Creator:: Han, Seog-young
Abstract:: A dynamic propagation of a finite crack of opening mode in a micropolar elastic solid was investigated. By using an integral transform method, a pair of twodimensional singular integral equations governing stress and couple stress was formulated in terms of the displacement transverse to the crack, macro- and microrotations, and...

Creator:: Ranasinghe, Jatila
Abstract:: This report presents the analysis of ceramic heat exchangers for use in a combined-cycle, wood-fired power plant. The combined-cycle system investigated is characterized by having a wood-fueled combustor, an indirect-fired gas turbine, and a Rankine steam cycle. The direct use of low-grade fuels, such as wood, in present gas turbines...

Creator:: Alavizadeh, Seyed Nasser
Abstract:: This study is primarily concerned with the measurement of the local radiative component of total heat transfer around a horizontal tube immersed in a large particle fluidized bed at elevated temperatures.Total heat transfer was also measured in order to assess the relative radiation contribution.The radiation measurement probe employs a silicon...

Creator:: Brawn, Robert Charles
Abstract:: This report presents the off-design analysis of various wood-fired combined-cycle power plants using a computer model to simulate plant performance. The combined-cycle systems investigated are characterized by having a woodfueled combustor, an indirect-fired gas turbine, and a Rankine steam cycle. This work was conducted as part of a larger biomass...

Creator:: Goshayeshi, Ali
Abstract:: An experimental study is described in which time-average local heat transfer coefficients were obtained for arrays of horizontal tubes immersed in a hot fluidized bed. Spatial-averaged heat transfer coefficients, computed from local values, are also reported. Refractory particles with surface mean diameters of 2.14 mm and 3.23 mm were fluidized...

Creator:: George, Thomas L.
Abstract:: A model is developed that allows the prediction of the stress-strain distribution in a mixed carbide sphere pac fuel pin during irradiation. The model is coupled with a previously developed model for the thermal behavior of the pin. The one-dimensional (radial at various axial locations) solution is for quasi-steady pin...
