Design And Construction Of An Electronic Gain-Phase Meter, Gabriel G. Skitek Jan 1949

Design And Construction Of An Electronic Gain-Phase Meter, Gabriel G. Skitek

Masters Theses

"There are many communication and electronic circuits, such as filters, phase-shifting networks, matching networks, voltage amplifiers with and without feedback, whose proper usage with associated equipment depends upon the knowledge of the variation with frequency of the voltage ratio and phase angle between the output and input sinusoidal voltages or currents...It is the purpose of this thesis to design and build an electronic instrument that will measure the voltage gain and phase angle between two sinusoidal voltages or current of communication circuits, in such a manner as to aid the student in visualizing how these quantities vary with frequency, and …

Analysis Of Cascade Of Four-Terminal Networks, Ernest Randolph Roehl Jan 1949

Analysis Of Cascade Of Four-Terminal Networks, Ernest Randolph Roehl

Masters Theses

"The object of this thesis is to find analytic expressions for the voltage and current variations along a structure composed of a cascade of identical dissymmetrical four-terminal networks driven harmonically at the sending end and working into an impedance at the receiving end and an impedance that can be placed at any of the junctions along the cascade. The method of analysis that is applied is analogous to that used in solving the long-line problem. A transmission system usually consists of the line or cable itself plus numerous other links whose purpose it is to correct defects in the line …

A Study Of Cathode Drift Compensation In D-C Amplifiers, Joseph W. Rittenhouse Jan 1949

A Study Of Cathode Drift Compensation In D-C Amplifiers, Joseph W. Rittenhouse

Masters Theses

"The expression, cathode drift, has to do with the random variations in vacuum tube plate current which are attributable to similar variations in emission velocities of electrons leaving hot cathodes. The fact that these random current changes appear to result from spurious drifts in cathode potential, since all other electrode potentials are unrelated to them, give rise to the expression, cathode drift...The problem with which this paper is concerned is a study of some of the possibilities of compensating for cathode drift effects in a single amplifier stage. Specifically, this paper will: (A) present a detailed mathematical and graphical analysis …

Analysis Of Simultaneous Faults By The Method Of Symmetrical Components, Robert Marshall Montgomery Jan 1948

Analysis Of Simultaneous Faults By The Method Of Symmetrical Components, Robert Marshall Montgomery

Masters Theses

"The object of this thesis is to present a method for the analytic determination of fault currents and voltages of a symmetrical three-phase system that is subjected to three simultaneous faults. The fault analysis is to be effected by the method of symmetrical components...Though relatively infrequent, simultaneous faults are important because relay systems, operating satisfactorily for single faults, may fail to isolate simultaneous faults. Therefore, it seems worthwhile to have in convenient form a method for calculating short-circuit currents and voltages caused by faults occurring at the same time at three separate and distinct points of a system. It is …

Design Of A Radio Broadcasting Station, John William Hamman Jan 1948

Design Of A Radio Broadcasting Station, John William Hamman

Masters Theses

"In the design of any piece of equipment, before any work whatsoever is done, a reason for developing the object must be apparent to all concerned. Any expenditure of time, labor and money must be properly justified before action can be taken. In the case of this paper, then, the reason for designing a broadcast radio station for the Missouri School of Mines & Metallurgy at Rolla, Missouri is twofold: First, to provide an additional instrument whereby instruction may be given to students interested in the study of radio; second, to supply the residents of Rolla and vicinity with entertainment …

Rural Distribution Line Protection, William Henry Rollman Jan 1939

Rural Distribution Line Protection, William Henry Rollman

Professional Degree Theses

"Considerable attention has been given the problem of providing low load density rural territory with electric service. In order that such supply may be economically justifiable, distribution system construction and operating costs must be considerably lower than that prevailing in urban or other territory having better load factors. It is the distribution engineer's problem to design, construct, operate and maintain a distribution system to furnish adequate and economical electric service to this low load density rural territory. In general, the rural line involves not only the circuit itself, but also the station equipment including transformers and protective devices for both …

The Use Of Activated Alumina For Reclaiming And Reconditioning Turbine, Transformer And Circuit Breaker Oils, Thomas Odie English

Professional Degree Theses

"Advancements during the past few years have provided oil manufacturers with ample reason to claim that good oils no longer wear out because of use, but that deterioration by various destructive agencies such as moisture, air, heat, oxidation, emulsification and electro-chemical action may have the effect of rendering the oil totally unfit for use"--page 1.

Design Of A 2 Hp Repulsion Start Induction Motor, Joseph Worley Jan 1931

Design Of A 2 Hp Repulsion Start Induction Motor, Joseph Worley

Professional Degree Theses

"The Repulsion Start Induction motor comprises a wound field or stator of laminated structure and a wound armature or rotor whose coils are connected to a commutator upon which brushes bear and function during the starting period. This motor operates as a repulsion motor during the starting period and at a predetermined speed the short circuiting device actuates and short circuits the commutator. The motor then operates as an induction or squirrel cage type. The starting torque of this type of motor is exceptionally high, generally 300% to 400% of full load torque. Consequently this type of motor is regarded …
