A computer model was created using compressor and
condenser performance data to simulate vapor-compression
ammonia refrigeration system performance under various
operating conditions and strategies. The model was used to
estimate energy, demand, and cost savings resulting from
reduced condensing pressures.
Two ammonia refrigeration systems were selected for the
investigation into...
Parallel programming is the major stumbling block preventing the parallel processing industry from quickly satisfying the demand for parallel computer software. This research is aimed at solving some of the problems of software development for parallel computers. ELGDF is a graphical language for designing parallel programs. The goal of ELGDF...
Improving vegetation management decisions in Pacific Northwest forests requires a better understanding of the interactions between
planted conifers and associated vegetation. A practical index of interspecific competition, and quantitative models predicting conifer performance from such an index are particularly needed. To meet this
need, neighborhood models of interspecific competition were...
