Characteristics of a four-nozzle, slotted short mixing stack with shroud, gas eductor system
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1982-03)
Cold flow tests were conducted on a four nozzle (nozzles tilted at a 15 degree angle) gas educator system to evaluate the system's performance utilizing a short slotted missing stack and two shrouds with diffuser rings. ...
A methodology for design of passive isolation for ship/barge connection
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1999-09-01)
Current ramp designs used in RORO operations have been determined to be structurally inadequate in Sea-State 3. The main reason for this is that when the ramp is loaded with two vehicles, the relative motions between the ...
Type 1 hot corrosion furnace testing and evaluation.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1982-10)
Furnace testing of superalloys and coating systems was
conducted to determine if type 1 hot corrosion seen in operating
gas turbine engines and burner rigs could be more
simply reproduced. Furnace parameters were varied ...
A version of the graphics-oriented interactive finite element time-sharing system (GIFTS) for an IBM with CP/CMS.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1982-03)
A version of the Graphics-oriented, Interactive, Finite
element, Time-sharing System (GIFTS) has been developed for,
and installed on, an IBM computer with the Conversational
Monitor System (CMS). GIFTS, developed at, ...
FSR based force torque transducer design
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1993-06)
This thesis report discusses the design, construction and calibration of two force-torque transducers for use in a force control override of a rate control system. Pre-loaded force sensing resistors were used in a computer ...
An experimental study of nucleate pool boiling heat transfer from a Gewa-T finned surface in Freon-113
(1982-12)
A variety of experimental tests were made with a Gewa-T finned surface in Freon-113 to assist in understanding the physical mechanisms which occur during nucleate pool boiling from this type of surface.
The influence of ...
Propagation of fire generated smoke in shipboard spaces with heat source
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2000-09)
The propagation of fire generated smoke and heat transfer into a shipboard space has been computationally modeled using a commercial code generated by Computational Fluid Dynamics Research Corporation (CFDRC). The space ...
The measurement of thin oil films under dynamic loading conditions using light and x-ray techniques
(Monterey, California. U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1967-06)
A study was made of the behavior of thin oil films under dynamic loading conditions using light and x-ray techniques. This was done by passing light and x-ray beams between two cylindrical disks which suddenly squeezed oil ...
Nucleate pool boiling of nitrogen from artificial cavities
(Monterey, California. U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1967-09)
Pool boiling heat transfer of nitrogen from artifical cavities was investigated. Boiling was from circular, one inch diameter horizontal mirror finished copper plates. The single artifical cavity surfaces investigate were: ...
Improved computer modeling of ship progressive flooding as a design tool
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1998-09-01)
When a ship suffers underwater damage, there is a rapid influx of water, followed by a period of slower progressive flooding. This results in flooding of compartments whose hull boundaries, but not interior bulkheads, are ...
