Pressure and momentum field investigation of a centrifugal pump through dynamic loading of a semi-open impeller
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
A study was performed to investigate the variation in the forces and moments acting on the front and back sides of a semi-open impeller. Three rotational speeds and five volumetric flow rates for each speed were identified ...
Fault tolerant control of automatically controlled vehicles in response to brake system failures
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Increasing highway traffic congestion and high cost of ics. building new highways have brought out a renewed design of an Automated Highway System (AHS). Since safety is an important issue in the development of an AHS, ...
A Methodology to Develop Monthly Energy Use Models From Utility Billing Data for Seasonally Scheduled Buildings: Application to Schools
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The measured energy savings from retrofits in buildings in the Texas LoanSTAR program are determined as the difference between the energy consumption predicted by a baseline model and the measured energy consumption during ...
Development of Pre-Screening Indices to Improve Energy Analysis of Public K-12 Schools
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Indices are an important tool used to increase the accuracy and efficiency of the energy audit process. This thesis describes methods for using annual, monthly, daily, and hourly indices to improve current energy auditing ...
Design and analysis of an actuator/position sensor for microgravity vibration isolation
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
An actuator/position sensor was desired for Micrographics. microgravity vibration isolating. The actuator is to be used as a successor to the actuator used in the current microgravity vibration isolation system develop by ...
Rotordynamic evaluation of a tangential-injection hybrid bearing
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
: : Issued also on microfiche from Lange Micrographics. For future high-speed cryogenic turbomachinery, ball bearings will be replaced by hybrid bearings that combine hydrostatic and hydrodynamic effects. Hybrid bearings ...
Imbalance response of a rigid rotor supported on end sealed integral squeeze film dampers
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Modern turbomachinery design directs towards the ographics. generation or utilization of increasing amounts of power with the minimum engine weight. High performance turbomachinery requires of appropriate means to ensure ...
Designing, testing, and analyzing coupled, flux transformer heat
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The proposed research involves designing, testing, and ics. analyzing a coupled, flux transformer heat pipe system following the patent of Oktay and Peterson (1997). Experiments were conducted utilizing four copper heat ...
Intelligent Cruise Control design based on a traffic flow specification
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The principal objectives of the Automated Highway graphics. System (AHS), an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technology, are to increase the safety and through-put of the existing highway by traffic automation. ...
A study of ignition and combustion characteristics of isolated coal water slurry droplet using digital image processing technique
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
A digital image processing technique is used to investigate the ignition and combustion characteristics of an isolated coal water slurry droplet in low Re flow. Coal water slurry droplet study is useful for dilute coal ...
