An experimental study on the use of inclusion trapping devices for investment casting

Creator:

Buckingham, Ronald W.

Abstract:

A problem facing the casting industry is inclusions in the finished parts. The inclusions can be sand from the molds, oxides or other impurities in the metal charge. Inclusions lead to costly part repairing or reworking. A study was done to try and find inclusion trapping devices that could be...

Two-phase fluid break flow measurements and scaling in the advanced plant experiment (APEX)

Creator:

Pimentel, David Alan

Abstract:

The Oregon State University (OSU) Advanced Plant Experiment (APEX) is a one-fourth height, one-half time scale, reduced pressure integral systems test facility designed to model the long-term cooling capabilities of the emergency core cooling systems of the Westinghouse AP600. This study provides a brief description of the APEX test facility,...

An experimental/analytical investigation of buoyant jets in shallow water

Creator:

Hsiao, Entsung

Abstract:

This thesis presents the results of an experimental and analytical study of single-port buoyant turbulent jets discharged into shallow water. The experimental results include the measured downstream dilution, centerline concentration and trajectory. Independent parameters considered were Froude number, submerged depth, discharge angle and velocity ratio. Results indicate that decreasing the...
