Study of formation and convective transport of aerosols using optical diagnostic technique
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The characteristics of liquid and solid aerosols have been intensively investigated by means of optical diagnostic techniques. Part I describes the characteristics of liquid aerosol formation formed by heat transfer fluids ...
Data driven process monitoring based on neural networks and classification trees
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
Process monitoring in the chemical and other process industries has been of great practical importance. Early detection of faults is critical in avoiding product quality deterioration, equipment damage, and personal injury. ...
Binary mixture flammability characteristics for hazard assessment
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
Flammability is an important factor of safe practices for handling and storage of
liquid mixtures and for the evaluation of the precise level of risk. Flash point is a major
property used to determine the fire and explosion ...
Development of new methodologies for evaluating the energy performance of new commercial buildings
(2009-06-02)
The concept of Measurement and Verification (M&V) of a new building continues to become
more important because efficient design alone is often not sufficient to deliver an efficient building.
Simulation models that are ...
Measurement of flammability in a closed cylindrical vessel with thermal criteria
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Accurate flammability limit information is necessary for safe handling of gas and
liquid mixtures, and safe operation of processes using such mixtures. The flammability
limit is the maximum or minimum fuel concentration ...
Computational fluid dynamics for LNG vapor dispersion modeling: a key parameters study
(2009-05-15)
The increased demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) has led to the construction of several new
LNG terminals in the United States (US) and around the world. To ensure the safety of the
public, consequence modeling is used ...
Development of an Automated Methodology for Calibration of Simplified Air-Side HVAC System Models and Estimation of Potential Savings from Retrofit/Commissioning Measures
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This dissertation provides one methodology to determine potential energy savings
of buildings with limited information. This methodology is based upon the simplified
energy analysis procedure of HVAC systems and the control ...
A Methodology to Pre-Screen Commercial Buildings for Potential Energy Savings Using Limited Information
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Typical energy audits are sufficiently expensive and time-consuming that many
owners and managers of buildings are not willing to invest the time and money required
for a full audit. This dissertation provides a methodology ...
The Development of Comprehensive Community NOx Emissions Reduction Toolkit (CCNERT)
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
In this dissertation I will present and test a model linking actual applicant-interviewer demographic, human capital, and cultural capital similarity to an interviewer's recommendation to hire. Actual similarity is proposed ...
An Evaluation of the Bioclimatic Chart for Choosing Design Strategies for a Thermostatically-Controlled Residence in Selected Climates
(2009-05-15)
To be successful in sustainable building design, architects must consider energy
efficient design strategies in the early design stage. Unfortunately, many architects still
rely on simplified analysis, synthesis techniques, ...
