Analysis of dual-phase ejector performance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] An analytical model is proposed to extend the single-phase model for predicting ejector performance, particularly pressure recovery and efficiency, ... -
Flat-plate oscillating heat pipes and thermal spreading analysis of heat spreaders
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Electronic components have and will continue to miniaturize. Therefore, the need for efficient thermal management devices will continue to be a driving ... -
Hydro-mechanical analysis of low enriched uranium fuel plates for University of Missouri Research Reactor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)As part of the Global Threat Reduction Initiative (GTRI) Reactor Conversion program, work is underway to analyze and validate a new fuel assembly for the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR). The Low Enriched ... -
A method of frequency domain error modeling to predict the probability of stability and performance of dynamic systems with parametric uncertainty
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] In this work a method is developed for modeling frequency domain error in dynamic systems with parametric uncertainty. Within any mass-manufactured ... -
Microfabrication and modeling of a tool for thermodynamic characterization of micro-samples
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)Cryopreservation is the process of preserving biological samples indefinitely at subzero temperatures. Successful cooling procedures have been developed for a limited number of cell types through an extensive amount of ... -
Physical implications of characteristic speeds and waveforms of rails on elastic foundations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)When a moving load is applied on an elastic rail with an elastic insulator, wave propagation can occur and become problematic after certain characteristic speeds are reached. Research of these waveforms and characteristic ... -
Simulation of fuel system with features for controlling air bubble generated for aircraft application
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In this spill tube project an analytical model of the distribution of pressure of the air trapped in the siphoning tube system, where fuel transfer ... -
The study and development of calcium phosphate bone cement and hydroxy apatite nanofibers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)In order to have better understanding of the influence of the raw materials of calcium phosphate cements (CPCs), including both powder and liquid, on the properties of the of CPCs and eventually develop a way to better ...
