(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)This paper presents a case study for the optimization of a multipurpose facility in a school district. The facility is a single-story building with a total conditioned area of 35,571 ft2. It contains a full size basketball ...
-
(2022-07-26)Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive imaging modality that produces high-quality images. One of the biggest challenges in MRI is the lengthy scan procedure which could lead to motion artifact and patient ...
-
(2012-02-14)With increasing penetration of intermittent resources such as wind and solar, power system operations are facing much more challenges in cost effective provision of energy balancing and frequency regulation services. Enabled ...
-
(2017-04-07)Over the last two decades, magnetic gears and magnetically geared machines gained interest as a promising technology for use in high torque, low speed applications. Magnetic gears accomplish the same task as mechanical ...
-
(2012-10-19)In the first part of this thesis, the design of a compass robot is explored by considering its components and their interaction with each other. Three components including robot's structure, gear and motor are interacting ...
-
(2022-08-17)The focus of this thesis will be the development of a tensegrity flywheel with the goal of minimizing the mass while achieving the desired amount of angular momentum for attitude control of a spacecraft. Currently, flywheels ...
-
(2017-12-14)Interests in using rare-earth free motors such as switched reluctance motors (SRMs) for electric and hybrid electric vehicles (EV/HEVs) continue to gain popularity, owing to their low cost and robustness. Optimal design ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)Cooling water is expensive to circulate. Reducing its flow - i.e., hiking exchanger outlet temperatures - can cut tower, pump and piping investment as much as one-third and operating cost almost in half. Heat-exchanger-network ...
-
(2012-10-19)The past twenty years have seen the successful characterization and computational modeling efforts by the smart materials community to better understand the Shape Memory Alloy (SMA). Commercially available numerical analysis ...
-
(2012-10-19)This work introduces a systematic seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) membrane network synthesis approach, based on the coordinated use of process superstructure representations and global optimization. The approach makes use ...
-
(2022-04-21)Operational decision-making during drilling for hydrocarbons or geothermal energy is challenging due to the complex nature of the process. Many of the times, these decisions have to be taken with incomplete information at ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Drilling operations management will face hurdles to reduce costs and increase performance, and to do this with less experience and organizational drilling capacity. A technology called Drilling Simulators Software has shown ...
