  • Experimental studies of a partially defluidized bed with immersed heat exchange tubes

    Creator:
    Sitthiphong, Norkun
    Abstract:
    The object of this research study is to investigate and provide some fundamental information about bed slumping in a partially defluidized bed combustor. Due to the difficulty in making measurements and observations at high temperature, a dynamically similar cold phase fluidized bed was used to model the high temperature case....

  • A study of laser generated Rayleigh and Lamb waves in graphite/epoxy composites

    Creator:
    Park, Heeyong
    Abstract:
    The application of laser generated ultrasonics was first demonstrated in the mid-seventies and has shown good potential when applied to isotropic materials. However, its use with composite materials is still in the early stages of development. This study explores the potential for application of laser generated Rayleigh and Lamb waves...
