  • Mechanics of Nb-Ti superconducting composites

    Creator:
    Guo, Zhiqiang
    Abstract:
    Mechanical behavior of Nb-Ti superconducting composites with copper matrices have been studied experimentally and theoretically. Experimental work includes extensive measurements of Cu/Nb-Ti composite system. Techniques for fine fiber testing and composite wire measurement have been developed. Experimental parameters examined in this research include geometry, hardness, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, yield...

  • A numerical analysis of ice fog produced by automobiles

    Creator:
    Nelson, William George
    Abstract:
    A model of an exhaust plume was developed and programmed on a digital computer. The purpose of the model was to predict the concentration and size distribution of ice particles produced from automobile exhaust during arctic conditions. The model accounted for the nucleation, growth, and freezing of the condensed water...

  • Combustion mechanisms in wood fired boilers

    Creator:
    Tuttle, Kenneth Lewis
    Abstract:
    A program of research has been established at Oregon State University to study wood residue combustion using an experimental spreader-stoker combustor. This research was conducted to increase the understanding of combustion occurring in wood fired boilers. Using Douglas Fir screened to 3/8-3/4 inches, two 4x4 factorial experiments were conducted varying...
