Analysis of heat transfer in subcooled metal powder subjected to pulsed laser heating
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)The interaction of metal powder and pulsed laser heat flux is investigated on two levels, the powder bed level and the particle level. The locations of the thermal penetration depth and the liquid-solid interface are ... -
Blackbody temperature calculations from visible and newa-IR spectra for gas-fired furnaces
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)The goal of this research work is to develop a system capable of measuring multiple factors of interest in the operation of gas-fired furnaces. The primary focus is the development of a model for calculating wall or flame ... -
Exploratory development of VARIM process for manufacturing high temperature polymer matrix composites
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)This research focuses on an exploratory development of vacuum assisted resin infusion molding (VARIM) process for manufacturing high temperature polymer composite materials. High temperature matrix composites are needed ... -
Mechanical and thermal buckling of thin films
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)Devices with feature size on the order of one micrometer have found widespread applications in science and engineering. MEMS, is a rapidly growing technology for the fabrication of miniature devices which provides a way ...
