(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)Simulation programs are widely used in the design of heating and cooling devices. However, modeling of the whole building with simulation programs is exceptional at least in Finland. We have built and utilized whole building ...
-
(2020-08-28)The objective of this research is to develop a complete cyber topology model of the Texas 2000- bus synthetic grid, and to study the data flow through utility companies to defend their networks from cyber-attacks. Specifically, ...

(Mosbacher Institute for Trade, Economics & Public Policy, 2014-11)Not only should the US lift its ban on exporting oil and natural gas in light of today’s economic and political climate, but it was wrong to ever ban such exports in the first place. The US should cease to view its energy ...
-
(2012-12-07)Plasma flow physics in magnetic nozzles must be clearly understood for optimal design of plasma propulsion devices. Toward that end, in this thesis we: i) perform an extensive literature survey of magnetic nozzle physics, ...
-
(2010-10-12)The present work examines the potential impact of changes in climatic conditions on the long-term functioning of nuclear power plants. Nuclear power plants are potentially susceptible to changes both in acute risks, such ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Biomass conversion into forms of energy is receiving current attention because of environmental, energy and agricultural concerns. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the environmental, energy, economic, and technological ...
-
(2016-12-08)Biogenic ethanol from corn has proven effective as an oxygenate that improves gasoline engine performance. However, the US Renewable Fuel Portfolio legislation was written before shale gas became a huge technically recoverable ...

(2012-04-26)Understanding energy barriers involved in nucleating and annihilating magnetic vortices in nanodots is important for magnetic memories and nano-oscillators. We used a “rigid-vortex approximation'' and micromagnetic approach ...
-
(2015-10-02)This study examines the mineralogical and chemical composition of the Middle Eocene Moseley unit, a bed within the upper portion of the Stone City Member of the Crockett Formation. The Stone City Member is exposed along ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)The aim of the paper is to illustrate the possibilities offered by modelassisted commissioning in residential buildings. Three examples are considered: two small detached houses and a large multi-storey dwelling building. A ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Understanding the elastic-plastic response of polycrystalline materials is an extremely difficult task. A polycrystalline material consists of a large number of crystals having different orientations. On its own, each ...
-
(2013-11-27)The goal of this research was to develop a methodology to collect inventory estimates for the analysis and characterization of used fuel in the United States. To accomplish this, the Spent Fuel Database (SFD) was created. ...
-
(2016-07-27)Flywheel energy storage (FES) systems have recently gained momentum in the energy storage industry as a viable alternative to conventional lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries because they have superior energy density, ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)A method, based on simulation models, for active functional tests and optimization of coil energy recovery loop systems in Air Handling Units (AHUs) have been developed and a first version implemented in the program ...
-
(2023-05-04)Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) are the most precise distance indicators available for cosmological studies. Utilizing this characteristic in analysis led to the discovery of dark energy and the accelerated expansion of the ...
-
(Private Enterprise Research Center, Texas A&M University; Texas A&M University. Library, 2022-09-26)Here, the authors propose the benefits of instituting a Sovereign Mexican Fund (SMF), which emulates the Alaska Trust Fund, in order to reconcile the capital investment needs of the energy sector in Mexico with the strong ...
-
(2014-09-21)In recent years, the growth of technology has caused the world energy consumption to skyrocket due to an increase in demand and an increase in available energy. Small renewable energy systems are often targeted for developing ...
-
(2014-08-01)Quantitative empirical analysis has been used in several works, over the past decade or so, to identify correlates of states motivation for pursuing military nuclear technology. Nelson and Sprecher used such methodology ...
