Fu, Kaibin (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)In this dissertation, we present the Slattery-Oh-Fu theory extending continuum mechanics to the nanoscale and its applications. We begin with an analysis of supercritical adsorption of argon, krypton, and methane on Graphon ...
-
Robinson, Richard Lee (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1996)In this document, three problems were examined to enhance the understanding of transport phenomena related to interfacial phenomena. Each of these problems: (1) the effect of an external field on a fluid phase (supercritical ...

Ruengphrathuengsuka, Wirogana (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)The present work is concerned with identifying the important parameters in bubble nucleation and growth and determining their effects on foam structures obtained by free expansion foaming. This work involves extending ...
-
Jeyaseelan, Ranjit Singh (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)Large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) data, as a function of strain amplitude and frequency, are measured for seven molten plastics. A constitutive equation based on transient network theory, following the original ...

Incorporation of line quantities in the continuum description for multiphase, multicomponent bodies Sagis, Leonard Martin (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)In this thesis the continuum description for dynamic, multiphase, multicomponent systems with intersecting dividing surfaces, is developed. In this development, the contribution of line excess quantities (line mass density, ...
-
Kimble, Michael Christopher (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)A mathematical model of a hydrogen/oxygen alkaline fuel cell is presented that can be used to predict the polarization behavior under various power loads. The major limitations to achieving high power densities are indicated ...

Andrews, Malcolm J.; Ross Jr., Joseph H.; Slattery, John C.; Yavuz, Mustafa; Beskok, Ali; Hartwig Jr., Karl T. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2004-09-07)A method includes providing a superconducting material having pinning sites that can pin magnetic vortices within the superconducting material. The method also includes pinning one or more magnetic vortices at one or more ...

Slattery, John C.; Giacomin, A. J. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1997-06-10)The present invention relates to a process for minimizing the flow instability of molten plastics caused by slippage of the melt at the die wall during the extrusion process. The slippage, and therefore the flow instability, ...
-
Seidel, Gary Don (2009-06-02)The present work provides a micromechanics approach based on the generalized self-consistent composite cylinders method as a non-Eshelby approach towards for assessing the impact of carbon nanotubes on the multi-functional ...
-
Sendova, Tsvetanka Bozhidarova (2009-05-15)The dissertation focuses on the analysis, through combined analytical and numerical techniques, of the partial differential equations arising from a new approach to modeling brittle fracture, based on extension of continuum ...
-
Uh, Jinsoo (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Advanced nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging methodologies have been developed to determine porous media properties associated with fluid flow processes. This dissertation presents the development of NMR experimental ...
-
Shafi, Muhammad Asjad (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)A theoretical model is presented which predicts the effect of physical properties and operating conditions on the structures formed during the polymer foaming processes. The nucleation rate expression is combined with the ...
-
Xue, Song (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The mathematical modeling and simulation of the flow of fluid through porous media are important in many areas. Relative permeability and capillary pressure functions are macroscopic properties that are defined within ...
