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)
Numerical and experimental analysis of the performance of staggered short pin-fin heat exchangers
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2003-06)
A three dimensional finite element based numerical model was used to analyze the heat transfer characteristics of various staggered short pin-fin array heat exchangers. The simulation was validated against data from an ...
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, ...
Design, test, and evaluation of a transonic axial compressor rotor with splitter blades
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2013-09)
A new design procedure was developed and documented that uses commercial-off-the-shelf software (MATLAB, SolidWorks, and ANSYS-CFX) for the geometric rendering and analysis of a transonic axial compressor rotor with splitter ...
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 ...
Processing, microstructure, and material property relationships following friction stir welding of oxide dispersion strengthened steels
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2013-09)
A comprehensive set of processing, microstructure, and material property relationships is presented for friction stir welded oxide dispersion strengthened MA956 steel. Eight rotational and traverse speed combinations were ...
Acoustic based tactical control of underwater vehicles
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2003-06)
Advances in command and control of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) using acoustic communications are crucial to future Fleet objectives, particularly in Very Shallow Water Mine Countermeasures (VSW MCM). Understanding ...
Grain boundary development in superplastic aluminum alloys
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1996-12)
Superplasticity may be defined as the capability of certain polycrystalline materials to deform to extensive plastic elongations prior to failure, often without formation of a neck. Typically, superplasticity refers to ...
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 ...
