Volumetric receiver development : a heat transfer and design evaluation of an advanced air heating solar thermal central receiver concept

Creator:: Drost, M. K.
Abstract:: The volumetric receiver is an advanced solar central receiver concept designed to produce high temperature air. This document presents the results of a heat transfer and performance evaluation of the volumetric receiver concept. The volumetric receiver consists of an array of ceramic fins or fibers arranged in concentric rows around...

Water relations and associated morphology of conditioned Douglas-fir and jack pine seedlings subjected to periods of drought stress

Creator:: McClain, K. M.
Abstract:: Significant post planting mortality of young conifer seedlings often occurs on drought prone sites because seedlings fail to either establish, or maintain favourable water relations. Survival is contingent upon growth which occurs when turgor pressure is above a threshold level. Since growth after planting is influenced by nursery cultural practices,...

Analysis of discontinuities in quantum waveguide structures

Creator:: Weisshaar, A., Lary, J., Goodnick, S. M., and Tripathi, V. K.
Abstract:: We have used the modal expansion of the wave function in the discontinuity region based on the superposition principle together with a mode-matching technique to investigate the transmission characteristics of semiconductor quantum wire structures with discontinuities. Our calculations compare quite well with published results for the theoretical transmission coefficient and...

Methane cycling in the sediments of Lake Washington

Creator:: Kuivilal, K. M., Murray, J. W., Devol, A. H., Lidstrom, M. E., and Reimers, Clare E.
Abstract:: Aerobic oxidation is important in the cycling of methane in the sediments of Lake Washington. About half of the methane flux from depth is oxidized to CO, in the upper 0.7 cm of the sediments and the remainder escapes into the water column. In terms of the total carbon budget...

Zonal Momentum Balance at the Equator

Creator:: Dillon, T. M., Moum, J. N., Chereskin, T. K., and Caldwell, D. R.
Abstract:: The conventional view of equatorial dynamics requires that the zonal equatorial wind stress be balanced, in the mean, by the vertical integral of “large-scale” terms, such as the zonal pressure gradient, mesoscale eddy flux, and mean advection, over the upper few hundred meters. It is usually presumed that the surface...

Submersible observations of deep-reef fishes of Heceta Bank, Oregon

Creator:: Pearcy, William G., Stein, David L., Hixon, Mark Anthony, Pikitch, Ellen K., Barss, William H., and Starr, Richard M.
Abstract:: Rockfishes, Sebastes spp.. were the most numerous and speciose fishes seen during 16 submersible dives from 64 to 305 m depth in the vicinity of Heceta Bank off the coast of Oregon. Dense schools of juvenile rockfishes and large yellowtail rockfish, S. flavidus, were observed only over rocky, high relief...

Methods of soil analysis used in the Soil Testing Laboratory at Oregon State University [1989]

Creator:: Horneck, Donald Arthur, Hart, John M. (John Mervyn), 1947-, Topper, K., Koepsell, B., and Oregon State University. Agricultural Experiment Station
Abstract:: This manual describes and documents procedures used in the Oregon State University Soil Testing Laboratory (OSUSTL), and to supply information on the appropriate documentation of these methods. Of the numerous methods for soil analysis, research at Oregon State University indicates that the procedures outlined in this publication are suitable for...
