Combustion mechanisms in wood fired boilers

Creator:: Tuttle, Kenneth Lewis
Abstract:: A program of research has been established at Oregon State University to study wood residue combustion using an experimental spreader-stoker combustor. This research was conducted to increase the understanding of combustion occurring in wood fired boilers. Using Douglas Fir screened to 3/8-3/4 inches, two 4x4 factorial experiments were conducted varying...

A determination of an exhaust hydrocarbon reactivity index for a vehicle powered by gasoline and liquefied natural gas

Creator:: Rossman, David Robert
Abstract:: Past research has shown that automobile exhaust is composed of a mixture of many different hydrocarbons and that some of these hydrocarbons contribute more to the smog problem than others. Natural gas has been proposed as an alternative to gasoline as a motor fuel, and it was desired to confirm...

An analytical model for predicting truck performance on interstate highways

Creator:: Cantwell, William Curtis
Abstract:: This thesis describes a Truck Performance Simulation Model developed for use in a United States Department of Transportation university research project entitled "The Energy, Economic and Environmental Consequences of Increased Vehicle Size and Weight." The performance of the truck is found by specifying its engine, driveline and tire characteristics and...

Combustion gas emissions spectra of Otto cycle engine operating on H₂, CO, and gasoline using a calibrated vidicon detector spectrometer

Creator:: Freeburn, Scott Alan
Abstract:: The capabilities of the Tektronix Model J2C/7J20 Rapid Scanning Spectrometer for the determination of molecular species resulting from Otto cycle combustion were experimentally investigated after a literature search of the subject area. Combustion of hydrogen-air, carbon monoxideair, and gasoline-air mixtures in the combustion chamber of a Cooperative Fuel Research engine...

Modes of vibration of inextensible cables suspended from two points

Creator:: Thompson, Roger S.
Abstract:: The equations of motion of a suspended, inextensible cable in the absence of damping are studied. A method is developed and illustrated for determining the frequencies and mode shapes for small oscillations about the equilibrium configuration. With the introduction of a new variable, the fourth order equation governing tangential displacement...

An investigation of the effects of immersed heat exchanger tube spacing and arrangement on the quality of fluidization in a cold phase two-dimensional fluidized bed

Creator:: Lockwood, Dwight Norris
Abstract:: The feasibility of fluidized bed combustion of coal for commercial and industrial steam power generation has been established and reported in the literature. Satisfactory removal of sulfur oxides from the combustion product gases has also been reported. In this experiment various heat exchanger tube patterns, of commercial size tubes, were...

A study of forces on simulated heat exchange tubes immersed in a cold fluidized bed

Creator:: Donovan, Jerry Eugene
Abstract:: The object of this research, project was to study how different parameters effect the magnitude and frequency composition of forces exerted on simulated heat exchange tubes immersed in a cold fluidized bed. Two arrays of tubes were assembled with the tubes mounted in an equilateral triangular pitch pattern. The center...

Fracture energies of Zircaloy and some zirconium alloys

Creator:: Rawers, James C.
Abstract:: The fracture mechanics of Charpy V-notch specimens of Zircaloy-4 and phosphorus contaminated Zircaloy-4 were investigated. Three-point bend and impact tests with Charpy V-notch samples provided an efficient and economical method of fracture evaluation. Fracture failure was monitored by the force-displacement curve. Failure was initially analyzed using fracture toughness values as...

Energy resource conservation in new large power plants

Creator:: King, David C.
Abstract:: This thesis evaluates new, large power generating plants of the various types expected to be practicable in the time span of the next 50 years. By using thermodynamic principles, the plants are evaluated on the basis of conservation of energy; the basic assumption is that the best policy is the...
