Some problems in the axially symmetrical bending of a thick circular plate resting on an elastic foundation
(Virginia Tech, 1955-08-05)
From the results of the cases discussed, it can be concluded that the neglect of transverse-shear deformation and normal stress results in expressions for bending moments and deflection which may be seriously in error. /
The design and test of a high speed engine indicator
(Virginia Tech, 1955-05-15)
<p>The indicator provided accurate data for that portion of the engine cycle where the operation of the indicator was not affected by extraneous electrical interference.</p>
The effect of chromium plating on the endurance limit of 4340 steel
(Virginia Tech, 1952-06-05)
The percentage of reduction in fatigue limit of AISI 4340 steel due to one chromium plating was 21 percent, based on the fatigue limit of unplated AISI 4340 steel.
The complete construction and performance tests of a five-ton A.R.A. anti spray floating film cooling tower
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1952)
The determination of heat-transfer coefficients from finned cylinders in an air stream at varying fin-plane/air-stream angles, fin spacing, and air velocities
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1955)
Since the turn of the twentieth century, many investigations have been made in the field of heat-transfer from finned cylinders in an air-stream with the fin-plane parallel to the air-stream. Most of these investigations ...
The design of refrigeration equipment for low temperature testing rooms
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1954)
During World War II, with the armed forces waging war on several fronts and with the development of high altitude aircraft, the necessity for a great deal of low temperature testing was brought about. The production testing ...
An experimental investigation of heat transfer through insulation uniformly applied to a flat end cylinder
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1951)
The determination of the heat transfer through a flat wall of which one surface is isothermal at a temperature of t<sub>a</sub> and the other surface is isothermal at a temperature t<sub>b</sub> is the simple problem of ...
A study of the high speed diesel engine exhaust with respect to gas composition and smoke density
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1951)
A study of exhaust gas composition at various engine speeds, loads, and cooling water temperatures was made on an International Harvester UD-6 Diesel Engine. Simultaneously, smoke density was measured with a smokemeter, ...
The design of a residential water-to-water heat pump
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1956)
The residential heat pump is becoming more and more important as a means of heating and cooling homes. The American family is booming increasingly aware of year—round air conditioning in all its various aspects, not only ...
