  • Incorporating uncertainty into diagnostic analysis of mechanical systems

    Creator:
    Mocko, Gregory M.
    Abstract:
    Analyzing systems during the conceptual stages of design for characteristics essential to the ease of fault diagnosis is important in today's mechanical systems because consumers and manufacturers are becoming increasingly concerned with cost incurred over the life cycle of the system. The increase in complexity of modem mechanical systems can...

  • Computer and heating and air conditioning

    Creator:
    Hafez, Ghassan M. Ihsan
    Abstract:
    The repetitious nature of air conditioning calculation leads to arithmetic errors and a high cost of designing air conditioning systems. Short cut calculations are employed to limit the calculation and the chance of making errors. Computers with their high speed of calculation and the ability to make limited "logic's decisions...

  • Wind tunnel simulation and field measurements of flow over a coastal headland

    Creator:
    Brownlow, Roger West
    Abstract:
    An experimental study was made of the average and turbulent wind characteristics of the flow over a model of a coastal headland. The scale of the model was 300:1, corresponding to a prototype size of 500 m. The data for validation of the model study was obtained from instruments mounted...

  • Investigation of Seasonal Performance of a Membrane Heat Pump System in Different Climate Regions

    Creator:
    Bukshaisha, Ahmad A.
    Abstract:
    Membrane based heat pumps systems have attracted the attention of many research groups as a potentially more environmentally friendly alternative to vapor compression systems that are being used for space cooling in 90\% of the buildings in the United States. Several prototypes systems have been developed, with reported claims of...

  • Feasibility study of a surface vehicle utilizing a unitary control system

    Creator:
    Bassett, David Arthur
    Abstract:
    A feasibility and practicality study was made of an automotive-type surface vehicle that employed a centralized or unitized means of control. The control functions consisted of: steering, acceleration, deceleration, clutch actuation, gear changes, turn signal operation and horn actuation. These controls were arranged in such a manner that the driver...

  • Implementation and evaluation of a participating media radiation model in the TEMPEST thermal-hydraulic computer code

    Creator:
    Rector, David R.
    Abstract:
    In this work, a method for solving the differential form of the radiative transfer equation was implemented into an existing three-dimensional thermal-hydraulic computer program known as TEMPEST. The method used was the P-l approximation, where the angular distribution of the radiation intensity is represented by a truncated series of spherical...

  • The effect of entrance configuration on local heat transfer coefficients in subsonic diffusers

    Creator:
    Stoffel, Edward Oswald
    Abstract:
    The effects of round, square, and reentrant entrances on flow regimes and local heat transfer coefficients were determined using a symmetrical, plane-wall two-dimensional, subsonic air diffuser with one of the diverging walls heated and maintained isothermal. Flow and heat transfer studies were made at total divergence angles ranging from 0...

  • Partial recirculation of diesel engine exhaust for the reduction of oxides of nitrogen

    Creator:
    Addicott, Donald James
    Abstract:
    Oxides of nitrogen are a concern as effluents to atmospheres because they participate in photochemical reactions which produce smog, because they attenuate sunlight which gives the atmosphere a reddish brown cast, and because of their toxic properties and the health hazards associated with the photochemical products they produce. Oxides of...

  • Computer assisted design of planar workholders

    Creator:
    Chancharoen, Ratchatin
    Abstract:
    There are many situations in which contact between two bodies is at a single point so there can be no tensile (force). This form of contact only provides a single degree of restraint, and is defined as a unidirectional point contact. The analysis of Reuleaux shows that four suitably placed...
