The development of an instrument to control the oxygen concentration and flow rate of an air-oxygen mixture
(Virginia Tech, 1977-10-05)
<p>The equipment as designed and constructed is a workable
solution to the problem of mixing air and oxygen at selectable
oxygen concentrations and flow rates. Control of the flow of the
individual gases is adequate ...
A radio-tracer study of the effect of surface finish on the transfer of polychlorotrifluoroethylene sliding on mild steel
(Virginia Tech, 1974-08-05)
The effect of surface finish on the transfer of polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE) to mild steel was studied using a radio-tracer technique.
A pin-on-disk apparatus was used in conjunction with neutron activation of ...
A study of rolling adhesion in braking
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1978)
The effect of normal load, contact velocity, and dwell time on the coefficient of adhesion at slip in braking was investigated. A test rig that simulated locomotive wheel/rail interactions was used for the experimentation. ...
Intermolecular potential combining rules utilizing corresponding states correlations for pure substances having nonspherical molecules
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1971)
Second virial coefficient data for many pure substances with both spherical and nonspherical molecules are used to determine the characteristic parameters of two different three-parameter potential functions. Parameters ...
Determination of pinion cutter offsets required to produce nonstandard spur gears with equal strength teeth
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1978)
Microcomputer control of a pneumatic blood pump
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1978)
A microcomputer based system is described that controls the operation of a dual chamber, diaphragm-type pneumatic blood pump in both open-loop and closed-loop modes. The open-loop mode of operation allows selection of ...
An experimental method for the investigation of subsonic stall flutter in gas turbine engine fans and compressors
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1978)
A facility for the investigation of stall flutter in aircraft engine compressors and fans was designed. Stall flutter was achieved in the test fan and verified through sonic and photographic methods. The frequency components ...
Design of a wind-powered cooling system for an apple storage facility
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1977)
A study was undertaken to determine the problems involved in applying wind-produced electric energy toward the needs of an apple storage facility, and to design an appropriate energy system. Fruit requirements, wind generator ...
Pressure and velocity fields in a relaxing three-dimensional turbulent boundary layer
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1979)
Static pressure and mean velocity data were obtained in a relaxing shear driven three-dimensional incompressible turbulent boundary layer flow produced by a swept rectangular step. The nominally 10 cm (4 in.) thick boundary ...
