Heat and mass transfer rates associated with the drying of plywood veneer using superheated steam at various angles of impingement

South, Veeder, III (1967-08-31)
Heat and mass transfer rates associated with the drying of Southern pine and Douglas fir veneer in air and in steam at various temperatures and angles of impingement

Laity, Walter William (1969-10-13)

Southern pine and Douglas fir veneer samples were dried in air under the following conditions: air temperatures were 350, 600, and 750°F; air velocities were 50, 100, and 150 feet per second, and angles of impingement ...
Heat transfer in the splash-zone of a high temperature fluidized bed

Pidwerbecki, David (1994-08-29)
Heuristic algorithm for multistage scheduling in food processing industry

Juwono, Cynthia P. (1992-03-16)

A multistage production system consists of a number of production stages that are interrelated, that is the output from one stage forms input to the next stage. There are constraints associated with each stage as well ...
High cycle fatigue modeling and analysis for deck floor truss connection details

DePiero, Anthony H. (1997-06-25)

The Oregon Department of Transportation is responsible for many steel deck truss bridges containing connection details that are fatigue prone. A typical bridge, the Winchester Bridge in Roseburg, Oregon, was analyzed to ...
Hybrid Flowshop Scheduling with Dual Resources in a Supply Chain

Mehravaran, Yasaman (2013-04-17)

This dissertation addresses a hybrid-flow shop scheduling problem with dual resource constraints in a supply chain. Most of the traditional scheduling problems deal with machine as the only resource. However, other resou ...
Hydrodynamic signatures of a 2-D gas-solid fluidized bed

Kopczynski, Sean Peter (1991-11-07)
Hydroelastic modeling of a wave energy converter using the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian finite element method in LS-DYNA

Meicke, Stephen A. (2011-08-17)

This thesis investigates the applicability of the finite element method to model wave energy converter (WEC) hydroelasticity using LS-DYNA. The proposed methodology uses the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation to m ...
The impact of alternative cell locations and alternative routes of material handling equipment in the design of cellular manufacturing systems

Karim, Yunan (1999-12-09)

Cellular Manufacturing Systems (CMS) have claimed many advantages over traditional job shop processes. Some of the advantages reported by several users of CMS are reduction in throughput time, reduction in WIP inventory, ...
The impact of fabrication methods on the mass flux characteristics of contactor membranes in absorption/desorption cycle micro-scale heat pumps

Tseng, Chih-Heng (2003-12-19)
The impact of mobile wireless technology in higher education classrooms

Chompu-inwai, Rungchat (2005-12-07)

This research employed both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies to explore the impact of mobile wireless technology (MWT) in higher education classrooms. The methodology was developed using systems engi ...
The impact of organizational context on work team effectiveness: a study of production and engineering teams

Doolen, Toni L. (2001-04-06)

Teams are an integral part of organizations today. This research explored the relationships between nine organizational context variables, team processes, and three measures of team effectiveness. The research was conduc ...
Improving part load efficiency of screw air compressors

Maxwell, Jonathan B. (1992-11-16)

Air compressor systems are inefficient energy transfer devices even under the best of conditions, at full load. When only part load is required, efficiency drops further. This thesis attempts to improve part load effic ...
Incorporating uncertainty into diagnostic analysis of mechanical systems

Mocko, Gregory M. (2001-05-30)

Analyzing systems during the conceptual stages of design for characteristics essential to the ease of fault diagnosis is important in today's mechanical systems because consumers and manufacturers are becoming increasing ...
Indentation hardness of Douglas fir and Western hemlock lumber related to density

Corder, Stanley E. (1967-05-12)

Indentation hardness tests were made on sections of 211 pieces of Douglas fir and 208 pieces of Western hemlock at a moisture content of about 11 percent. Specific gravity and visual-density evaluations were also dete ...
Influence of laser processing on the corrosion and microstructure of zirconium based material

Reitz, W. (Wayne) (1990-08-13)
Initial spatial motion of a rigid body on removal of one constraint

Batra, Ajoy (1993-10-19)

This thesis presents a discussion of motion of a six-legged walking machine following removal of one leg constraint. To take a step, one leg must be lifted and placed at some other position. As soon as the constraint ...
Innovation strategies for product design

Nix, Anthony A. (2011-06-15)

Innovation can be considered the driving force behind product design. This thesis strives to improve the ease at which innovation is achieved. Firstly by examining how design information is presented and comprehended by ...
An integrated approach to engineering curricula improvement with multi-objective decision modeling and linear programming

Shea, John E. (2010-10-26)

The structure of engineering curricula currently in place at most colleges and universities has existed since the early 1950's, and reflects an historical emphasis on a solid foundation in math, science, and engineering ...
