  • 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....

  • John Wesley Powell : science and reform in a positive context

    Creator:
    Zernel, John Joseph, 1945-
    Abstract:
    John Wesley Powell worked actively for public land system reform while a director of geographical and geological surveys in the West from 1869 to 1894. Although this has won him acclaim as a conservationist, the basis of Powell's linkage of reform with scientific work is poorly understood. A study of...

  • Engineering analysis of a rotary dryer : drying of wood particles

    Creator:
    Kamke, Frederick A.
    Abstract:
    Rotary dryers are the most commonly used wood drying system in the particleboard industry. These dryers also play an increasingly important role in drying wood residues for fuel. Many potential benefits may be realized through an improved understanding of the rotary drying process. A rotary dryer simulation model was developed,...

  • Description of the plant communities and succession of the Oregon coast grasslands

    Creator:
    Ripley, James Douglas
    Abstract:
    In an effort to describe the plant communities and succession of the Oregon coastal grasslands, vegetation and environmental data were collected from 75 stands at 24 separate locations ranging from Cape Falcon in Tillamook County to Cape Ferrelo in Curry County. The vegetation data consisted of cover and frequency values...

  • Numerical study of natural convection in square partitioned and non-partitioned enclosures

    Creator:
    Sukkaset, Prasart
    Abstract:
    Heat transfer characteristics and associated temperature and flow fields for natural convection in two-dimensional, square, partitioned and non-partitioned enclosures have been determined for Grashof numbers ranging from 10³ to 10⁶. The vertical side walls of the enclosure are isothermal with all other surfaces assumed to be adiabatic. An adiabatic partition...
