It is entitled: Investigation of Combustion Instability in a Single Annular Combustor Student's name: Fumitaka Ichihashi This work and its defense approved by: Committee chair: San-Mou Jeng, PhD Committee member: Shanwu Wang, PhD Committee member: Kelly Cohen, PhD Committee member: Asif Syed, PhD 1304 Last Printed:3/4/2011 Document Of Defense Form Investigation of Combustion Instability in a Single Annular Combustor A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics of the College of Engineering Nov 2010 by Fumitaka Ichihashi B.S., Aerospace Engineering, University of Cincinnati, USA Committee Chair: Dr. San-Mou Jeng Abstract The well known criterion for combustion instability is called the Rayleigh‘s criterion. It indicates that, for combustion instability to occur, the heat release rate (q‘) and pressure oscillation (p‘) must be in phase. This thesis describes measurement techniques and study methods for combustion instabilities that occurred in the prototype single annular sector Rich-Burn Quick-Mix Lean-Burn (RQL) combustor on the original (short) and new (long) experimental rig configuration with a focus on q‘ and p‘ measurements. A change in the configuration of the combustor rig was necessary in order to acquire more precise measurements of forward- and backward-moving acoustic pressure waves within the rig by mounting pressure transducers on preselected locations of the upstream duct, downstream duct and combustion area. Pressure transducers provided such local pressure behaviors as amplitude and frequency per location, also in addition to transfer functions that allow for the calculation of the acoustic impedance at any location within the combustor rig. A high-speed camera was capable of filming a chemiluminescene image, i.e., the rate of heat release through a quartz window that is mounted on the side of the combustor. Two imaging analysis techniques, Proper Orthogonal Decomposition and Fourier Transformation, were applied to the chemiluminescene image obtained by a high-speed video device. Two different test cases were investigated. Both a high and low fuel-to-air ratio were used for the investigation of the Rayleigh‘s criterion, which was confirmed by the corresponding q‘ and p‘ data sets. Finally, the resonance frequency that agrees with combustion instability was well predicted by utilizing the one-dimensional wave propagation theory and the known geometry of the combustor rig, temperature of fluid, and boundary conditions. ii iii Acknowledgements I would like to first state my deepest appreciation to my advisor, Dr. San-Mou Jeng, for providing me funding, guidance, and the opportunity to work on the combustion instability rig, and also on other projects and rigs at the University of Cincinnati Center Hill combustion research laboratory. I have learned extremely valuable engineering knowledge through these experiences. I would like to thank Dr. Kelly Cohen for guiding and supporting my thesis. His wisdom and passion have educated me in additional engineering fields of analysis and control systems; he has also coached me on my work ethic so that I could become a better engineer. My great appreciation for him will never be forgotten. Finally, I would like to express my great appreciation to Dr. Asif Syed for supporting my thesis and being a mentor to me for five years while at college. The experiences, knowledge, wisdom, and ethics that I have learned from him has become the core of my engineering work. My deepest appreciation also goes to Dr. Shanwu Wang of GE Aviation, for his time, effort, and advice as a committee member. Additionally, I would like to thank Mr. Curtis Fox for supporting and educating me on engineering measurements and programming throughout college life. Without him, I would not have enjoyed research and obtained the confidence I have now. My thanks also go to Dr. Samir Tambe and University of Cincinnati Aerospace Engineering undergraduate student, Joe Tscherne, for helping me set up and run the combustion instability experimental rig, and I am very thankful to University of Cincinnati Aerospace Engineering undergraduate student, Christine Englert, for enhancing my thesis writing. iv Table of Contents Abstract

  • Collezione Per Genova
    1958-1978: 20 anni di sperimentazioni spaziali in Occidente La collezione copre il ventennio 1958-1978 che è stato particolarmente importante nella storia della esplorazio- ne spaziale, in quanto ha posto le basi delle conoscenze tecnico-scientifiche necessarie per andare nello spa- zio in sicurezza e per imparare ad utilizzare le grandi potenzialità offerte dallo spazio per varie esigenze civili e militari. Nel clima di guerra fredda, lo spazio è stato fin dai primi tempi, utilizzato dagli Americani per tenere sotto con- trollo l’avversario e le sue dotazioni militari, in risposta ad analoghe misure adottate dai Sovietici. Per preparare le missioni umane nello spazio, era indispensabile raccogliere dati e conoscenze sull’alta atmo- sfera e sulle radiazioni che si incontrano nello spazio che circonda la Terra. Dopo la sfida lanciata da Kennedy, gli Americani dovettero anche prepararsi allo sbarco dell’uomo sulla Luna ed intensificarono gli sforzi per conoscere l’ambiente lunare. Fin dai primi anni, le sonde automatiche fecero compiere progressi giganteschi alla conoscenza del sistema solare. Ben presto si imparò ad utilizzare i satelliti per la comunicazione intercontinentale e il supporto alla navigazio- ne, per le previsioni meteorologiche, per l’osservazione della Terra. La Collezione testimonia anche i primi tentativi delle nuove “potenze spaziali” che si avvicinano al nuovo mon- do dei satelliti, che inizialmente erano monopolio delle due Superpotenze URSS e USA. L’Italia, con San Mar- co, diventò il terzo Paese al mondo a lanciare un proprio satellite e allestì a Malindi la prima base equatoriale, che fu largamente utilizzata dalla NASA. Alla fine degli anni ’60 anche l’Europa entrò attivamente nell’arena spaziale, lanciando i propri satelliti scientifici e di telecomunicazione dalla propria base equatoriale di Kourou.

COLOR PERCEPTION Things Required To See Color A Light Source An Object An Observer Visual Observing Situation LIGHT SOURCE OBSERVER OBJECT Visual Observing Situation The visual observing model shows the three items necessary to perceive color. To build an instrument that can quantify human color perception, each item in the visual observing situation must be represented as a table of numbers. Light Source Light Source A light source emits white light. When light is dispersed by a prism, all visible wavelengths can be seen. Sunlight Spectrum Light Source Visible light is a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The wavelength of light is measured in nanometers (nm). The CIE wavelength range of the visible spectrum is from 360 to 780 nm. A plot of the relative energy of light at each wavelength creates a spectral power distribution curve quantifying the characteristics of the light source.

  • Distributed $(\Delta+1)$-Coloring Via Ultrafast Graph Shattering | SIAM
    SIAM J. COMPUT. \bigcircc 2020 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Vol. 49, No. 3, pp. 497{539 DISTRIBUTED (\Delta + 1)-COLORING VIA ULTRAFAST GRAPH SHATTERING\ast y z x YI-JUN CHANG , WENZHENG LI , AND SETH PETTIE Abstract. Vertex coloring is one of the classic symmetry breaking problems studied in distrib- uted computing. In this paper, we present a new algorithm for (\Delta +1)-list coloring in the randomized 0 LOCAL model running in O(Detd(poly log n)) = O(poly(log log n)) time, where Detd(n ) is the de- 0 terministic complexity of (deg +1)-list coloring on n -vertex graphs. (In this problem, each v has a palette of size deg(v)+1.) This improves upon a previousp randomized algorithm of Harris, Schneider,p and Su [J. ACM, 65 (2018), 19] with complexity O( log \Delta +log log n+Detd(poly log n)) = O( log n). Unless \Delta is small, it is also faster than the best known deterministic algorithm of Fraigniaud,Hein- rich, and Kosowski [Proceedings of the 57th Annual IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Com- puter Science (FOCS), 2016] and Barenboim, Elkin, and Goldenberg [Proceedings of the 38th An- nualp ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC), 2018], with complexity O( \Delta log \Deltalog\ast \Delta +log\ast n). Our algorithm's running time is syntactically very similar to the \Omega (Det(poly log n)) lower bound of Chang, Kopelowitz, and Pettie [SIAM J. Comput., 48 (2019), pp. 122{143], where Det(n0) is the deterministic complexity of (\Delta + 1)-list coloring on n0-vertex graphs.

Debris Mitigation Techniques Used In Launch Vehicles The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States of America established debris mitigation strategies in the early 1980s after observing that hypergolic upper stages would often explode some time after they had completed their mission The latent period would range from several weeks to as long as 16-27 years Examination of the design of the stages led to the identification of a number of potential failure modes, modes that could have led to the observed explosions In each case, the event occurred because of the stored energy in the flight performance residuals that had been on board at the termination of the launcher stage mission Since then, a number of different techmques have been used to bum or vent the stored propellants and pressurants and to open electrical circuits and batteries.

Lavender January 1, 1974 305 867-2468 Release #KSC-1-74 OVER 1,500,000 VISITED KSC IN 1973 KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla.--More than 1,500,000 people visited the Space Center in 1973, the eighth year in which the public was admitted on a daily basis to NASA's major launch base. Trans World Airlines operates the Visitors Information Center and employs Florida Parlor Coach Co., Inc., a Greyhound subsidiary, to provide buses and escorts fc)r the daily 50-mile tours. TWA reported 1,264,321 patrons boarded the tour buses in 1973 which was second only to the peak year of 1972 in total attendance. About 20 percent of the visitors do not take the tour. The sustained public interest in the program was demonstrated by heavy visitation through the first 11 months of the year. By November 30, total attendance was only 5 percent under 1972. Impact of the gasoline problem on tourism, which was noted elsewhere in Florida, became apparent in December which is normally the peak month. Between December 15 and 31, 1973, boardings of the tour buses declined almost 40 percent compared to the 1972 levels. This drop had been anticipated by TWA which operated a fleet of 40 buses to take care of the crowds. In the same period of 1972, 78 buses were required. As a result of the sharp reduction for the holidays, the 1973 bus patronage dropped about 9 percent under the 1972 level.
