(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)Heat flow measurement is a complex and sensitive discipline. It requires a thorough understanding of the available technology as well as a practical knowledge of the process and the fluid being measured. Accurate heat ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Calculations of Absorbed Fraction (AF) of radiation energy, for various source and target organs of interest in internal dosimetry, neglect the transport of electron by-products from photon interactions as well as beta ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)Current retaining wall design procedures are summarized with emphasis on the prediction of lateral earth pressures using the Coulomb and Rankine earth pressure theories, and the equivalent fluid pressure method. Results ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)In situ measurements and a wind tunnel experiment are used to define the degree of wind speedup in the boundary-layer flow over the top of a small mesa. Measurements of the speedup of the wind relative to that observed ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)The research presented herein is a new design and development of a special methodology to delineate the nature of clay fabric in natural sediments under in situ downhole pressure conditions using pressurized core barrel ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)A new, continuously weighed pycnometer has been constructed for fast and accurate density measurements. This apparatus consists of a sample cell that is suspended from an electronic balance at all times. The sample cell ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)This paper presents a control scheme which utilizes the enhanced instantaneous cooling load measurements to improve the reliability of chiller sequencing control. The enhanced measurement is obtained by merging two different ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)Channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), sea catfish (Arius felis), Florida pompano (Trachinotus carolinus), sheepshead (Archosargus probatocephalus), pinfish (Lagodon rhomboides), Atlantic croaker (Micropogon undulatus), ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)A combined Burnett-isochoric apparatus was designed and constructed to measure the pressure, density and temperature (P[rho]T) properties of corrosive fluids between 200 and 450 K to pressures of 21 MPa. Automated temperature ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1969)A variable period band pass filter with a specified width is develop and applied to the long wave data recorded at Wake Island during the time period of March 9-12, 1957. This filter attenuates waves of periods other than ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Soil moisture profiles were simulated for a hypothetical loamlike soil with a water and heat balance model. Expected X-band and L-band radiometer response to these conditions were simulated by a radiative transfer model. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)Diffusion in liquids is a very important phenomenon in all mass transfer operations. Although there are many correlations available to predict diffusivities in liquids, almost all of these are developed from data at ambient ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)Although a qualitative understanding of the fracture of rocks has been acquired, quantitative models are still inadequate. The construction of a predictive model of the brittle deformation of crystalline rocks requires ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)In order to improve the current design and construction guidelines for a continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) that is maintenance free for at least 20 years, an extensive literature review and laboratory ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)The objective of this dissertation is to examine the productivity growth of the steam generated fossil-fueled electric utility industry during the 1951 - 1978 period. This dissertation presents three alternative measures ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2010)Energy efficient buildings require high quality standards for all their technical equipment to enable their efficient and successful operation and management. Building simulations enable engineers to design integrated HVAC ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)A protocol was developed to test foam wheelchair cushions in the laboratory and clinically and to correlate the results. The laboratory procedure consisted of loading several types of foams at different temperatures, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)The baroclinic response due to forcing by a narrow current of a coastal ocean overlying a shelf with a submarine canyon was examined using a 1.5-layer enstrophy-conserving numerical model. Three canyon shapes were employed: ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)Infrared thermography has proven to be an important tool in numerous plant maintenance and energy conservation applications. Quantitative measurement, using infrared imaging instruments, is a powerful new dimension of ...
