Investigation of gravitational effects on the performance of variable conductance heat pipe.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1973-12)
A variable conductance heat pipe with a length to diameter
ratio of 96 to 1 was designed and constructed. The performance
characteristics of both the conventional and gas loaded
variable conductance modes of operation ...
A three dimensional solution of the transient field problem suing isoparametric finite elements.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1972-12)
An isoparametric finite element formulation solving a
general form of the transient field equation is presented in
this thesis. The formulation is developed for fields in
three-dimensional Euclidean space. A FORTRAN IV ...
Freeze-drying and rehydration.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1973-06)
Experimental results using roast turkey meat were
obtained substantiating the uniformly retreating ice front
model used in freeze-drying.
A one-dimensional model for rehydration was developed,
based on flow in capillary ...
Solar energy design improvement: a methodology for hydronic flat place collector systems
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1979-09)
A methodology for solar energy system design improvement has been developed and coupled with a constrained function optimization code resulting in an automated solar energy system design procedure. The scope of the ...
Non-numerical applications of computer programming in the construction of problem oriented languages.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1979-12)
A discussion of several non-numerical techniques that are useful in FORTRAN programming is presented. The use of these techniques is then illustrated with a problem oriented language called CAL-NPS. This last program is ...
A computer simulation of a naval boiler
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1978-09)
A non-linear computer model of a U.S. Navy D-type boiler was developed using lumped parameters. the program was coded in IBM CSMP-III simulation language. A companion routine was also coded to permit the user to implement ...
Advanced infrared detectors for future missile seekers
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1978-12)
New technology was utilized to design and fabricate a self-filtering infrared detector (SFD) optimized for a specific target signature. The SFD was prepared from vacuum deposited, composition-tuned epitaxial films of the ...
Experimental determination of melting rates of ice moving in seawater
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1979-03)
Large, fresh-water ice blocks (0.5m X 1.25m X 5m) were
towed in Monterey Bay at speeds in range from 0.7 to 1.2 knots,
The objectives of the experiments included measurement of
gross regression rates of ice surfaces, ...
Void fraction in parallel channel boiling water reactors with application to two-phase turbulent mixing
(Cambridge, Massachusetts; Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1970-06)
An experiment using air-water mixtures to model steam-water flow in a reactor was devised to determine the turbulent mixing mass flow rates between two multichannels over a wide range of flow conditions and therefrom predict ...
Stress analysis of ceramic gas turbine blades by the finite element method. Part I.
(1978)
The search for more efficient gas turbine engines
has led to the proposal for the replacement of metal
high temperature components with ceramic components
.
Essential to this effort is the numerical analysis of
proposed ...
