A reflected kinetics model for nuclear space reactor kinetics and control scoping calculations
(1986)
Renewed interest in space nuclear applications over the past several years has motivated the study of a specialized reactor kinetics model. Long term civilian and dedicated military missions warrant the consideration of a ...
A comparison of several creep constitutive theories for the prediction of elastic-plastic-creep response and their application to finite element analysis
(1986)
This dissertation begins with a review of the bases for creep constitutive equations. Next, physical metallurgical concepts are used to examine the creep process in simple and complex stress histories. Since, there are ...
Analysis of a counterflow indirect evaporative cooling and liquid desiccant dehumidification system
(1986)
A solar-fired liquid desiccant cooling and dehumidification system has been proposed, analyzed and simulated on a digital computer. The entire study comprised of three distinct but related stages. The first phase of the ...
Evaluation of the differential energy distribution of systems of non-thermally activated molecules
(1986)
A long standing problem in the field of chemical kinetics has been the evaluation of the differential energy distribution in systems which contain broad energy spectra and are not at thermal equilibrium. In this work, a ...
An empirical field study of statistical and management prediction models and the effects of a budget-based incentive program
(1986)
Previous research has shown that the use of budgets, coupled with significantly valued rewards, to motivate personnel and evaluate performance in managerial accounting settings results in a greater likelihood that managers ...
Routing as a flow control strategy within an integrated circuit/packet-switched communications network
(1986)
The introduction of economical voice digitization techniques and dramatic increases in the speed of electronic switching systems have now made possible the integration of voice and data traffic over the same communications ...
