Non-intrusive characterization of heat transfer fluid aerosol formation
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Heat transfer fluids are widely used in the chemical process industry and are available in a wide range of properties. These fluids are flammable above their flash points and can cause explosions. Though the possibility ...
Short-term Monitoring Long-term Prediction of Energy Use in Commercial and Institutional Buildings: the SMLP Method
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2001-05)
The Short-term Monitoring Long-term Prediction (SMLP) method is a new method for baselining, predicting and evaluating the energy performance of commercial and institutional buildings when only short-term data are available. ...
Modeling of Refrigerant Flow Through Flexible Short Tube Orifices
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2000-08)
Single-phase flow of refrigerants R-22, R-13a, and R-41a through flexible short tube orifices with three different geometries and a range in upstream operating conditions was modeling using the finite element method, FEM. ...
Effects of operating conditions on a heat transfer fluid aerosol
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Heat transfer fluids (HTFs) are extensively used in the chemical process industry and are available in wide ranges of properties. Aside from their importance, Factory Mutual Engineering and Research has reported 54 fires ...
An Analysis of Low Cost, Energy Efficient, Housing for Low-income Residents of How and Humid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2004-05)
The purpose of this research is to develop methods that will enable the reduction of owning and operating costs of low-income housing in the hot-humid climates of the U. S. The objectives include investigating various ...
Whole-Building Commercial HVAC System Simulation for Use in Energy Consumption Fault Detection
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2007-05)
Numerous fault detection and diagnostic system techniques
