New submissions to the thesis/dissertation collections are added automatically as they are received from the Graduate School. Currently, the Graduate School deposits all theses and dissertations from a given semester after the official graduation date. This means that there may be up to a 4 month delay in the appearance of a given thesis/dissertation in DRUM.

More information is available at Theses and Dissertations at University of Maryland Libraries.

    Characterization of the MIL-F-24385F Nozzle
    (2005-01-25) Hoskins, Bryan Lawrence; Milke, James A; Fire Protection Engineering; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)
    Aqueous Film Forming Foam has been a fire suppression agent in use for nearly forty years. During this period, there has been little emphasis on characterizing the flow from nozzles that have a throw of only a few meters. With environmental concerns starting to appear, it is important to understand how the foam behaves. The research presented in this document attempts to quantify the mass flux and momentum of the foam. This was done using both experimental data and hand calculations. A range of nozzle angles were examined in an attempt to set bounds of the minimum and maximum expected values.
