(2021-01-08)Thermal conductivity is one of the most important physical properties of materials. It plays a significant role in operation, performance and efficiency of the nuclear reactors. This study introduces a novel model for the ...
-
(2012-07-11)Currently, organ transplant procedures are insufficient to address the needs of the number of patients that suffer of organ failure related disease. In the United States alone, only around 19% of the patients are able to ...
-
(2014-12-10)Low regression rates in hybrid rockets limit their use and capability, but additive aluminum nano-particles represent a possible solution to this problem. In this thesis, aluminum nano-particles were characterized and added ...
-
(2015-08-11)With rising density of cores in Chip-Multiprocessors, traditional metallic interconnects won't be able to cater to the high demand in communication bandwidth at lower power consumption. Photonic interconnects are emerging ...
-
(2013-03-14)In this thesis we investigate coupling and preconditioning techniques for 19D hybrid neutronics calculations. Each problem is represented by two spatial regions with Sn in one region and either Diffusion (P1) or P3 in the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)In this study, an efficient new hybrid approach for multiple sensors data fusion and fault detection is presented, addressing the problem with possible multiple faults, which is based on conventional fuzzy soft clustering ...
-
(2017-12-08)With increasing design complexity and reliability requirements, analog and mixedsignal (AMS) verification manifests itself as a key bottleneck. While formal methods and machine learning have been proposed for AMS verification, ...
-
(2016-07-27)Hybrid-capacitors have the potential to synergistically combine the benefits of both electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) (longer cycle life) and pseudo-capacitors (higher capacitance). However, new processes ...
-
(2012-02-14)The presence of parasites in a population has an impact on mate choice and has substantial evolutionary significance. A relatively unexplored aspect of this dynamic is whether or not the presence of parasites increases ...
-
(2017-04-11)Interactions with atmospheric water are central to aerosol impacts on health, climate, and visibility. Many atmospheric aerosol constituents take up water in sub-saturated conditions, enhancing their impact on climate and ...
-
(2021-07-14)Low-Frequency Distributed Acoustic Sensing (LF-DAS) is a promising fracture diagnostic technique for detecting fracture hits and characterizing fracture geometry. However, measured signals exhibiting various characteristics ...
-
(2022-07-28)In unconventional shale formations where the horizontal bedding planes and laminations prevalently exist, the height propagation of a vertical hydraulic fracture is not only affected by the conventional factors such as the ...
-
(2017-12-01)Hydraulic fracturing stimulation has become a standard practice to enhance productivity of oil and gas wells in unconventional reservoirs (such as shale, tight sand, coal beds, etc.) previously considered difficult to ...
-
(2011-10-21)Hydraulic Fracturing is a technique to accelerate production and enhance ultimate recovery of oil and gas while fracture geometry is an important aspect in hydraulic fracturing design and optimization. Systematic design ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)District Cooling Systems (DCS) have been widely applied in large institutions such as universities, government facilities, commercial districts, airports, etc. The hydraulic system of a large DCS can be complicated. They ...
-
(2009-05-15)The experiments performed for this thesis were designed to define the primary process variables of time, temperature, and atmosphere for an engineering system that will produce metal powder from recycled nuclear fuel ...
-
(2016-08-05)Global urbanization is a major trend in the 21st century and imposes a significant impact on the hydrologic cycle, climate, and biodiversity. In particular, Asia and Africa are expected to experience the fastest urbanization ...
-
(2015-08-10)The Lower Fox River is a thirty-nine mile section which supports approximately 270,000 rural inhabitants across eighteen counties, 303,000 metropolitan residents in Green Bay and Appleton, Wisconsin, and several large ...
-
(2022-11-07)Crude oil is a heterogenous complex mixture composed of hydrocarbons with different structures, bioavailability, and chemical properties. Due to the various components of crude oil, it is crucial to understand how and when ...
-
(2020-12-02)Solvents are most often the major component of chemical reactions. Indeed, global solvent demand and cost are growing exponentially every year. Thus, solvent waste and efficient solvent recycling are big environmental ...
