An experimental, theoretical and numerical investigation of corona wind heat transfer enhancement
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
Corona wind heat transfer enhancement is a non-mechanical means of augmenting transfer coefficients in free and low-velocity convection flow fields. Ions formed near the surface of a high-voltage electrode are forced along ...
Effect of design parameter variations on hybrid (combination hydrostatic and hydrodynamic) bearings for use in high speed turbomachinery
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
Hybrid (combination hydrostatic and hydrodynamic) bearings have been proposed for use as a support element in cryogenic high speed turbomachinery for primary and auxiliary space power applications because of their long ...
The effects of preswirl on flow through centered and eccentric annular seals
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
Analysis has been done for LDV measurements of the flow through centered and statically eccentric annular seals. The effects of both positive and negative preswirl upon the mean velocity, Reynolds stress tensor, vorticity, ...

Measuring Retrofit Savings in Commercial Buildings with Pre-Retrofit Utility Billing Data and Post-Retrofit Sub-Metered Data
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
Methodologies to measure energy and dollar savings resulting from energy conserving retrofits in commercial buildings when both pre-retrofit and post-retrofit monitored data are available at an hourly or daily level have ...
The Impact of Charge on Performance of an Air-to-Air Heat Pump for R22 and Three Binary Blends of Refrigerants 32 and 134A

Kinetic modeling of nitric oxide removal from exhaust gases by Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction is one of the most promising techniques for the removal of oxides of nitrogen from combustion exhaust gases. These techniques are based on the injection of certain compounds, such as ...
A study of the self-oscillating jet impingement nozzle
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
In line jets are used throughout industry for drying and heat transfer. A simple modification to an in line jet offers significant enhancement of transport properties. The addition of a collar to an in line jet exit ...
Development of a one-component Doppler Global Velocimeter
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
An operational one-component Doppler Global Velocimetry (DGV) system including both hardware and data reduction software was developed and is described. This optical system uses a laser light sheet and a frequency-to-intensity ...
A comparison of theoretical and experimental rotordynamic coefficients for helically grooved annular gas seals
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
Experimental results for the rotordynamic coefficients and leakage characteristics of helically grooved annular gas seals are presented. The effects of speed, inlet pressure, pressure ratio, clearance, fluid pre-rotation, ...
