Mantilla, Ivan (2012-10-19)The scale of the energy business today and a favorable and promising economic environment for the production of natural gas, requires study of the thermophysical behavior of fluids: sophisticated experimentation yielding ...
-
Blanda, Michael T. (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)A family of synthetic host molecules have been prepared, ranging in structural complexity from spiro-annelated monocycles 16 to symmetric bicycles 12 and ditopic tricycles 14. The neutral host molecules contain either two ...
-
Wang, Bo (2009-05-15)Hydrogenation and dehydrogenation on Pd- and Pt- catalysts are encountered in many industrial hydrocarbon processes. The present work considers the development of catalysts and their kinetic modeling along a general and ...
-
Zhou, Jingjun (2009-05-15)We have developed a new automatic apparatus for the measurement of the phase equilibrium and pVT properties of natural gas mixtures in our laboratory. Based on the isochoric method, the apparatus can operate at temperature ...
-
Yun, Geun-Woong (2009-05-15)LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) is one of the fastest growing energy sources in the U.S. to fulfill the increasing energy demands. In order to meet the LNG demand, many LNG facilities including LNG importation terminals are ...
-
Vidal Vazquez, Migvia del C. (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Flammability is an important factor of safe practices for handling and storage of liquid mixtures and for the evaluation of the precise level of risk. Flash point is a major property used to determine the fire and explosion ...
-
Hernandez-Valencia, Vicente Nicolas (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)An experimental apparatus, based on the Burnett mixing experiments, was designed and constructed for measuring the cross second virial coefficient (B12). In this isothermal experiment, two pure fluids are fed to separate ...
-
Patil, Prashant Vithal (2009-05-15)High-accuracy density measurement data are required to validate equations of state (EOS) for use in custody transfer of natural gas through pipelines. The AGA8-DC92 EOS, which is the current industry standard has already ...
-
Wang, Xiaonian (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)This dissertation intends to provide new tuning techniques for several simple cubic equations of state (EOS) to improve their accuracy in calculating fluid phase equilibrium. It also provides graphical tools to predict ...
-
Gentile, Michela (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Inherent safety has been recognized as a design approach useful to remove or reduce hazards at the source instead of controlling them with add-on protective barriers. However, inherent safety is based on qualitative ...
-
Dorsi, Eugene Nicholas (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)Equation of state calculations are used by engineers in all phases of chemical process design and control. New processes often are designed to operate under conditions for which insufficient experimental data exist, and ...
-
Abedi, Ali Abdulhamid (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Ethylene is one of the most important petrochemical intermediates and feedstocks for many different products. The motivating force of this work is to compare a new process of ethylene production developed at Texas A&M ...
-
Tompkins, Brandon T. (2009-05-15)Biofuels have become very important topics over the past decade due to the rise in crude oil prices, fear of running out of crude oil, and environmental impact of emissions. Biodiesel is a biofuel that is made from plant ...
-
Cristancho Blanco, Diego Edison (2011-08-08)Natural Gas (NG) plays an important role in the energy demand in the United States and throughout the world. Its characteristics as a clean, versatile and a sustainable source of energy makes it an important alternative ...
-
Zhao, Fuman (2009-05-15)Flammability limit is a significant safety issue for industrial processes. A certain amount of flammability limit data for pure hydrocarbons are available in the literature, but for industrial applications, there are ...
-
Herrera Gomez, Lady Carolina (2012-07-16)Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a commonly used flammable fuel that has safety concerns associated with vapor dispersion and radiation emitted from pool fires. The main objective of this effort is to advance the knowledge ...
-
Lu, Jiang (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)A novel high-k gate dielectric material, i.e., hafnium-doped tantalum oxide (Hf-doped TaOx), has been studied for the application of the future generation metal-oxidesemiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET). The ...
-
Ejaz, Saquib (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Highly accurate data for density measurements are required for engineering calculations as well for developing equations of state (EOS) for use in the custody transfer of natural gas through pipelines. The widely used ...
-
Zhao, Fuman (2012-02-14)Flammability limit is a most significant property of substances to ensure safety of chemical processes and fuel application. Although there are numerous flammability literature data available for pure substances, for fuel ...
