  • Modeling the thermal effects of fabricated fuel-to-cladding gap in fast reactor fuel

    Creator:
    Baker, Ronald Blair
    Abstract:
    This report presents a refined method for the calculation of fuel centerline temperatures and the linear-heat-rating-to-incipient melting, ' Q'[subscript m], of mixed-oxide fuel typical of that to be used in the Fast Flux Test Facility and in Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactors. Of primary concern are the effects of the...

  • Computer-assisted inventory control model for automobile spare parts distribution

    Creator:
    Stephanides, Photis Gregory
    Abstract:
    A model was developed for the inventory control of the Volkswagen spare parts distribution in Greece. The model utilizes the capabilities of a digital computer, and features four systems, the necessary system files and various routines. Flexible statistical forecasting techniques are included for forecasting the distributor parts demand. Computerized procedures...

  • An experimental/analytical investigation of deep submerged multiple buoyant jets

    Creator:
    Kannberg, Landis Dee
    Abstract:
    The results of an experimental and analytical study of deep submerged multiple-port thermal discharges are presented. The experimental results include the measured downstream thermal dilution, width, and centerline trajectory of the buoyant thermal plume from multiport jets. Independent parameters for which measurements were obtained include port spacing, discharge Froude Number,...

  • Wind tunnel simulation and field measurements of flow over a coastal headland

    Creator:
    Brownlow, Roger West
    Abstract:
    An experimental study was made of the average and turbulent wind characteristics of the flow over a model of a coastal headland. The scale of the model was 300:1, corresponding to a prototype size of 500 m. The data for validation of the model study was obtained from instruments mounted...

  • Performance and optimum design analysis/ computation for propeller type wind turbines

    Creator:
    Walker, Stel Nathan
    Abstract:
    Development of a performance analysis for propeller type wind turbines is presented. The analysis uses a strip theory approach that includes tip-loss and blade interference. A comparison is presented between analysis and test data. The comparison indicates that the analysis predicts wind turbine performance to an accuracy that is within...

  • Large displacement, high Reynolds number oscillating cylinder

    Creator:
    Chan, Yau Wai
    Abstract:
    Hydrodynamic forces on a cylinder oscillating horizontally underwater with its axis perpendicular to the motion were measured at the Oregon State University Wave Research Facility. The cylinder had an outer diameter of 12 inches and a length of 12 feet. For the data presented herein, the maximum displacement of the...

  • Analysis of heat pump and steam bleed-off systems linked with thermal-electric power plants to supply low-grade heating and cooling

    Creator:
    Ileri, Arif
    Abstract:
    This thesis analyzes two systems that can meet low-grade heating and/or cooling demands by operating in conjunction with thermal-electric power plants. At the application site, one of the systems, HPS, has water-to-air heat pumps that are connected to the supply and return lines of a plant-to-user loop. During heating, the...

  • Flow measurement and characterization in shallow geothermal systems used for downhole heat exchanger applications

    Creator:
    Churchill, David J.
    Abstract:
    This thesis reports on an investigation of flow patterns in shallow geothermal wells in Klamath Falls, Oregon, Although wells have been extensively used in the area, the exact nature of the flows in the wells has not been characterized. Flow characterization is a principal object of this study. Horizontal crossflows...

  • An investigation of slumping behavior in cold-phase fluidized bed

    Creator:
    Chao, Hsiao-hwa
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research project was to investigate, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the behavior of materials in partially slumped fluidized beds. View windows along the side of the experiment facility made visual observations of bed profiles possible. These observations were recorded on movie films showing the effects of variations...

  • Feasibility of utilizing an integrating nephelometer to measure visibility

    Creator:
    Nelson, William George
    Abstract:
    An integrating nephelometer was set up at the Eugene Airport which is located five miles north of Eugene, Oregon, on Highway 99 West. Continuous atmospheric scattering coefficient readings were obtained from July 1, 1969, to August 28, 1969. These data are converted to meteorological range through the use of the...
