A Numerical and Experimental Study on the Flow and Heat Transfer Characteristics in Co-Rotating Disk Systems.
(1983)
The flow between parallel disks has its unique features because of the radius effect. When the disks are set into motion, the angular momentum transport from the rotating disks to the fluid makes the flow complicated through ...
Multiply-charged ion emission from a cyclotron-resonance-heated plasma ion source.
(1989)
Electron cyclotron resonance heated ion sources have become the prominent electron-stripping device used to produce multiply-charged ions. These ions are required for many applications ranging from atomic physics research ...
Transport of Water Soluble Solutes Between the Peritoneal Cavity and the Plasma in the Rat.
(1981)
Using the Sprague-Dawley female rat, a systems-level research proram was carried out to investigate and quantify the mechanisms involved in the transport of water soluble solutes between the peritoneal cavity and plasma. ...
Mathematical Modeling of Sorption Phenomena in Heterogeneous Systems. (Volumes I and II) (Adsorption, Mathematical Modeling).
(1984)
There is mounting evidence of the ubiquitous presence of potentially toxic organic chemicals in surface waters and groundwaters. Conventional water and wastewater treatment processes are often ineffective at removing these ...
Road Tanker Design: Its Influence on the Risk and Economic Aspects of Transporting Gasoline in Michigan.
(1982)
The objective of this dissertation is to evaluate the influence of vehicle design on both the hazards and costs of transporting gasoline within the State of Michigan. In keeping with this objective, the study addresses ...
Investigations into Flexible Operational Paradigms to Mitigate Variability.
(2009)
The work of this dissertation is concerned with the study of the effectiveness of
paradigms of production flexibility to either improve system performance or mitigate
system risk. A brief introduction to the concept of ...
Surface Scaling Mechanism and Prediction for Concrete.
(2010)
Severe deterioration of concrete joints has developed at a rapid rate for several Michigan highway projects. This deterioration was found to be linked to deicer salt applications during the winter season. Surface scaling ...
Vibration Isolation and Shock Protection for MEMS.
(2009)
Forces arising from environmental sources have profound influence on the functioning of microelectromechanical (MEMS) devices. Two examples include mechanical vibration and shock, which can significantly degrade the ...
Supercritical Water Gasification of Biomass.
(2009)
We performed Supercritical Water Gasification (SCWG) for cellulose and lignin for the first time in the absence of catalytic effects from metallic walls, by using quartz reactors. We quantified the catalytic effect of ...
Adaptive management schemes for mobile ad hoc networks
(2009)
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are wireless communication networks which are of interest because of their flexibility and ease of deployment. MANET nodes are often powered by batteries, and their replacement is usually ...
