Optimizing the efficiency of cylindrical cyclone gas/liquid separators for field applications
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Problems associated with the use of compact cylindrical cyclone gas/liquid (CCGL)
separators can be attributed to two physical phenomena: gas carry-under and liquid carryover
(LCO). Inadequate understanding of the complex ...
Optimal fault location
(2009-05-15)
Basic goal of power system is to continuously provide electrical energy to the users.
Like with any other system, failures in power system can occur. In those situations it is
critical that correct remedial actions are ...
Charecterization of inertial and pressure effects in homogeneous turbulence
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
The objective of the thesis is to characterize the linear and nonlinear aspects of inertial
and pressure effects in turbulent flows. In the first part of the study, computations of
Navier-Stokes and 3D Burgers equations ...
An analysis of casual carpool passenger behavior in Houston, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
In the last thirty years, determined travelers have developed a new method of travel that
allows them to receive the benefits of traveling on the HOV lane without forming
traditional carpools. This new mode is known as ...
Incorporating salinity considerations in water availability modeling
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
This research focused on expanding the capabilities of the Water Rights Analysis
Package (WRAP) for incorporating salinity considerations in assessments of water
availability. A simulation modeling approach was used to ...
Field location & marking of no-passing zones due to vertical alignments using the global positioning system
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Passing on two-lane roadways is one of the most difficult movements a driver may
perform and guidance on where passing maneuvers are prohibited is given by the
location of no-passing zones. Currently the processes for ...
The Method of Division and Aristotle's Criticism of Platonic Philosophy
(2010-07-14)
This thesis investigates Aristotle's criticism and consequent reformulation of the
Platonic method for formulating definitions called the Method of Division. For both
Plato and Aristotle, the object of division is a natural ...
On the use of cheap talk in hypothetical product valuation: a field experiment
(2009-05-15)
Experimental willingness to pay (WTP) studies can be classified as hypothetical or non-hypothetical. In a hypothetical study, such as conjoint analysis, a subject does not need to make a real economic commitment. In contrast, ...
Effect of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids and related nutrients on sebum lipids, and skin and hair coat condition in canines
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
A study was performed to investigate the effect of diets rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and other related nutrients, in the effort to improve skin and hair coat conditions in canines. The study included 24 dogs fed a ...
