(2013-11-08)This dissertation presents a proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method that uses dynamic basis functions. The dynamic functions are of a prescribed form and do not explicitly depend on time but rather on parameters ...
-
(2010-10-12)Infinite dimensional systems such as flexible airplane wings and Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) blades may require control to improve performance. Traditional control techniques use position and velocity information ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the potential of nonconventional diets with high protein to calorie ratios to limit abdominal fat in broilers. In experiment 1, 1,100 male and 900 female chicks were randomly ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2001)Catastrophic accidents in complex plants arise from an unforeseen combination of a number of factors. Although much effort has been invested in both improving the reliability of components, and the design of user interfaces, ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2011)Since 2006, one of the largest integrated energy and chemical companies in the world has actively pushed toward optimization and upgrading of pipelines, refineries and petrochemical plants in China for the purpose of ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)Owners or managers want to conserve energy, however, they have limited funds. Energy conservation must stand on its merits economically if it is to successfully compete for funds. There are two basic types of approaches ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2002-04)With the uncertain cost of energy, optimizing the use of air in process dryers, ovens and air pollution control systems is critical to your bottom line. The revived emphasis on air management through the entire process, ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2007)Large cooling systems typically represent substantial capital investments and incur high operating energy costs. Cooling loads tend to peak during times of year and times of day when high ambient temperatures create a ...
