The Effect of Alternate Defrost Strategies on the Reverse-Cycle Defrost of an Air-Source Heat Pump (Texas A&M University, 1988)Not available
-
(Texas A&M University, 1995-08)The present work is concerned with developing a discretized analytical model to investigate the effect of a backfill on the performance of a vertical U-tube ground-coupled heat pump. This work involves the development ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1995)An experimental study was conducted to quantify the effect of several installation items on the high outdoor ambient temperature performance of air conditioners. These installation items were: improper amount of refrigerant ...

(Texas A&M University, 1988)Not available
-
(Texas A&M University, 1988-12)A study on the effects of frost growth on the performance of finned tube heat exchangers under laminar flow has been conducted. The study was both experimental and analytical. The experimental part of the investigation ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1995-12)The effects of hydrophobic coatings on the dropwise condensation process for a flat horizontal copper plate held at a temperature much lower than the surrounding air was investigated. Extensive qualitative and quantitative ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1993-08)The work described in this report was performed under the direction of the Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Center (EADC) at Texas A&M University. The EADC program is managed by University City Science Center under agreement ...
-
(2009-05-15)To be successful in sustainable building design, architects must consider energy efficient design strategies in the early design stage. Unfortunately, many architects still rely on simplified analysis, synthesis techniques, ...
-
(2022-11-09)A significant portion of energy consumption occurs in buildings today. Accurate and easy-to-implement methods are needed to calculate building energy consumption for a wide range of applications, including efficiency ...
-
(1994-12)The heat transfer coefficients and pressure drops of HCFC-22 and a 50% mass mixture of HFC-32/HFC-125 were experimentally measured under flow boiling conditions in a smooth tube. The refrigerants were flowed through an 8 ...
-
(University of Colorado, 1986-07)This work concludes six years of energy conservation studies performed for the University of Colorado Student Recreation Center. The studies began late in 1980 when the University of Colorado Student Administrators asked ...

(2020-12)Degree day methods are used in the estimation of building energy consumption and climate classification for buildings (e.g. in ASHRAE Standard 169-2013, which is adopted in ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2016). This study, first ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1997)This thesis describes the development of an improved multipyranometer array (NDA) for the continuous remote measurement of direct and diff-use solar radiation. The NWA described in this thesis is an improvement over ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1994-12)With the increased use of building energy simulation programs, calibration of simulated data to measured data has been recognized as an important factor in substantiating how well the model fits a real building. Model ...
-
(1993-08)The purpose of this project was to model and quantify the increase of the absorptivity of radiant barriers caused by the accumulation of dust on the surface of radiant barriers. This research was the continuation of a ...
