Krishna, Kiran (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Mist or aerosol explosions present a serious hazard to process industries. Heat transfer fluids are widely used in the chemical process industry, are flammable above their flash points, and can cause aerosol explosions. ...
-
Wong, Wun K. (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 ...

Hall, Kenneth R.; Morrison, Gerald L.; Holste, James C. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2000-05-02)The focus of this paper is to introduce a novel method for calibrating natural gas flowmeters. This new method can accommodate very large flow rates and it avoids common problems associated with current techniques for meter ...

Parker, Donald L.; Hall, Kenneth R.; Holste, James C. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989-01-31)The present invention relates to a method of producing micropores having diameters of less than 20 nanometers in straight sides in silicon film. The silicon film produced by this process may be attached to a substrate ...
-
Marin-Rosas, Celia (2009-05-15)A study on middle distillate hydrotreatment zeolite catalysts containing Pt/Pd and/or Ni was performed. The effect of the addition of the corresponding CoMo, CoMoPd, CoMoPtPd and CoMoNi in PdNiPt-zeolite, Pt-zeolite, ...

Atilhan, Mert (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Thermodynamic properties are essential for the design of chemical processes, and they are most useful in the form of an equation of state (EOS). The motivating force of this work is the need for accurate prediction of the ...
-
Al-Meshari, Ali Abdallah (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Since the plus fraction of reservoir fluids has some uncertainty in its molecular weight and critical properties, equation-of-state, EOS, are generally not predictive without tuning its parameters to match experimental ...
