(Texas A&M University, 2001)This thesis is an evaluation of the United States Army as it existed in the years following its evacuation from Southeast Asia and its transition from a predominantly conscript army to the all-volunteer concept in 1973. ...
-
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1999-12-28)A system for transferring heat to an impingement surface includes a first radial jet reattachment combustion nozzle operable to direct a flame toward the impingement surface and comprising a central longitudinal axis. The ...
-
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2019-07-09)A method includes coating a substrate to provide a flame resistant substrate. In an embodiment, the method includes exposing the substrate to a cationic solution to produce a cationic layer deposited on the substrate. The ...
-
(2016-09-26)Layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly is a simple technique capable of building multifunctional thin films on a variety of surfaces from dilute aqueous solutions. LbL coatings on polyurethane foam have been successful in reducing ...
-
(2020-03-04)Polymeric materials are widely used in every day applications, despite being highly flammable. In an effort to decrease the flammability of these materials, environmentally-benign nanocoatings have been deposited on common ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)An instrument has been developed by Tecogen, Inc., to determine the combustion characteristics of individual burners in multiburner installations. The technology is based on measuring the emissions in the ultraviolet (UV) ...

(2015-11-02)This dissertation documents how the U.S. national perspective toward ballistic nuclear missiles changed dramatically between 1957 and 1967 and how the actions and attitudes of this time brought about long term difficulties ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2015)Recent accidents involving trains carrying flammable liquids (crude oil, ethanol, etc.) and consequent release of these flammable liquids have resulted in the formation of large fires. These fires have caused significant ...
-
(2012-10-19)The existence of flammable aerosols presents a high potential for fire hazards in the process industry. Various industrial fluids, most of which operate at elevated temperatures and pressures, can be atomized when released ...
-
(2013-07-13)Knowledge of flammability limits is essential in the prevention of fire and explosion. There are two limits of flammability, upper flammability limit (UFL) and lower flammability limit (LFL), which define the flammable ...
-
(2018-11-01)Accurate data of flammability limits for flammable gases and vapors are needed to prevent fires and explosions. The flammability limit is the maximum or minimum fuel concentration at which a gas mixture is flammable in a ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, )The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of teacher training in Flanders Interaction Analysis and a token economy on the achievement and behavior of students enrolled in a basic college physics course. It ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2015)This paper identifies the attributes and benefits of a data and metrics-driven management system focused on the process safety design integrity, reliability, and control of process plant flares and pressure relief systems. ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)Two of Shell Canada's refineries have logged about six years total operating experience with modern flare gas recovery facilities. The flare gas recovery systems were designed to recover the normal continuous flare gas ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)Numerous community complaints were received because of what nearby residents perceived as excessive noise from BOP's elevated flares. Representatives from the Baytown Olefins Plant met with community residents to better ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2003-05)Flare losses are typically the largest source of variable losses in a refinery or chemical plant. Since most plant flare systems are complex, there can be many opportunities to reduce costs. Losses to the flare can include ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Investigations were conducted on moisture removal from high moisture freshly harvested rough rice under different flash-drying screen temperatures for different exposure periods. Other observations of effects on shelling, ...
