In this thesis we consider boundary and initial value problems
associated with the melting of homogeneous cylinders and
spheres. The study includes the temperature distribution in cylinders
and spheres which are perfectly insulated at the surface and
subjected to a heat input respectively along the axis and at the
center....
A numerical model was developed which predicts the dynamic
response of a single mooring line and a buoy of forty feet diameter
to sinusoidal waves, wind and current in all deep waters. All forces
and reactions were considered to be in one plane.
The basic equations for the mooring line...
In a typical method of database design, ER diagrams are used to represent the conceptual schema of the database. Use-cases are now widely used to capture requirements in designing the basic architecture of an object-oriented system. Use-cases are highly effective in designing forms required for data insertion, retrieval, update, and...
Decision support systems (DSS) have been used to a very limited extent in pond aquaculture. This study documents the development of a DSS (POND) which allows representation of an entire pond aquaculture facility, and provides analysis capabilities in the form of simulation models and an economics package. Simulation tools in...
The total amount of nitrogen and phosphorus in animal manures, and the proportion of this amount that becomes available as dissolved inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus within a month after manures are added to water were examined in the context of fertilization guidelines for pond aquaculture. A literature study was conducted...
The in-line force power spectrum is predicted by the frequency domain maximum force coefficient [C[subscript μn](z,f[subscript n])] vs. Keulegan-Carpenter number [K[subscript n] (z,f[subscript n])] relationship. The frequency domain Keulegan- Carpenter number is defined as the velocity from the amplitude spectrum at f divided by the respective frequency and diameter of...
