  • 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...

  • Development of Human Body Flight

    Creator:
    Kelsay, Connor Bryce
    Abstract:
    Human body flight is a relatively young sport with a largely undocumented history. Human body flight is an umbrella term for any sport involving maneuvering one’s body in a meaningful way through a column of relative wind. Human body flight includes skydiving, which was the origin of human body flight,...

  • 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...

  • Parker, David Bill.pdf

    Creator:
    Parker, David Bill
    Abstract:
    Data from the southern Cascade Mountains of Oregon has been collected for application in computer analysis of snowfields. Vegetation type, canopy cover, slope, aspect, insolation, and snowfield ground truth delineation are given consideration. In addition, a procedure for transferral of data onto Landsat imagery was derived.

  • Charles Babbage, philosopher, reformer, inventor : a history of his contributions to science

    Creator:
    Bell, Walter Lyle
    Abstract:
    This history concerns the scientific contributions of Charles Babbage (1791-1871) to mathematics, to the invention of calculating machines, and machine tools, to the development of scientific ideas through a wide variety of scientific investigations and his involvement in several different scientific reforms. Babbage considered himself a philosopher in the broadest...

  • 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,...

  • Invest in Fish South West: Exploring Partnership in a Multi-Stakeholder Fisheries Project in the UK

    Creator:
    Squires, Heather
    Abstract:
    The increasing move to citizen participation in policy formulation is being witnessed in European fisheries. The emergence of the Regional Advisory Councils (RACs) and other processes via the reformed Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) is sparking hope and interest in more regionally relevant, holistic, and hopefully workable fisheries management measures. In...

  • An historical review of Kolb's formulation of experiential learning theory

    Creator:
    Hickcox, Leslie K. (Leslie Kay), 1951-
    Abstract:
    The central purposes of this study were to review the historical sources of David Kolb's formulation of experiential learning theory, and to determine the effect and application of Kolb's theory and Learning Style Inventory as reflected in the literature between 1971 and 1990. It was found that Kolb based his...

  • Effects of thermal stressing on the turbulent flame speed of jet fuel

    Creator:
    Alkhalifa, Ammar M.
    Abstract:
    Gas turbine engines for propulsion applications can use fuel as a coolant, exposing the fuel to high temperatures well within the ranges associated with thermal decomposition. Species produced as a result of these processes have been shown to correlate with changes in the combustion performance of the fuels. In this...

  • Radiation Emissions from Turbulent Premixed Jet-A/Air Flames Diluted with Combustion Products

    Creator:
    Hoter, Zohar R.
    Abstract:
    Heat flux measurements of radiation emissions from turbulent premixed flames diluted with N 2 and CO 2 were taken to identify sensitivities of radiation heat loss to diluent fraction and species. This work is motivated by the desire to better characterise radiant heat transfer in the presence of combustion products,...
