Thermal Conduction Equations For A Medium With An Inclusion Using Galerkin Method
(Mechanical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
The Galerkin method is used to semi-analytically solve the heat conduction equation in non-homogeneous materials. The problem under deliberation is a square plate with a circular inclusion having different thermal ...
Heat Transfer Analysis Of A Pulse Detonation Engine
(Mechanical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
A thermal analysis of the effect of sensible heat release on the walls of the detonation chamber for stoichiometric mixtures of hydrogen/air, octane/air and octane/oxygen was presented. The detonation tube was assumed to ...
Trajectory Uncertainty Analysis For The Development Of A Queuing Model For The National Airspace System
(Aerospace Engineering, 2010-07-19)
In this research, we propose to support the development of a queuing model for the National Airspace System (NAS) by providing distributions for the various phases of flight, accounting for the uncertainties in flight ...
Guidance Of Receiver Aircraft To Rendezvous With Tanker In The Presence Of Wind
(Aerospace Engineering, 2010-03-03)
This thesis work addresses the problem of aircraft rendezvous in the presence of prevailing wind for automated aerial refueling operations. A modified point-parallel rendezvous procedure is defined. The tanker aircraft ...
