Modeling the Effects of Refrigerant Charging on Air Conditioner Performance Characteristics For Three Expansion Devices
(1990-08)
An experimental and analytical study concerned with the off-design refrigerant charging of air conditioners is presented. A series of experiments were conducted to characterize the effects of refrigerant charge and type ...
Study of Air Infiltration Energy Consumption
(1992-08)
The influence of heat recovery on the energy impact of air infiltration, and the systematic error due to the steady-state method were studied both experimentally and theoretically. Two methodologies suitable for measurement ...
Synthesis and analysis of streamflow and salt loads

Role of viscosity in the accurate prediction of source-terms for high molecular weight substances
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This study shows that using better material property predictions results in better source-term modeling for high molecular weight substances. Viscosity, density, and enthalpy are used as a function of process variables, ...

Effect of Refrigerant Charge, Duct Leakage, and Evaporator Air Flow on the High Temerature Performance of Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
An experimental study was conducted to quantify the effect of several installation items on the high outdoor ambient temperature performance of air conditioners. These installation items were: improper amount of refrigerant ...
An Improved Multipyranometer Array for the Measurement of Direct and Diffuse Solar Radiation
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
This thesis describes the development of an improved multipyranometer array (NDA) for the continuous remote measurement of direct and diff-use solar radiation. The NWA described in this thesis is an improvement over ...
The Impact of Charge on Performance of an Air-to-Air Heat Pump for R22 and Three Binary Blends of Refrigerants 32 and 134A
(Texas A&M University, 1993)

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 ...
The Influence of Dust on the Absorptivity of Radiant Barriers
(1993-08)
The purpose of this project was to model and quantify the increase of the absorptivity of radiant barriers caused by the accumulation of dust on the surface of radiant barriers. This research was the continuation of a ...
