Experimental study of the residual stress-induced self-assembly of MEMS structures during deposition (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)The possibility of using residual stresses favorably as a means of self-assembling MEMS during material deposition is experimentally investigated. Two atomic force microscope cantilevers are placed in contact at their free ...
-
(2013-02-06)The RichtmyerMeshkov instability (RMI) is a hydrodynamic instability resulting from an impulsive acceleration of a density gradient. This instability was first described in the theoretical work of Richtmyer [2], and later ...

(2017-11-01)This research documents the development of a 2-phase annular-seal stand (2PASS) in the Turbomachinery Laboratory at Texas A&M University to investigate the static and dynamic characteristics of annular seals operating under ...
-
(2018-03-02)Wet-gas compression has become an important technology to focus on, requiring a concentrated effort to predict the behavior of compressors when exposed to wet gas conditions. The compressor’s stability is highly influenced ...
-
(2018-03-05)The thesis presents measured results for rotordynamic coefficients and leakage of a long annular smooth seal tested with a mixture of silicone oil and air. Due to the difficulties in (a) making 2-phase homogeneous mixtures ...
-
(2012-07-16)An experimental activity was performed to observe and study the effects of graphite dispersion and deposition on thermal hydraulic phenomena in a Reactor Cavity Cooling System (RCCS). The small scale RCCS experimental ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2003)Current geologic thinking is that there are two, and only two, distinct types of brittle fractures, joints and shear fractures (faults). For over half a century, it has been debated that a third type of fracture, referred ...
-
(2015-11-25)Turbulent mixing of parallel jet flows has broad engineering applications. For example, in Gen IV conceptual nuclear reactors, high-temperature flows mix in the lower plenum before entering the secondary cooling system. ...

(2014-05-01)An experimental analysis was conducted on a single circular tube heat exchanger using supercritical carbon dioxide as the working fluid. The heat exchanger was operated in two different orientations: vertically upward and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1998)This research constitutes part of phase II of a joint industry project aimed at investigating the feasibility of sealing off water and gas producing zones in a horizontal well. This research is a follow-up from an earlier ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1998)The purpose of this study is to apply three-Micrographics. dimensional particle image velocimetry (PlV) technique to study bubble collapse phenomenon. Simultaneous stereoscopic views of the tracer-seeded flow were recorded ...
-
(2021-04-06)The helical coil heat exchanger (HCHX) is a geometrically complex tube and shell heat exchanger design that is preferred over straight tube bundles due to its increase in heat transfer efficiency, compact design, and thermal ...
-
(2014-07-31)Along with increasing advances in robotic technologies, there are now significant efforts under way to improve the quality of life especially those with physical disabilities or impairments. Control of such medical ...
-
(2019-04-03). Friction welding is a solid state joining process in which the frictional heat and plastic deformation due to lateral force contributes to diffusion bond formed between the two workpieces in relative motion while in ...
-
(2011-10-21)A new measurement technique called fiber optic reflectometer (FOR) was developed to investigate multiphase flows. The principle and setup of the FOR technique were introduced and applied to various experiments. Based on ...
