Measured and Predicted Rotor-Pad Transfer Functions for a Rocker-Pivot Tilting-Pad Journal Bearing (2012-02-14)Many researchers have compared predicted stiffness and damping coefficients for tilting-pad journal bearings (TPJBs) to measurements. Most have found that direct damping is consistently overpredicted. The thrust of this ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)Four occupied homes near Dallas, Texas were monitored to compare heating and cooling energy use. Two homes were built with typical wood frame construction, the other two with insulated concrete form (ICF) construction. Remote ...

(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)Upstream production of natural gas is commonly a mixture of both liquid and gas hydrocarbons that is separated before boosting the gas or liquid flows to higher pressure for transport. The gas-liquid mixture is known to ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)A 15-year old, 3-ton single package air-to-air heat pump was tested in laboratory environmental chambers simulating indoor and outdoor conditions. After documenting initial performance, the unit was retrofitted with a ...

(Texas A&M University, 1991-05)Infiltration is customarily assumed to increase the heating and cooling load of a building by an amount equal to the mass flow rate of the infiltration times the enthalpy difference between the inside and outside air - ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)The energy consumption calculation of house envelopes assumes that conduction heat loss is independent on air infiltration heat loss, and that energy consumption is the sum of these losses. Anderlind [1985], Liu [1987], ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)The Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) is metering energy use in a Habitat for Humanity housing development. The objective is to understand the way in which energy is used in low income housing and how it can be effectively ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2001)Energy use indices for 27 government office buildings are presented that have been assembled from hourly monitored data as part of the Texas LoanSTAR program and other efforts at the Energy Systems Laboratory. These indices ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)Three stages of a mixed flow electric submersible pump were subjected to 117 hours of erosion using a 2 gram/liter concentration ratio of 100 mesh hydraulic fracture sand to water. The sand passed through the pump one time ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)A study has been conducted by the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) to examine if space cooling energy savings can be achieved from shading of residential air conditioning (AC) condenser units. The investigation consisted ...

(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)Test results are presented and compared for the following annular pump seal geometries: (a) a smooth-rotor/circumferentially-grooved stator (SR/GS) and (b) a smooth-stator/circumferentially-grooved rotor (GR/SS). The GR/SS ...

(American Physical Society, 1999)An ion storage technique, based on the capture of metastable multiply charged ions from an external ion source into a Kingdon ion trap, has been used to measure the lifetimes of eight metastable levels of Mn ions with ...
-
(American Physical Society, 1994)Metastable multiply charged argon ions produced in, and extracted from, an electron cyclotron resonance ion source were captured from the beam into an electrostatic (Kingdon) ion trap by rapidly pulsing the potential of ...
