Evaluation of Materials for Use in Open-Cycle Magnetohydrodynamic Power Generation

Creator:: Bowen, Michael S.
Abstract:: Recent interest in oxy-fuel combustion for carbon capture, as well as advancements in technologies such as magnetics, materials, and computational modeling has sparked renewed interest in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power generation. The increased temperatures of oxy-fuel combustion versus air-fuel combustion poses a challenge in the selection of materials for plasma exposed...

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...

A portable pumping system for hydraulic excavation of commercial crab pots

Creator:: Chang, Terrill John
Abstract:: The design and testing of a portable pumping system for use in the hydraulic excavation of commercial crab pots buried by ocean sediment was undertaken. The resulting portable system retained the four major components of the pumping systems presently used by commercial fishermen: engine, pump, fire hose, and nozzle. Because...

Computer-assisted inventory control model for automobile spare parts distribution

Creator:: Stephanides, Photis Gregory
Abstract:: A model was developed for the inventory control of the Volkswagen spare parts distribution in Greece. The model utilizes the capabilities of a digital computer, and features four systems, the necessary system files and various routines. Flexible statistical forecasting techniques are included for forecasting the distributor parts demand. Computerized procedures...

Analysis and design of a small gas sampling pump

Creator:: Tuttle, Kenneth Lewis
Abstract:: In an attempt to satisfy an existing need for a small gas sample pump, a proposed design was analyzed and determined to be feasible and a design for a prototype model was produced. The design is of a chemically inert, leak-proof, unlubricated, sliding-vane- type pump. It is designed to pump...

A model for the mechanical behavior of irradiated mixed carbide sphere pac fuel pins

Creator:: George, Thomas L.
Abstract:: A model is developed that allows the prediction of the stress-strain distribution in a mixed carbide sphere pac fuel pin during irradiation. The model is coupled with a previously developed model for the thermal behavior of the pin. The one-dimensional (radial at various axial locations) solution is for quasi-steady pin...

Quantification of total and plastic 3D strain fields within micro-damaged polyurethane foam

Creator:: Sutton, Matthew T.
Abstract:: Local material damage that occurs within cellular solids, such as polymer foams and trabecular bone, and precedes local fractures of the cell struts or walls is called micro-damage. The accumulation of micro-damage within cellular solids is often undesirable, although it is thought to be vital to the development and health...
