Computer program for the kinetics and populations in a xenon fluoride laser
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1979-12)
To highlight in a qualitative manner the kinetics of an excimer laser, a simple computer model for calculating the species populations in a KrF laser cavity is developed; subsequently a computer program originally developed ...
Jet penetration and interaction at a sonic throat.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1972-03)
This thesis describes the results of an investigation of the throttling effects of a transverse jet when injected into a sonic throat. The process, commonly referred to as aerodynamic throttling, was studied both analytically ...
Improvement of an oil-water pollution monitoring system
(Monterey, California; Naval Postgraduate School, 1976-06)
A prototype of an automatic oil monitoring system was improved and used as a tool of research. The system utilizes a direct difference method of total organic carbon determination. The improvements permit a rapid evaluation ...
An investigation of the mechanical properties of warm rolled aluminum-17.5 weight percent copper alloy
(1976)
An aluminum-17 . 5 weight percent copper alloy was warm rolled
to achieve refinement of the microstructure . This refined
microstructure consisted of finely dispersed intermetallic Al^Cu
particles with an average size ...
Finite element solution of a three-dimensional nonlinear reactor dynamics problem with feedback
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1976-12)
This work examines the three-dimensional dynamic response
of a nonlinear fast reactor with temperature-dependent feedback
and delayed neutrons when subjected to uniform and local
disturbances. The finite element method ...
Forces on a horizontal cylinder due to nonlinear waves
(1972-12)
A horizontal cylinder, located near the floor of a two dimensional wave channel was subjected to a train of non-linear gravity waves. The horizontal and vertical forces were measured and presented in dimensionless form. ...
Forces on cylinders oscillating in water
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1972-12)
A circular cylinder immersed in an infinite fluid and oscillated perpendicular to its axis is acted upon by a fluid dynamic force. This force is generally considered to be composed of two components, a drag and an added ...
Transverse forces on rough cylinders in harmonic flow
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1977-03)
The transverse forces acting on smooth and sand-roughened circular cylinders immersed in an harmonically oscillating flow have been measured using a recently constructed U-shaped water tunnel.
The lift coefficients were ...
Experimental investigation of ground effects on a heated cylinder in crossflow.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1974-12)
The fluid flow and forced convective heat transfer characteristics of
a uniformly heated right circular cylinder resting on a flat plate in a
crossflow of air were experimentally investigated.
The circumferential variation ...
Transmission electron microscopy study of subgrain strengthening of cartridge brass.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1976-12)
The development of substructure in cartridge brass, subjected to cold rolling followed by warm annealing, is characterized as a function of annealing temperature and true strain. Substructure develops and becomes refined ...
