments cover the range of slip velocities from 15-30 percent of the mean velocity and, in addition, the case of zero slip …

Decision-Directed Detector For Overlapping Pcm/Nrz Signals, Cheng Wang, Thomas L. Noack

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

A decision-directed (DD) technique for the detection of overlapping PCM/NRZ signals in the presence of white Gaussian noise is investigated. The performance of the DD detector is represented by probability of error PE versus input signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). To examine how much improvement in performance can be achieved with this technique, PE's with and without DD feedback are evaluated in parallel. Further, analytical results are compared with those found by Monte Carlo simulations. The results are shown in good agreement. © 1973, IEEE. All rights reserved.

A Study Of Medium And High Internal Phase Ratio Water/Polymer Emulsions, Kenneth J. Lissant, Kenneth G. Mayhan

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Medium and high internal phase ratio water/polymer emulsions were studied utilizing scanning electron microscope techniques. Results are reported for the geometry and distribution of droplets for water/polymer ratios from 1 1 to 9 1. Electron micrographs confirm those models which predicts polyhedral droplet formation at high internal phase ratios. © 1973.

Electrochemical Reduction Of Molybdenum(Vi) Compounds In Molten Lithium Chloride-Potassium Chloride Eutectic, Branko N. Popov, H. A. Laitinen

Faculty Publications

Molybdenum (VI) oxide reacts with molten LiCl-KCl eutectic at 450° to form MoO₂CI₂, which probably is present as an anion MoO₂Cl₄⁼, and pyromolybdate, Mo₂O₇⁼. Both of these species are electrochemically reduced to MoO₂, which can be reoxidized to MoO₂Cl₂ by current reversal. A second reduction step, observed whether MoO₃ or Mo₂O₇²⁻ is added to the melt, can be attributed to the reduction of MoO₄⁻⁻, formed as a secondary reaction product in the first …

Commentary On And Extension Of Calculative Procedure For Co2 Production, Ralph M. Rotty

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Faculty Publications

Further refinements are made in the method of calculating amounts of carbon dioxide released to the atmosphere through the combustion of fossil fuels. Data available in the UN Statistical Yearbook are used as the basic sources rather than the summary, World Energy Supplies, U.N. Statistical Papers, Series J because the most recent data are available several months earlier in the yearbook and because data are included for natural gasoline, natural gas liquids, and cement production. Coal, lignite, crude petroleum, “marketed” natural gas, flared natural gas, and cement are itemized separately and revised CO₂ emission estimates are made for …

Solving Three-Dimensional Potential Flow Problems By Means Of An Inverse Formulation And Finite Differences, Allen L. Davis, Roland W. Jeppson

Reports

A finite difference method is developed to solve the three-dimensional, steady, incompressible, potential flow equations obtained by using a potential function, o, and two mutually orthogonal stream functions, u and u*, to describe the flow. Problems are formulated in an inverse space where the potential function and the two stream functions are the independent variables, and the Cartesian coordinates x, y, and z are the dependent variables. The boundaries of the problem in the physical space, including the free surface, have known positions in the inverse space, so trial and error adjustments to the positions of the boundaries are unnecessary. …

Integrated Measurement Of Soil Moisture By Use Of Radio Waves, Duane G. Chadwick

Reports

An integrated value of soil moisture can be determine dby measuring the attenuation of vertically-polarized surface radio waves taht are propagated over the ground between a transmitting and receiving atenna. Soil moisture values in the root-zone region were measured over longitudinal distances typically ranging from 50 feet to 600 feet with good results. Integrated soil moisture measurements over greater distances are also possible. Received field strength of propaged radio surface waves closely matches theoretical calculations. The measurement is easily made and does not disturb the soil. Dense, green vegetation, such as alfalfa or corn, causes errors in measurement accuracy. Less …
