    Notes: An ARCTM or similar experimental apparatus provides the transient temperature history of a chemical system under adiabatic conditions. The information obtained has several applications in the design and operation of industrial systems. Of particular interest is use of the adiabatic kinetic data to define “intervention strategies” based on “allowable response times” during an emergency.The time-temperature behavior of industrial reactors can be simulated over a limited temperature range by matching the “thermal inertia” (or φ-factor) of the experimental system to that of the full-scale system. This approach is applicable even for complex reactions, minimizes the extrapolation of data, and allows the use of simple models for data interpretation. Simulation results directly give the time available to respond in the event of a thermal runaway; this in turn defines the design requirements for an intervention scheme (e.g., emergency cooling, blow down, quench, etc.). The chosen intervention system can be tested experimentally prior to and/or during process start-up.

    Description: Porous embankments comprised of relatively homogeneous coarse rockfill can be used to reduce the amount of spillage at downstream hydro dams or to control the outflow from stormwater detention basins. The stage-discharge rating curve is important in the design of such applications. In general, the coarseness of the material causes the flow to be non-Darcy; that is, characterized by a nonlinear relationship between bulk velocity and hydraulic gradient. Six one-dimensional (1D) non-Darcy flow equations, appearing in the literature, are presented. A limited comparison between computed and experimental results is then made on the basis of 1D packed-column tests performed in the hydraulics laboratory of the University of Ottawa. The question as to how such 1D closed-conduit equations might be used to estimate the quantity of flow through a porous embankment is then addressed, considering that the latter has a free surface and is a two-dimensional (2D) flow. The problem is successfully dealt with using the concept of "effective hydraulic gradient," a concept reminiscent of the method of sections used to analyze confined 2D seepage problems. A general equation is presented in which the effective hydraulic gradient is shown to be a function of two factors: (1) the shape of the embankment and (2) the upstream depth, relative to the height of the dam. The development and verification of the equation for the effective hydraulic gradient is described, together with its use in obtaining a rating curve for a hypothetical flowthrough dam composed of rock material 0.25 m in diameter. Key words : non-Darcy flow, flowthrough rockfill, effective hydraulic gradient, stage-discharge rating curve.

    Description: A modified wedge method for the analysis of the stability of a downstream slope of a flowthrough rockfill dam is presented. The results from this wedge analysis are compared with results from a conventional Bishop method of analysis, and both are compared with experimental measurements of the forces at incipient failure from model tests performed on simple granular embankments in hydraulic flumes. The proposed wedge method, based on a nonrotational failure mechanism, compared more favourably with experimental observations than did the Bishop method of analysis, based on a rotational failure mechanism. It is also concluded that the Bishop method is very conservative for the analysis of such rockfill slopes. Key words : rockfill embankment, slope failure, bursting forces, model slopes, non-Darcy flow.

    Description: The NASA Lewis Research Center and the U.S. Army Research Laboratory are involved in a joint research program to advance the technology of aerospace transmissions. Within the last six years, a transmission diagnostics research team was formed to address current and future technology barriers in transmission diagnostics. The diagnostics team conducted a survey to determine critical needs of the diagnostics community. Survey results indicated that experimental verification of gear and bearing fault detection methods and damage magnitude assessment were considered the two most critical research areas of a highly reliable health and usage monitoring system. A plan was implemented by the diagnostics team to address these key research areas, by in-house research and university grants. A variety of transmission fault detection methods were applied to experimentally obtained fatigue data. Failure modes of the fatigue tests include a variety of gear pitting failures, tooth wear, tooth fracture, and bearing spalling failures. Accomplishments to date include verification of several specific gear diagnostic methods, verification of a new pattern recognition method to determine failure, and development of a new method to model gear tooth damage. This paper presents the results of these accomplishments in transmission diagnostics research at NASA Lewis Research Center.
