Creator:: Pattee, Heidi Ann
Abstract:: When trace quantities of an alkali element are added to a flame, its optical and electrical properties change significantly. Addition of alkali seed to both premixed and diffusion flames has been used in the development of two new techniques, one for flame temperature measurement and the other for enhanced mixing....

Creator:: Snell, Douglas C.
Abstract:: A continuous process for the production of ceramic materials has been studied. This method reacted metal and oxidizer in a diffusionally controlled process, demonstrated by reacting a magnesium particle stream and hot water vapor. Many small rich hydrogen/air diffusion flames provide an atmosphere of hot water vapor, hydrogen, and nitrogen...

Creator:: Sripakagorn, Paiboon
Abstract:: A resonantly-coupled α-Stirling (RCAS) cooler was designed and constructed. Tests on air and helium were performed with constant driving displacement over a range of frequencies. The effects of changing driving amplitude and charged pressure were studied. The use of stainless steel bellows in place of pistons eliminated the problem of...

Creator:: Indermuehle, Scott W.
Abstract:: A phase sensitive measurement technique that permits the simultaneous determination of two independent thermal properties of thin dielectric films is presented. Applying the technique results in a film's thermal diffusivity and effusivity, from which the thermal conductivity and specific heat can be calculated. The technique involves measuring a specimen's front...

Creator:: Al-Hazmy, Majed Mualla H.
Abstract:: A computational model for a resonantly coupled alpha free-piston Stirling cooler is presented. The cooler consists of two isothermal working spaces for compression and expansion connected by a regenerator consisting of a stack of narrow parallel channels. The regenerator is assumed to have a linear temperature distribution along its axial...

Creator:: Graff, Joseph Edward
Abstract:: Western redcedar, western hemlock, and Douglas-fir seedlings were transplanted into pots in one of two soils representative of high and low levels of available NO3 (and total N). The soils were collected from sites at Cascade Head (Oregon Coast) and Wind River (Washington Cascades). Whole plant and component relative dry...
