Frisani, Angelo 1980- (2012-12-07)Two immersed boundary methods (IBM) for the simulation of conjugate heat transfer problems with complex geometries are introduced: a finite element (IFEM) and a finite volume (IFVM) immersed boundary methods are discussed. ...
-
Hartley, Jessica (2012-10-19)The double ended guillotine break leading to density-driven air ingress has been identified as a low probability yet high consequence event for Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR). The lower plenum of the VHTR contains ...
-
Thanapal, Siva S (2014-04-25)Mesquite and juniper can be beneficially utilized for gasification and combustion applications. Torrefaction has been considered to be one of the thermal pretreatment options to improve the chemical (e.g. heat content) and ...
-
Eseltine, Dustin E. (2012-02-14)The research presented focuses on the use of Carbon-dioxide (CO₂), Nitrogen (N₂) and Argon (Ar) as purge gases for torrefaction. Torrefaction using CO₂ as a purge gas may further improve the fuel characteristics of the ...

Villarroel, Milivoy (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)The objectives of this study were to 1) determine the effects of cycle-to-cycle variations (ccv) on nitric oxide (NO) emissions, and 2) determine if the consideration of ccv affects the average NO emission as compared to ...
-
Hanna, Sherif Fayez (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)The application of electronic-resonance enhanced (ERE) coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) for the detection of nitric oxide (NO) and acetylene (C2H2) is experimentally demonstrated and the effects of various ...
-
Ryu, Yeontack (2012-11-30)Carbon nanotubes are made into films or bulks, their surface or junction morphology in the networks can be modified to obtain desired electrical transport properties by various surface modification methods. The methods ...

Nanda, Arnab (2017-05-09)he energy for sustaining life is released through the oxidation of glucose, fats, and proteins. A part of the energy released within each cell is stored as chemical energy of Adenosine Tri- Phosphate molecules, which is ...
-
Mulloy Jr, John Patrick (2022-06-14)A hybridized Eulerian-Lagrangian solver was built in the open-source computational fluid dynamics code OpenFOAM. This solver was developed as a starting point for higher fidelity combined abrasion-ablation effects modeling ...
-
Paliwal, Richa (2012-02-14)The universal adoption of biomass materials as an alternate fuel source to fossil fuels for transportation and electricity has been hindered by the high transportation costs involved in fuel production. Optimization of ...
-
Vaghetto, Rodolfo (2013-11-25)The Very High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (VHTR) is one of the next generation nuclear reactors designed to achieve high temperatures to support industrial applications and power generation. The Reactor Cavity Cooling ...
-
Bhimani, Shreyas Mahesh (2012-07-16)Vegetable oils have been researched as alternative source of energy for many years because they have proven themselves as efficient fuel sources for diesel engines when used in the form of biodiesel, vegetable oil–diesel ...
-
Gao, Kaimi (2015-08-09)Residential and commercial buildings consume 40% of the energy used in the United States. Heating and cooling uses more energy than any other system in a building. Typically, 43% of a building utility bill goes to HVAC ...
-
Seo, Joseph (2021-12-10)The convective boiling heat transfer of annular flow in concentric and eccentric annuli was investigated experimentally using a central heating rod in an unheated tube. Advanced measurement techniques—laser-induced ...
-
Yu, Jiwon 1982- (2012-12-03)Experiments were performed to study forced convective heat transfer of de-ionized water (DI water) and aqueous nanofluids flowing in a microchannel. An array of temperature nanosensors, called “Thin Film Thermocouples ...
-
Nam, Hyungseok (2012-07-16)Vegetable oil is one of the most widely available renewable sources of energy that can be used to meet the world’s demands. Many vegetable oils also have the advantage of containing little to no detectable amounts of ...
-
Johar, Jasmeet Singh (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Two flow reactor studies, using an electrically heated laminar flow reactor over Vanadia based (V2O5-WO3/TiO2) honeycomb catalyst, were performed at 1 atm pressure and various temperatures. The experiments were conducted ...
-
Lee, Kimoon (2019-05-27)The objective of this study is to conduct the experiments in the steam-water direct contact condensation and to investigate on the heat transfer characteristic such as the heat transfer coefficient, the pool temperature ...
