  • Transient fuel pin temperature calculations using describing functions

    Creator:
    Guidotti, Timothy E.
    Abstract:
    An important element in rector safety and fuel performance assessments is the efficient calculation of the time dependent temperature profiles within reactor fuel pins. Because the fuel pins have temperature dependent thermal properties, the governing partial differential equations are nonlinear. Traditionally, finite difference or finite element methods have been used...

  • Growth and development of three meadowfoam (Limnanthes spp.) lines

    Creator:
    Fiez, Timothy E.
    Abstract:
    Meadowfoam (Limnanthes R. Br. spp.), a source of C₂₀ and C₂₂ fatty acids, is a new industrial oilseed crop adapted to the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Increased oil yield per land area may increase the rate of meadowfoam commercialization. Using two half-sib L. floccosa x L. alba lines, 85-765 and...

  • Seasonal snowcover dynamics beneath boreal forest canopies

    Creator:
    Link, Timothy E.
    Abstract:
    The accurate simulation of snowpack deposition and ablation beneath forested areas is confounded by the fact that the vegetation canopy strongly affects the snow surface energy balance. The canopy alters the radiation balance of the snowcover, and reduces the wind speed at the snow surface. Data collected as part of...
