(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1975)Equations specifying the bending moments which cause yielding of pipe sections loaded by internal pressure and axial force are developed. These expressions are based upon the von Mises yield criterion and include the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)With growing realization of the limitations of available energy resources, systems requiring low energy are of considerable interest at the present time. Experimental and field test results show that indirect evaporative ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)This dissertation presents a cost and performance model of manufacturing systems used in the printed wiring assembly (PWA) industry. The model is evaluated in the context of the requirements of a "World Class" manufacturing ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)An analytical model for describing the heat transfer from the wall of a capillary groove to the fluid in the groove has been developed. This model couples a one-dimensional conduction model in the wall to the surface heat ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1975)This dissertation deals with the blade loading analysis of a centrifugal impeller using viscous effects. The goal was to study theoretically the flow in such an impeller retaining as many terms as possible. The only major ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)Experimental work on the nucleate pool boiling of propanol-2 at a pressure -12.25 psig has been conducted. The locations of the bubble nucleation sites, the site density, and the nucleation frequency were studied. These ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)Stirling engines are potentially the most efficient converters of thermal energy to mechanical work that are manufacturable. In addition to its high efficiency capability, it also operates relatively cleanly, quietly, and ...
-
(2022-07-06)A relief cutting or kerfing is a practical method to create flexible freeform surfaces from relatively stiff materials and thick panels, such as woods and metals. Kerf panels are constructed by an arrangement of kerf unit ...
-
(2012-10-19)Design is an uncertain human activity involving decisions with uncertain outcomes. Sources of uncertainty in product design include uncertainty in modeling methods, market preferences, and performance levels of subsystem ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1963)
-
The development of a low velocity wind tunnel with instrumentation for boundary layer investigations (Texas A&M University, 1958)
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1962)No Abstract
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1975)The current upsurge in offshore drilling for oil and gas and new deep water terminals for the supertankers have created a demand for deep water pipelines. These pipelines are being laid in deeper and more hostile waters ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, )A method is presented which allows the simulation of the transient and steady state response of a balanced, flexible shaft supported by a realistic thermohydrodynamic journal bearing system. The analytical model is an ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1961)Most models concerning automobile insurance regulations lack the ability to empirically determine the relation between regulated and competitive insurance prices. The model developed in this study, by introducing a regulated ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)Methane gas is a highly prized fuel in the world. However, the low burning velocity and instability of a flame creates some problems for the burning of natural gas. By applying an electric field, a means may be provided ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)Theoretical and experimental investigations of stress and displacement distributions in cracked solids are described. The effect of damaged material in the small highly stressed zone around a crack tip on maximum shear ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)An approximately spherical implosive wave is developed by the abutting and ignition of two shaped charge explosive cones. The spherical implosive wave impinges on a spherical powdered metal specimen compressing the powdered ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2008-05)This report presents the design, construction, and operation of a 100% solar-powered house from an engineering perspective. This includes energy simulation results, selection of systems, design of systems, assembly of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)In situ gasification of lignite can provide an alternate source of energy. The Petroleum Engineering and Mechanical Engineering Departments at Texas A&M University, and the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, the ...
