(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1969)A program was conducted to develop and instrumentation system to be used for obtaining accurate measurements of the interference fringe spacing in scattered light photoelasticity. To circumvent difficulties in modulating ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)Accuracy improvement in the processes of robot calibration depends heavily on the models that represent the robots. This dissertation is about the development and evaluation of the so-called general model. Unlike any ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)A 3-D Laser Doppler anemometry system has been developed. This system was specifically developed to make measurements very close to solid surfaces (within .020 mm) in water. This system will allow measurement of mean ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)An engine cycle simulation for a coal-fueled internal combustion, reciprocating engine was developed. The primary objective of this work was to develop the simulation for evaluating the viability of coal fuels for engines. ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)A transient heat and mass transfer model was developed to predict ceiling heat gain/loss through the attic space in residences and to accurately estimate savings in cooling and heating loads produced by the use of radiant ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2002)Two-color laser induced fluorescence (LIF) diagnostics techniques were used to map the temperature distribution of fluid moving through a micro-channel. The fluid (de-ionized water) was pumped through a closed-loop system ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)New one-dimensional methods of axial compressor and turbine design and off-design performance calculations are presented. The calculations may be carried out at various levels of complexity, depending on the available ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)This dissertation develops Fourier series and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) approaches to model hourly energy use in commercial buildings and illustrates application to data-screening. The procedure for modeling hourly ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)The feasibility of igniting lean air-fuel mixture with a torch formed by injecting a stoichiometric mixture over a hot surface near the end of the compression stroke is explored and proved. Several variables affecting the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)One of the main objectives of this work is to develop a new dynamic analysis for liquid annular seals with arbitrary profile and analyze a general distorted interstage seal of the Space Shuttle Main Engine High Pressure ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1967)Echelon control has as its goal the control of a single variable through the interaction of a collection of controllers. The objective is that the controllers will work together in a manner such that each has a designated ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)The present work is concerned with developing a discretized analytical model to investigate the effect of a backfill on the performance of a vertical U-tube ground-coupled heat pump. This work involves the development of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)The effect of fluid inertia on the force response of Squeeze Film Dampers (SFD) is a subject of great importance since most existent damper applications operate with Reynolds numbers in the range of one to ten. For small ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)This dissertation details an experimental investigation of the influence of high mainstream turbulence on leading edge film cooling heat transfer. High mainstream turbulence was produced by a bar grid (Tu = 3.3-5.1%), a ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1965)An experimental investigation was made of the effects of transverse vibratory motion on the heat transfer coefficient on a heated, vertical flat plate. A study was made of the effects of both amplitude and frequency. It ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1973)This research is a theoretical investigation of the transient operation of a fluid-mechanical device known as a pumping ring. The purpose of this device is to pump small amounts of fluid from a lower to a higher pressure ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)Active vibration isolation systems can generally offer substantial improvements in dynamic performance. However, their use has been limited due to the burden of cost of their implementation and operation. The cost of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)The Mach number definition and boundary conditions in Nelson's nominally-centered, annular gas seal analysis are revised. A method is described for determining the wall shear stress characteristics of an annular gas seal ...
