Analytical treatment of gravity effects on gas loaded variable conductance heat pipes.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1980-12)
The formulation of a one-dimensional analytical model
representing steady state operation of a vertically oriented
gas loaded variable conductance heat pipe is presented. The
model includes not only the effects of binary ...
Liquid sodium as a heat transfer medium at high temperatures
(Annapolis, Maryland; U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1949)
Stresses in pipe ells under internal pressure
(Monterey, California: U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1953)
This paper is the result of investigating stresses in five samples of steel pipe bends -which were furnished the United States Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California, as a result of an offer by Dr. John E, Brock, ...
Investigation of gravitational effects on a variable conductance heat pipe utilizing liquid crystal thermography
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1975-12)
Observations were made of the operation of a gas loaded,
variable conductance heat pipe two inches in diameter and sixty
inches long. The heat pipe was operated in the horizontal and
vertical positions while input power ...
Novel Paradigm Supercapacitors V: Significance of organic polar solvents and salt identities
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2017-06)
This thesis is part of an ongoing program exploring the means to improve the performance, particularly energy and power density, of super dielectric materials (SDM)--based Novel Paradigm (NP) Supercapacitors. The underlying ...
An experimental evaluation of the thermal performance of a rotating heat pipe with internal axial fins
(1983-06)
A rotating heat pipe was tested using two different copper condensers (a smooth cylinder and a cylinder with 22 straight axial fins) and water as the working fluid. The smooth condenser was tested at rotational speed of ...
The heat transfer coefficient of a magnetic fluid
(Annapolis, Maryland: Naval Postgraduate School, 1949)
Effect of two stress raisers acting together at a point
(Monterey, California: U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1960)
Stress concentration factors are valuable tools for the machine designer when they can be accepted as reliable. When one stress concentration configuration, such as a hole, fillet, notch, machine finish, etc. exists there ...
Model based design and verification of a rapid dive controller for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1989-03); NPS 69-89-04
Autonomous Undervvater Vehicles are being considered
today by many organizations as a lovv cost substitute for
manned vehicles. Requirements forautonomy emphasize
the need for a robust system controller that can ...
Control strategy: wind energy powered variable chiller with thermal ice storage
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2014-12)
This study commissioned a variable speed chiller system powered by renewable energy with ice thermal storage. A control strategy was also developed that matched the chiller load to any available renewable power. These ...
