(2012-07-16)The engineered barrier system is a basic element in the design of repository to isolate high level radioactive waste (HLW). In this system, the clay barrier plays a prominent role in dispersing the heat generated from the ...
-
(2013-11-25)Developing electric vehicles is widely considered as a direct approach to resolve the energy and environmental challenges faced by the human race. As one of the most promising power solutions to electric cars, the lithium ...
-
(2013-08-01)The effect of coupled thermo-poroelastic behavior on hydraulic fracture propagation is of much interest in geothermal- and petroleum-related geomechanics problems such as wellbore stability and hydraulic fracturing as pore ...
-
(2012-02-14)Stress and permeability variations around a wellbore and in the reservoir are of much interest in petroleum and geothermal reservoir development. Water injection causes significant changes in pore pressure, temperature, ...
-
(2013-11-26)Layer-by-layer (LbL) capsules, known for their versatility and smart response to environmental stimuli, have attracted great interest in drug delivery applications. However, achieving a desired drug delivery system with ...

(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2022)Pumps steam tracing is widely used in Oil&Gas industry for critical services in which the process fluid requires a minimum temperature to avoid its crystallization during stand-by. This paper describes the process of ...
-
(2012-10-19)Time- and rate-dependent materials such as polymers, bituminous materials, and soft materials clearly display all four fundamental responses (i.e. viscoelasticity, viscoplasticity, viscodamage, and healing) where contribution ...

(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Used vulcanized rubber tires have caused serious trouble worldwide. Current disposal and recycling methods all have undesirable side effects, and they generally do not produce maximum benefits. A thermocatalytic process ...
-
(2017-08-03)The primary research objective of this study is to advance our understanding of flame suppression in supersonic flows by improving a technique capable of measuring the full thermochemistry in such non-isobaric reacting ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)A computer model is developed to simulate the thermodynamic behavior of residential, desiccant space conditioning systems. Finite difference methods are used to model a rotating desiccant wheel and the results used to ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)This paper describes a methodology for performing a thermodynamic analysis of a process, and it demonstrates how such a study can be useful in identifying areas in the process with the greatest potential for improvement ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2011)This paper presents a thermodynamic analysis of the University of Massachusetts' Combined Heat and Power (CHP) District Heating System. Energy and exergy analyses are performed based on the first and second laws of ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1994)The rotary-vee is a novel and unusual two-stroke cycle internal combustion engine. The rotary-vee engine is unique in that the combustion chamber and port design is very similar to a reciprocating two stroke engine, however, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1995)Biodegradation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) proceeds through several different metabolic pathways. However, the reaction steps which are considered rate-controlling have not been fully determined. Glycolysis and other ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)Historically, a fixed cooling concept is used in the design of evaporative heat rejection systems for process and power plants. In the fixed cooling mode, a plant is designed for maximum output at the design summer wet ...

Thermodynamic and mechanical properties of EPON 862 with curing agent DETDA by molecular simulation (2009-05-15)Fully atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to predict the properties of EPON 862 cross-linked with curing agent DETDA, a potentially useful epoxy resin for future applications of nanocomposites. The ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)The purpose of the work is to employ molecular simulation to further extend the understanding of Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAMs), especially as it relates to three particular applications: organic-inorganic composite ...
-
(2009-05-15)This thesis studies the mechanics which can be associated with asphalt concrete compaction and develops continuum models in a general thermo-mechanical setting which can be used in future work to corroborate experimental ...
