Temperature measurement, electrical characteristics, and lorentz mixing of alkali seeded flames

Pattee, Heidi Ann (1992-01-23)

When trace quantities of an alkali element are added to a flame, its optical and electrical properties change significantly. Addition of alkali seed to both premixed and diffusion flames has been used in the developme ...
Testing and evaluating the combustion characteristics of waste fuels

Canova, Joseph H. (1992-05-08)

Effective combustion of waste fuels requires an understanding of the fuels characteristics. Gaseous and particulate emissions, ash residues and combustion properties are of interest to many; those that produce and se ...
A theoretical and experimental study of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis of titanium carbide

Huque, Ziaul (1991-01-10)

Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) is a new method of producing advanced ceramic materials and offers an attractive alternative to conventional methods of materials processing. An experimental investig ...
Theory and application of vector space similarity measures in computer assisted conceptual design

Poppa, Kerry Ryan, 1982- (2011-08-22)

A number of computational tools now exist to aid in developing conceptual solutions based on a functional description of a design problem. A key limitation of these tools is the way results are organized for presentatio ...
A theory of product design process measurement

Wright, Alan Louis (1999-10-21)

This dissertation approaches the problem of how to design process measurements by identifying process attributes which are common to all product development processes. By classifying the generic attributes of a product ...
Thermal annealing of Mo/Si multilayers to assess the stability relevant to soft x-ray projection lithography

Viliardos, Michael A. (1992-07-23)
Thermal characterization technique for thin dielectric films

Indermuehle, Scott W. (1998-04-14)

A phase sensitive measurement technique that permits the simultaneous determination of two independent thermal properties of thin dielectric films is presented. Applying the technique results in a film's thermal diffusi ...
Thermal contact resistances in a thermal conductivity test system

Schneider, Donald A. (1998-08-18)

The thermal contact conductance (TCC) between two machined pieces of stainless steel was studied. A guarded hot plate thermal conductivity test fixture was designed and built for the experiment. Factors investigated in ...
Three-dimensional, nonlinear viscoelastic analysis of laminated composites : a finite element approach

Wang, Min (1993-06-01)

Polymeric composites exhibit time-dependent behavior, which raises a concern about their long term durability and leads to a viscoelastic study of these materials. Linear viscoelastic analysis has been found to be inad ...
Time-domain modeling of heaving point absorber wave energy converters, including power take-off and mooring

Ruehl, Kelley (2011-06-10)

Wave energy conversion is still in its infancy, and in order for it to become a commercially viable technology, developers, investors and utilities need to estimate a Wave Energy Converter's (WEC's) performance for the w ...
Towards a guided framework for innovative engineering through the generation and evaluation stages of concept design

Oman, Sarah Kay (2012-06-13)

This work proposes a framework of concept generation and evaluation that takes into consideration the benefit of creativity and innovation in current market trends. By educating engineers in how to increase creativity in ...
Transient nonlinear deformations of viscoelastic membranes

Jenkins, Christopher H. M. (1991-07-31)
Trust, communication and creativity in new product development teams

Siacotos, Thomas John Charles (1998-03-13)

The researcher explored interpersonal trust (a construct from the fields of psychology and sociometry) in the context of engineering work groups. The study explored the potential antecedents of trust and the relationsh ...
Two projectiles connected by a flexible tether dropped in the atmosphere

Frost, Geoffrey W. (1999-12-02)

This study investigates the atmospheric flight dynamics of a munition system and the effect of a tether reel resistance mechanism for limiting the impact that the unreeling process has on the munition system. The munitio ...
Two-phase fluid break flow measurements and scaling in the advanced plant experiment (APEX)

Pimentel, David Alan (1996-05-09)
Uniform residence time in microreactor-assisted solution deposition of CdS thin-films for CIGS photovoltaic cells

Hires, Clayton Lamar (2011-01-12)

Photovoltaic (PV) cells have long been an attractive alternative for the consumption of fossil fuels but current manufacturing practices suffer from poor energy efficiency, large carbon footprints, low material utilizati ...
A usability comparison of PDA-based quizzes and paper-and-pencil quizzes

Segall, Noa (2003-07-17)

In the last few years, many schools and universities have incorporated personal digital assistants (PDAs) into their teaching curricula, in an attempt to enhance students' learning experience and reduce instructors' wo ...
The use of electrochemical micromachining for making a microfloat valve

Park, Sang-Bin (1999-09-23)

Micromanufacturing consists of processes for producing structures, devices or systems with feature sizes measured in micrometers. Micromanufacturing began in the mid-1960's with microelectronics fabrication technology. I ...
Using discrete-event simulation to study the influence of log yard sorting on sawmill processing efficiency of small-diameter timber

Pinon, Olivia J. (2005-05-26)

A sawmill is similar to other manufacturing enterprises when it comes to making decisions, scheduling production and meeting customer demands. In order to help sawmills achieve their goals, and because there is such a hi ...
