A theoretical study of the heat and momentum transfer resulting
from a flow of power plant condenser effluent discharged vertically to
shallow, quiescent coastal receiving water is presented. The complete
partial differential equations governing steady, incompressible, turbulent
flow driven by both initial momentum and buoyancy are solved
using finite-difference techniques...
For over a hundred years, analysts have been concerned with
the static and dynamic behavior of flexible cables. Hanging,
towing and mooring cables have been extensively examined but little
work has been done in the area of the anchor deployment problem. In
the anchor deployment problem, a mooring line is...
An experimental investigation was conducted to determine
characteristics of natural convection of mercury in a vertical channel,
which was open at both ends. Two cases were investigated separately:
1) both walls uniformly and symmetrically heated, and 2) one wall
heated with the other insulated.
Heat transfer correlations in laminar flow...
The Siletz Estuary was studied in 1973 to determine seasonal
variations in tidal dynamics, water quality, and sediments.
Tidal ranges and times were measured and compared to predicted
values at two positions within the bay. Tidal ranges and times
were analyzed to determine the dampening and phasing conditions
within the...
The erratic behavior of the room temperature yield strength of
high purity commercial tantalum sheet was studied. Critical factors
in the production process were postulated and then investigated to
determine their effects on strength properties. Chemical composition
was found to be the most important factor contributing to the strength;
thermomechanical...
The structure, hardness, and impact strength of high chromium
cast irons was investigated. From the Fe- Cr- C phase diagram,
a composition with 74.8 wt% Fe, 21.5 wt% Cr, and 3.7 wt% was
selected along the austenite-M₇C₃ eutectic trough. This composition
was bracketed by others with slightly different amounts of...
