3-D laser doppler velocimeter measurements of eccentric annular and labyrinth seals
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
A 3-D laser doppler velocimeter was used to measure the flow field inside a whirling annular and labyrinth seal. The data was collected and phase averaged with the seals operating at a Reynolds number of 24,000 and a ...
Performance of a small scale boiler burner in the firing of fuel blends
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
Power plants spend nearly 50 billion dollars a year on fuel cost. Presently coal accounts for over 75% of the electricity generated in this country. Due to increasingly harsh environmental regulations, the demand for low ...
The interaction between two radial jets
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
Arrays of impinging jets are used in industry for heat and mass transfer processes. A new type of jet was recently developed which could be utilized in such arrays. This jet is the radial jet and it offers the advantages ...
A slotted orifice plate used as a flow measurement device
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
The standard orifice plate is used extensively by the natural gas industry for the metering of fuel. Because of the costs associated with errors in flow measurement inherent with the use of a standard orifice plate, any ...
Modeling the transient operation of an endothermic fuel cooling system for high Mach number vehicle missions
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
A computer model was developed to simulate the transient operation of a hypothetical endothermic fuel cooling system. The model simulated the performance of a cross-flow, shell and tube heat exchanger. This model was ...
Parameter identification using experimental nonlinear dynamics and chaos
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
Parameter identification using experimental nonlinear dynamics and chaos was applied to a piecewise-linear oscillator; application to cracked beams was attempted. Electronic integration circuitry was constructed to provide ...
Finite difference model of eccentric labyrinth seals
(Texas A&M University, 1993)

Investigations in cool thermal storage: storage process optimization and glycol sensible storage enhancement
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
Within the last fifteen years, the development and utilization of cool thermal energy storage for use in building air-conditioning has witnessed a dramatic increase. Originally, research in thermal storage was rooted in ...
Software for rotordynamic analysis including flexible foundation, soil stiffness and inertia
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
