Improving the searching abilities of a real-valued genetic algorithm
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This investigation shows that a genetic algorithm seems to be able to search a solution space more effectively with the addition of a gradient-based local improvement scheme. The objective of this research was to determine ...
Rotordynamic evaluation of frequency dependent impedances of hole-pattern gas damper seals
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Two hole-pattern seals are compared with one smooth bore seal. The two hole-pattern seals have cell depths of 2.03 mm and 3.18 mm with a cell diameter of 1.59 mm. The hole area density factor for both hole-pattern seals ...
Evaluation of a slotted orifice plate flow meter using horizontal two phase flow
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
In the past several years, the slotted orifice plate has been evaluated for its performance as a single phase flow meter using air and as a two-phase flow meter using water and air. These previous studies have both shown ...
