A consistent analysis of Boussinesq-type water wave equations in continuous and discrete form
(1983)
Previous derivations of the continuum Boussinesq-type equations are investigated and compared through a nondimensional order-of-approximation to establish a unique equation set. The resulting continuum equation set is ...
Construction of a model which investigates the impact of selected variables on international tourist flows to Turkey
(1983)
The study developed a model which explained the impact of selected variables on international tourism flows to Turkey. This study differed from earlier investigations in that it focused directly upon international tourism ...
An analysis of crossflow indirect evaporative air conditioner
(1983)
With growing realization of the limitations of available energy resources, systems requiring low energy are of considerable interest at the present time. Experimental and field test results show that indirect evaporative ...
Analysis procedures for determining sawmill efficiencies
(1983)
SAMTAM--Sawmill Analysis Model from Texas A&M was developed in three versions: (1) in Fortran for a mainframe computer, (2) in Applesoft for the Apple II, and (3) for the TI-59 calculator. SAMTAM is better than other models ...
A combined serviceability and distress pavement performance model for estimating remaining service life of flexible pavements
(1983)
A procedure is developed to estimate the remaining service life of flexible pavements based upon predicted ride and distress conditions. These conditions are forecast using equations that involve measurable values of ...
A PDE formulation and numerical solution for a boll weevil-cotton crop model with soil water and light penetration
(1983)
A mathematical model that describes the population dynamics of a cotton crop and the boll weevil is discussed. A system of partial differential equations forms the model's core. A finite-difference solution procedure is ...
Consumer expenditures and economic inequality : an econometric analysis
(1983)
The present dissertation describes an economic model designed to predict changes in the inequality in consumer expenditures, associated with trends in economic development. Special emphasis is given to expenditures since ...
Upper ball joint force variations due to riser tensioner and vessel motions
(1983)
An analysis of the variation of forces acting on the upper ball joint of a riser string due to drill ship motion and riser tensioner dynamics has been conducted. The analysis includes the effect of breakaway torque on the ...
Physical-stochastic modeling of power system loads : modeling and system identification of residential air conditioning system
(1983)
This research deals with physically-based modeling of power system loads. Residential air conditioner system has been chosen to demonstrate the modeling technique. The dynamic behaviour of the air conditioning system is ...
