2 Pershing, David W.Influence of fuel composition and flame temperature on the formation of thermal and fuel NOx in residual oil flamesA 900 kw model package boiler and a 20 kw laboratory tunnel furnace were used to study fuel and thermal NO, formation during heavy oil combustion. Package boiler results indicated that atomizer design, spray/ flow field interactions, and fuel composition were significant, dependent parameters. These...Residual oil flames1979
3 Mastrangelo, Carlos H.; Young, Darrin J.Personal navigation via high-resolution gait-corrected inertial measurement unitsAbstract-In this paper, a personal micronavigation system that uses high-resolution gait-corrected inertial measurement units is presented. The goal of this paper is to develop a navigation system that uses secondary inertial variables, such as velocity, to enable long-term precise navigation in th...2010
4 Horch, Kenneth W.; Tuckett, Robert P.; Burgess, Paul RichardNeural signal for skin indentation depth. I. Changing indentationsPsychophysical tests on human subjects showed that judgments of skin indentation depth made when the fingertip was indented at rates from 0.2 to 16 mm/set were quite insensitive to changes in indentation velocity. Similar results were obtained on the forearm at indentation velocities of 0.4 to 16...Skin; Indentation; Nerve impulses1983
5 Khan, Faisal HabibDeriving new topologies of DC-DC converters featuring basic switching cellsThis paper will introduce the two basic switching cells, P-cell and N-cell, and their applications in different power electronic circuits. These basic cells have one switching element and one diode. The P-cell is the mirror circuit of the N-cell and vice-versa, and this paper suggests that any powe...DC-DC converters; P-cell; N-cell; Switching cells; Cúk converters2006-07
6 Khan, Faisal HabibSwitching cells and their implications for power electronic circuitsThis paper will introduce two basic switching cells, P-cell and N-cell, along with their implications and applications in power electronic circuits. The concept of switching cells in power electronic circuits started in the late 1970's. The basic cells presented in this paper have one switching ele...2009-05
7 Horch, Kenneth W.; Tuckett, Robert P.; Burgess, Paul RichardNeural signal for the intensity of a tactile stimulusThe effect of indenting the skin at different rates on the perceived intensity of the stimulus was studied by indenting the skin of the fingertip with two triangular waveforms, given as a pair. The subjects were asked to judge which member of the pair was more intense. Perceived intensity was foun...Skin; Indentation; Nerve impulses1984
8 Mcpherson, Brian JamesOverpressures in the Uinta Basin, Utah: analysis using a three-dimensional basin evolution modelAbstract. High pore fluid pressures, approaching lithostatic, are observed in the deepest sections of the Uinta basin,Utah. Geologic observations and previous modeling studies suggest that the most likely cause of observed overpressure is hydrocarbon generation. We studied Uinta overpressure by dev...2001
9 Hansen, Charles D.Gaussian transfer functions for multi-field volume visualizationVolume rendering is a flexible technique for visualizing dense 3D volumetric datasets. A central element of volume rendering is the conversion between data values and observable quantities such as color and opacity. This process is usually realized through the use of transfer functions that are prec...Volume rendering; Transfer functions; Volume visualization2003
10 Pershing, David W.Bench and pilot scale process evaluation of reburning for in-furnace NOx reductionThis paper describes a combined experimental and theoretical study which was undertaken to quantify the impact of fuel and process parameters on reburning effectiveness and provide the scaling information required for commercial application of reburning under highly varied industrial conditions. Ini...Reburning; Nitrogen oxides reduction; Staged fuel injection1986
11 Christensen, Douglas A.Interface of forest and agriculture in nonpoint pollution controlManagement practices of agriculture, including conservation and tillage options, recently have received a great deal of attention with respect to their impact upon the environment. Research efforts have focused both on the direct impacts of reduced on-site productivity resulting from the erosion of ...Suspended sediment; Channel erosion; Silviculture1983
12 Henderson, Thomas C.; McMurtry, Patrick; Smith, Philip J.; Voth, Gregory Alan; Wight, Charles Albert; Pershing, David W.Simulating accidental fires and explosionsThe Center for the Simulation of Accidental Fires and Explosions at the University of Utah focuses on providing state-of-the-art, science-based tools for the numerical simulation of accidental fires and explosions, especially in the context of handling and storing highly flammable materials.Center for the Simulation of Accidental Fires and Explosions; PBX9501; HMX2000
13 McLennan, JohnFinal Report Geothermal Battery Energy StorageSolar and wind power are being introduced into electric grids to supplement and replace conventional electricity production. The deployment of utility-scale storage has not kept pace to overcome the intermittent nature of solar and to a lesser extent wind. Large-scale energy storage is cur...2020-06
14 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshOvis: A framework for visual analysis of ocean forecast ensemblesWe present a novel integrated visualization system that enables interactive visual analysis of ensemble simulations of the sea surface height that is used in ocean forecasting.
