  • Coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy of gases

    Creator:
    Guthals, Dennis Marc
    Abstract:
    The development and applications of a 0.2 cm⁻¹ resolution Nd-YAG laser powered coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy, CARS, spectrometer for gas phase studies is chronicled in this thesis. Applications including CARS lineshape analysis, resonant CARS, and CARS of transient species and excited state molecules is reported. The intensity of the signal...

  • Mathematical morphology : a case study of linear shift-invariant filter implementation

    Creator:
    Eo, Jin-Woo
    Abstract:
    Morphological filters have shown good performance in various image processing applications. Furthermore, their algorithms are easy to implement in special architectures, with the exception that linear filtering cannot be implemented in many of these cases. In this study, a new architecture and corresponding algorithm, capable of realizing linear shiftinvariant filters,...

  • Stabilizing control strategies for the doubly-excited machine

    Creator:
    Permantier, Gerald A.
    Abstract:
    Mathematical models for the doubly-fed machine are presented. The properties of the machine with rotor excitation as supplied by a power converter with voltage source character are reviewed. The peculiar torque-speed characteristic of the machine in this operating mode and its effect on the stability of the machine are presented....

  • Application of laser spectroscopy to structure and dynamics of small molecular systems

    Creator:
    Bozlee, Brian J.
    Abstract:
    A variety of laser spectroscopic methods are employed in this thesis research for studies of CF₃NO, an interesting model photodissociative system, and for investigation of low energy rotations and vibrations of small molecules and low molecular weight clusters in free jet expansions. Nonradiative energy decay for electronically excited CF₃NO is...

  • Optimal control of an induction motor

    Creator:
    Yarimbiyik, Bulent
    Abstract:
    With the development of converters and inverters, it became possible to control the stator current of an induction motor. The differential equations which describe transient behavior of the induction motor are conveniently expressed by transforming the stator and rotor variables to d-q axes rotating at synchronous speed. The transient behavior...

  • Mechanism and equilibrium modeling of aluminosilicate scaling in alkaline media

    Creator:
    Gasteiger, Hubert A.
    Abstract:
    Problems with aluminosilicate scales in pulp and paper recycle streams create an interest in the formation mechanism and the chemical equilibrium of aluminosilicates. Evaluating solubility data from a system containing Na⁺ CI⁻, and OH⁻ ions as well as aluminium and silicon compounds, allowed to elucidate the characteristics of the aluminosilicate...

  • Chemical equilibrium of nonprocess elements in the kraft recovery cycle

    Creator:
    Streisel, Robert C.
    Abstract:
    Non-process elements are present in all kraft recovery systems. Non-process elements are defined as those elements which are not essential to the chemical process, i.e., are neither active pulping chemicals (e.g., NaOH and Na₂S in the kraft process), nor compounds present as a result of incomplete conversion of makeup chemicals...

  • Reaction kinetic study and determination of controlling resistances during alkaline sulfite/anthraquinone pulping

    Creator:
    Medhora, Hiraz Kekobad
    Abstract:
    A survey of the pulping literature indicated that although the kinetics of the Kraft Pulping process has been studied in detail , very few studies have been reported for Alkaline Sulfite / Anthraquinone (ASAQ) pulping process. There is no existing rate model for this pulping process. Hence, the objectives of...

  • A computer program to solve aqueous inorganic equilibrium systems using Pitzer's method to determine activity coefficients

    Creator:
    Kelly, Barry
    Abstract:
    Chemical equilibrium is a major factor in many natural and industrial systems. The ability to predict ionic equilibrium is extremely valuable in industry in solving problems without the costs involved in full scale experiments. An example of an application in the pulp and paper industry is the prediction of non-process...

  • Frequency response function analysis of the equatorial margin of Brazil using gravity and bathymetry

    Creator:
    Macario, Ana L. G.
    Abstract:
    The overall objective of this study is to address questions concerning the long-term mechanical strength of the lithosphere across the equatorial margin of Brazil. The approach used in this study consists of calculating the frequency response function estimates, also called admittance, using gravity and bathymetry data. These experimental estimates are...
