A simulation study of a heuristic technique for approximating availability percentiles for cascaded independent systems

Creator:: Squire, David Charles
Abstract:: This thesis presents work done to verify the accuracy of a heuristic method for computing availability percentiles for cascaded independent systems. Previous work has provided a model for a single line that will be used as the basis for a simulation of cascaded and parallel systems of lines. The simulation...

Cooling System Analysis of the Thrust Chamber

Creator:: Sazonov, Gleb
Abstract:: The purpose of the study was to analyze the possible combination of cooling systems, which are film cooling and regenerative cooling, and obtain the initial estimates of possible temperature reduction. The analysis was conducted in Ansys Fluent. The methodology includes four main steps that are the following: flow simulation, combustion...

Lift Enhancement of Pliant Wings Through Bio-Mimicry

Creator:: Osterberg, Nathaniel Brent
Abstract:: Flexible aerodynamic surfaces have been shown to favorably influence flight characteristics at low Reynolds numbers by increasing lift, angle of attack at stall, and resistance to perturbation. The objective of the research presented within this thesis is to investigate the influence of two aspects of flight observed in biological flyers,...

A study of the stylistic ramifications of Father Charles Edward Coughlin's sermons from 1930 to 1934

Creator:: Acklin, Melissa Barrett
Abstract:: During the depression era, millions of Americans listened to the weekly radio addresses given by Father Charles Edward Coughlin. He devoted his career to speaking out against the evils of America and felt it his duty to warn Americans against the perpetrators of this evil. But after 1934, the tone...

An evaluation of the use of tarif tables in second growth Douglas-fir

Creator:: Marshall, David D.
Abstract:: The Washington State Department of Natural Resources' Comprehensive Tree-Volume Tarif Tables are a set of preconstructed local volume tables. This can increase "on plot" efficiency since only diameters are necessary to obtain volumes after the proper table for the given diameter/height relationship is accessed. The tables are accessed and indexed...

Our Moral Educators : Educational Debate and Representations of Teachers in the Mid-Century Victorian Novel

Creator:: Taylor, Corey
Abstract:: In this thesis, I read the teachers in four mid-century Victorian novels--Charles Dickens' David Copperfield (1850) and Hard Times (1854), Thomas Hughes' Tom Brown’s Schooldays (1857) and Charlotte Brontё's Villette (1853)-- within the context of mid-century English educational debate in an effort to explicate the ways in which these characters...

Turbulent Combustion Analysis of Large Hydrocarbon Fuels in a Reduced Pressure Environment

Creator:: Schorn, Nathan E.
Abstract:: The aviation industry is pushing for better fuels and gas turbine engines for several reasons: cost, emissions, and to a lesser extent high-altitude relights. One aspect that research has been focused on to help reduce costs, emissions and better understand high-altitude relights is studying the combustion behavior of the fuel...

Temperature Evolution of Spark Kernels in Quiescent and Cross-flow Conditions

Creator:: Okhovat, Sebastian
Abstract:: Numerous physical and chemical processes are required for successful ignition of a flammable mixture, many of which have been well characterized. However, one aspect of the ignition process that has received limited consideration is understanding the temperature of the spark kernel. A spark kernel is the volume of heated gas...

Breeding habitat of harlequin ducks in Prince William Sound, Alaska

Creator:: Crowley, David W.
Abstract:: Breeding habitat of Harlequin ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus) was studied in eastern Prince William Sound, Alaska, during 1991 - 1993. Streams in Prince William Sound were surveyed for Harlequin ducks and monitored with mist nets. Physical characteristics of 24 Harlequin breeding streams were compared to those of 24 streams not used...
