Development of Fourier series and Artificial Neural Network approaches to model hourly energy use in commercial buildings
(1995)
This dissertation develops Fourier series and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) approaches to model hourly energy use in commercial buildings and illustrates application to data-screening. The procedure for modeling hourly ...
Modelling for combustion and sulphur retention efficiencies of fluidized bed combustors
(1987)
Studies on the combustion of coal and sulphur capture by limestone/lime particles are carried out analytically and verified with the experimental data reported elsewhere. Extensive experimental data are available for small ...
Dynamic analysis of arbitrary profile liquid annular seals and transient analysis with large eccentric motion
(1993)
One of the main objectives of this work is to develop a new dynamic analysis for liquid annular seals with arbitrary profile and analyze a general distorted interstage seal of the Space Shuttle Main Engine High Pressure ...
Prediction of unsteady loads and moments on ship propellers
(1977)
Feasibility of a three dimensional, incompressible flow velocity potential formulation to predict steady and unsteady loads and moments on typical marine propellers is demonstrated. Such formulation is developed with ...
Approximate solution for a rolling contact problem over a relatively general viscoelastic half-space
(1977)
An approximate method is developed to predict the coefficient of friction and normal load for the problem of a rigid circular cylinder moving across a relatively general viscoelastic half-space with constant velocity. The ...
Mathematical model of the Texas A&M low-tension oil containment barrier
(1971)
The Texas A&M Low-Tension Oil Containment Barrier, the purpose of which is to control the movement of oil slicks on the ocean surface, was designed to minimize structural loads and to insure excellent wave following ...
An analytical study of pressure effect on the inversion temperature of gases and a comparison of equations of state on the basis of this study
(1972)
In this study the pressure effect on the inversion temperature of gases was determined. The gases selected for this study were two of the more common ones, namely, air and nitrogen. An equation of state is a means for ...
Transverse effects in thin elastic shells
(1969)
A shell theory is introduced which uses linearly exact expressions for the transverse variation of the displacement components. These displacement variations, first formulated by Kozik, include separately the effects of ...
Thermodyanamic behavior with cost predictions of residential desiccant cooling systems
(1986)
A computer model is developed to simulate the thermodynamic behavior of residential, desiccant space conditioning systems. Finite difference methods are used to model a rotating desiccant wheel and the results used to ...
