A reactor and kinetic model for liquefaction of lignite in an upflow tubular reactor
(1985)
A kinetic and tubular reactor model for the CO-Steam process for the liquefaction of North Dakota lignite is presented. The purpose of the model is to translate existing data into different process conditions in order to ...
The effect of resin toughness on the delamination fracture behavior of graphite/epoxy composites
(1985)
The objective of this dissertation research was to develop improved understanding of the deformation and fracture physics of delamination in resin toughened graphite/epoxy composites. Experiments were conducted in pure ...
Texas petroleum production and the windfall profit tax
(1985)
This dissertation considers the impact of the federal windfall profit tax (WPT) on aggregate Texas petroleum production. First, an engineering-based economic model is developed that incorporates both the geophysical aspects ...
Kinetic studies of upgrading pine pyrolytic oil by hydrotreatment
(1985)
The pyrolysis of biomass refers to incomplete thermal degradation resulting in char, pyrolytic oil, and gaseous products. The pyrolytic oil is a complex mixture of many components including phenolics, anhydrosugars, and ...
An investigation of cosmic ray scintillations in muons near sea level
(1985)
An investigation of scintillations in ground-level cosmic ray muons has been conducted using a muon telescope constructed at Texas A&M University. The power density spectrum of the muon counting rate was calculated and the ...
