    • Atmospheric Condensation Potential of Windows in Hot, Humid Climates 
      El Diasty, R.; Budaiwi, I. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
      In hot, humid climates, the internal surfaces of windows in air-conditioned buildings are in contact with relatively colder air. Meanwhile, the external surfaces are exposed to hot humid atmospheric air. This hygro-thermal ...
    • Effect of Combustion Air Preheat on a Forged Furnace Productivity 
      Ward, M. E.; Bohn, J.; Davis, S. R.; Knowles, D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      A basic thermal analysis of a gas fired forge furnace can determine the fuel savings from exhaust energy recovery/combustion air preheat on a furnace operating at a single condition, for example, high fire. What this ...
    • An Evaluation of Shadow Shielding for Lunar System Waste Heat Rejection 
      Worn, Cheyn (2012-07-16)
      Shadow shielding is a novel and practical concept for waste heat rejection from lunar surface spacecraft systems. A shadow shield is a light shield that shades the radiator from parasitic thermal radiation emanating from ...
    • Multiple Objective Optimization Design of the Magnetic Bearing Supported Rotordynamic System 
      Zhong, Wan (2015-07-08)
      Magnetic bearings have been widely used in turbomachinery field due to their advantages from the non-contact mechanism and the absence of a lubrication requirement. This study focuses on modeling and predicting the ...
    • Reflective cracking of shear keys in multi-beam bridges 
      Sharpe, Graeme Peter (2009-06-02)
      Multi-beam bridges made from precast concrete box girders are one of the most common bridge types used in the United States. One problem that affects these bridges is the development of longitudinal or reflective cracks ...
    • Systematic Approach for Chemical Reactivity Evaluation 
      Aldeeb, Abdulrehman Ahmed (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
      Under certain conditions, reactive chemicals may proceed into uncontrolled chemical reaction pathways with rapid and significant increases in temperature, pressure, and/or gas evolution. Reactive chemicals have been ...
