Impulsively-started flow about submarine shaped bodies.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1981-03)
Impulsively-started flow about a D-shaped body, a T-shaped
body, and a flat plate has been investigated. The forces and
moments acting on the bodies have been determined, as a function
of the relative displacement of ...
An analytic model of gas turbine engine installations.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1984-09)
An interactive computer simulation of marine gas turbine installations including intake and exhaust ducting for the engine and module cooling has been developed. A one-dimensional analysis was used in determining the ...
Design and construction of a computer controlled microthermcouple probe for the study of buoyant jets.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1984-09)
A computer-aided data acquisition system was developed
and a microthermocouple probe constructed to obtain thermal
distributions in turbulent buoyant jets exposed to a cross-flowing
ambient fluid. The system performed ...
A general simulation program for robot manipulator arm dynamics.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1984-09)
A computer program is presented which implements a recursive
Lagrange formulation of open-loop kinematic chain equations of motion
for the purpose of providing an generalized dynamic model of robot
manipulator arms. The ...
Evaluation of the effects of roll angle on the natural convection heat transfer from an array of cylindrical spines
(1984-12)
Experimental data has been obtained that predicts the effect of roll angle upon the natural convection heat transfer from an array of cylindrical spines or pin fins. A correlation is presented that permits evaluation of ...
The effectiveness of heat exchangers with one shell pass and five tube passes.
(1985-09)
Heat exchangers with one shell pass and n tube passes
are often referred to as 1-n exchangers. The heat transfer
literature contains many references to studies of 1-n
exchangers when n is even but apparently, other than ...
The effect of circumferential tube wall heat conduction upon laminar filmwise condensation on the outside of condenser tubes.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1980-12)
This thesis describes the results of a theoretical study
to predict the thermal behavior of an internally-cooled tube
in a condensing vapor.
The analysis constitutes a unique application of the
finite element method ...
An experimental study of the response of small tunnel thrusters to triangular and square wave inputs
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1992-12)
The response of small tunnel thrusters to triangular and square wave changes in applied voltages to the thruster motor is studied. Previous mathematical models have attempted to identify the dynamic characteristics in ...
Indium replica for metallurgical examination
(Annapolis, Maryland: Naval Postgraduate School, 1949)
The work herein described was accomplished in the Solid States Section of the Physics Division at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory during June, July and August of 1948. The purpose of this work was to discover a feasible ...
The influence of thermomechanical processing on the elevated temperature mechanical behavior of 6061 aluminum - alumina metal matrix composite materials
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 1990-12)
A cast, aluminum-based discontinuous metal matrix composite was thermomechanically processed. The material studied was 6061 aluminum containing 10 vol. pct. or 15 vol. pct. alumina (Al2O3) particles, fabricated by casting ...
