Control of Vapor Dispersion and Pool Fire of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) with Expansion Foam
(2011-10-21)
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is flammable when it forms a 5 – 15 percent volumetric
concentration mixture with air at atmospheric conditions. When the LNG vapor comes in
contact with an ignition source, it may result in ...
Laminar Flame Speeds of Nano-Aluminum/Methane Hybrid Mixtures
(2014-12-12)
An existing flame speed bomb, which uses optical techniques to measure laminar flame speed, was employed to study the fundamental phenomena of flame propagation through a uniformly dispersed aerosol. In a previous thesis ...
An Investigation of Methods for Reducing the Use of Non-Renewable Energy Resources for Housing in Thailand
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
The purpose of this research is to develop methods that reduce energy consumption in a
residential building in a hot and humid climate region (Thailand) using efficient architectural
building components and renewable ...
Analysis of Improved Fenestration for Code-Compliant Residential Buildings in Hot and Humid Climates
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
This thesis presents an analysis of energy efficient residential windows in hot and humid climates.
To accomplish this analysis, the use of accurate simulation tools such as DOE-2.1e is required, which
incorporates the ...
High Flash-point Fluid Flow System Aerosol Flammability Study and Combustion Mechanism Analysis
(2013-12-02)
The existence of flammable aerosols creates fire and explosion hazards in the process industry. Due to the operation condition of high pressure circumstances, heat transfer fluids tend to form aerosols when accidental ...
Consideration of Solar Radiation in Flare Design
(2018-05-01)
At oil refineries and other chemical processing plants, a flare stack is used to get rid of unwanted or excessive gases and relieve the system of excess pressure. These gases can be generated during different stages of ...
Development of a Safety Management System for Drilling and Servicing Operations within OSHA Jurisdiction Area for Texas
(2015-11-05)
Workers of oil and gas extraction industries are exposed to different safety hazards, resulting in fatality rates seven times greater than that of the average U.S. worker. However, oil and gas drilling and servicing ...
Thermal, Mechanical and Flammability Studies of Flame-retardant Polymer Nanocomposites
(2018-03-23)
Polymers are widely used in our day-to-day lives and we are often oblivious to the fire hazard imposed by these hydrocarbon-based materials. The current study introduces the application of fire retardant nanofillers for ...
Reactivity of ethylene oxide in contact with contaminants
(2009-05-15)
Ethylene oxide (EO) is a very versatile compound with considerable energy in its ring
structure. Its reactions proceed mainly via ring opening and are highly exothermic.
Under some conditions, it is known to undergo a ...
Incorporating salinity considerations in water availability modeling
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
This research focused on expanding the capabilities of the Water Rights Analysis
Package (WRAP) for incorporating salinity considerations in assessments of water
availability. A simulation modeling approach was used to ...
