Brar, Pardeep Singh (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)It has been found through experiments at Southwest Research Institute that temperature differences between the gas and wall of the pipe through which the gas is flowing can greatly influence the gas flow in the pipe line ...
-
Klein, Casey (2012-02-14)A new two phase separator for use in space applications has been invented. It is a vortex separator designed to accommodate gas driven two phase flows of gas and liquid. The work presented here is a first of a kind study ...
-
Mehta, Naitik (2012-07-16)This research compares the leakage and rotordynamic characteristics of a slanted-tooth labyrinth seal to a conventional straight-tooth labyrinth. Detailed results comparing the rotordynamic coefficients and leakage parameters ...
-
Beeny, Bradley Aaron (2017-07-06)The Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) system found in certain boiling water reactor (BWR) power plants is intended to provide make-up coolant to the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) when it is isolated from the power-producing ...
-
Matsuo, Bryce (2013-02-04)There has been an ever-increasing demand for power generation, which is predicted to grow as society becomes more advanced. However, tradition fossil fuels are beginning to deplete, and there is a great necessity for ...
-
Kirkland, Klayton 1965- (2012-08-24)A new centrifugal pump has been devised to handle two-phase flow. However, it requires full scale testing to allow further development. Testing is required to verify performance and to gain information needed to apply this ...
-
Fernandez Alvarez, Juan Jose (2009-05-15)Liquid loading in producing gas wells is the inability of the produced gas to remove produced liquids from the wellbore. A review of existing flow loops worldwide revealed that specialized areas of research such as liquid ...
-
Nolen, Craig R (2015-08-19)Because of the high cost of many of industry’s current multiphase flow meters, there is a desire to develop low-cost solutions to the multiphase flow measurement problem. One such potential solution is an electrical impedance ...
-
Rhoades, Kirk Shawn (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)This thesis describes the implementation of a parametric model of an automotive damper. The goal of this research was to create a damper model to predict accurately damping forces to be used as a design tool for the Formula ...
-
Johnson, Andrew W (2015-08-19)The ever increasing global oil demand has forced the energy industry to provide artificial stimulation to many oil wells to increase their productivity. A common way to do this is to install an electric submersible pump ...
-
Jun, Hyoung Yoll (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)The work presents investigations into the development of a fuel-powered compact SMA actuator system. For the final SMA actuator, the K-alloy SMA strip (0.9 mm x 2.5 mm), actuated by a forced convection heat transfer ...
-
The Development of an Accuracy of a Doppler Global System for One Dimensional Velocity Measurement Karabacak, Mustafa (2014-05-23)The development of a Doppler Global System for one dimensional velocity measurement including both hardware and software development is described. The Doppler Global Velocimetry (DGV) system is a whole field measurement ...
-
Kuester, Matthew Scott (2014-04-18)Surface roughness can affect boundary layer transition by acting as a receptivity mechanism for transient growth. Several experiments have investigated transient growth created by discrete roughness elements; however, very ...
-
Chen, Yiming; Steck, Daniel; Bai, Changrui; Chen, Yu; Morrison, Gerald; Patil, Abhay (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2017)
-
Obidigbo, Ekene R. (2012-07-16)The leakage flow through straight through labyrinth seals with tooth on stator was investigated by performing CFD simulations .ANSYS Fluent is used to simulate the fluid flow through straight through Labyrinth seals. The ...
-
Li, Ke (2016-12-09)Multiphase flow is a common flow when oil and gas are produced from underground, and in the process of hydrocarbon products transportation. Multiphase flow meters have been one of the most important developments in oil and ...
-
Carvajal Diaz, Nicolas 1985- (2012-08-15)The increasing world demand for oil has pushed oil companies to extract it from the ocean at extreme depths. With the increase in depth comes an increase in operation costs, especially the deep-sea equipment changeover ...
-
Park, Sang (2010-01-16)Conventionally the size of the back clearance played a great importance on reducing the axial clearance by utilizing the concept that the decreased axial clearance results in lower axial force acting on the impeller. ...
-
Turhan, Yusuf (2014-04-01)Multiphase twin-screw pumps have become an important alternative to produce the oil and natural gas from wells. In comparison to a conventional multiphase oil production systems, a multiphase twin screw pump provides larger ...
-
Elrod, David Alan (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 ...
