A simplified model of the combined particle convective and
radiative components of heat transfer between large-particle gas-fluidized
beds and immersed surfaces was developed. This analytical
model was based on the single particle formulation of Adams and Welty
[4,9], with the added assumptions of one-dimensional heat conduction
in the particle and...
An analytical model of the radiative contribution to the
total heat transfer between a large-particle (greater
than 1 mm) gas-fluidized bed and an immersed horizontal
tube is discussed. The model is applied to the case of a
bubbling bed and the emulsion phase contribution is obtained from a detailed analysis...
The problem of synchronization arises in the interaction among
digital systems not sharing a common clock reference. The reliability of synchronizers is related to metastable operation of
bistable elements. Because of its subtle nature, the phenomenon
until recently was not widely researched. However, the literature
now contains a sound theoretical...
The theoretical analysis of an unseeded, isothermal mixed-suspension
mixed-product-removal (MSMPR) crystallizer with a fines trap is developed.
The lumped parameter system equations are presented for a homogeneous
nucleation and a number-dependent secondary-nucleation model. Linear
stability analysis and system simulations are used to investigate the
system's dynamic behavior.
Modal control algorithms...
This compilation of theses and dissertations (a part of the OSU Bibliographic Series) for the period 1970-1977 reflects this university's emphasis on research and graduate study. It may be viewed as an indicator of the contributions made to the state of Oregon through graduate study and research at Oregon State...
The carboxylesterases of three species of diptera, the flesh
fly (Sarcophaga bullata, Park.), the black blow fly (Phormia regina,
Meig.), and the house fly (Musca domestica, L.) were compared in relation
to hydrolytic activity against three substrates, response to
inhibition and induction, isozyme composition, and age-dependent
variation in activity. Similar...
In production processes, there are two types of
variations that affect production quality - - variations
produced by chance causes and variations produced by
assignable causes. One of the main instruments in quality
control used to control quality by distinguishing between
variations produced by chance causes and a real process...
