A Hydrological Model of Harrington Sound, Bermuda and its Surrounding Cave Systems
(2013-04-23)Harrington Sound, located in east central Bermuda, is almost entirely enclosed by land except for a 26.4 m wide channel called Flatts Inlet. This limited connection to the open ocean restricts Harrington Sound’s tides, ... -
Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler Model for Predicting Emission Levels of Tire Fuel using Base Case of Lignite Fuel
(2015-08-05)Government regulations on emission standards and constantly fluctuating fuel availability and prices have led to the need of more readily usable and available models for power generating combustors. A common, versatile, ... -
Correlating the Effects of AP Particle Size and Concentration on AP/HTPB Composite Propellant Burning Rates
(2017-04-27)The burning rates of IPDI-cured AP/HTPB propellants with a standard curing ratio were analyzed. It is well known that the particle size of AP as well as their concentration greatly affects the burning rate, yet there exists ... -
Essays on Network Formation
(2012-10-19)This dissertation contains two essays which examine the roles that individual incentives, competition, and information play in network formation. In the first essay, I examine a model in which two competing groups offer ... -
Incoporating rubble mound jetties in elliptic harbor wave models
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Simulation models based on the elliptic mild or steep slope wave equation are frequently used to estimate wave properties needed for the engineering calculations of harbors. To increase the practical applicability of such ... -
Investigating Rainwater Harvesting as a Stormwater Best Management Practice and as a Function of Irrigation Water Use
(2012-02-14)Stormwater runoff has negative impacts on water resources, human health and environment. In this research the effectiveness of Rain Water Harvesting (RWH) systems is examined as a stormwater Best Management Practice (BMP). ... -
Knowledge Management Systems in Higher Education Institutions in Thailand: A Holistic Model of Enablers, Processes, and Outcomes
(2015-12-04)Higher education institutions (HEIs) have applied knowledge management (KM) to leverage organizational knowledge in support of their institutional achievements. HEIs need a holistic conceptualization of how KM processes ... -
Modeling of ECM Controlled Series Fan-powered VAV Terminal Units
(2011-10-21)Semi-empirical models for series fan-powered variable air volume terminal units (FPTUs) were developed based on models of the primary, plenum, fan airflow and the fan power consumption. The experimental setups and test ... -
A Parametric Model of the Portuguese Nau
(2012-02-14)This interdisciplinary research project combines the fields of nautical archaeology and computer visualization in order to create an interactive virtual reconstruction of a Portuguese nau. Information about the shipbuilding ... -
Simulation Approach Selection in Reservoir Management
(2016-11-30)Rapid evolution of technologies in petroleum industry in last decades has significantly improved our abilities in hydrocarbon reservoirs development. The number and complexity of tasks to be solved by reservoir engineers ... -
Simulations of Carbon Dynamics and Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Bioenergy Sorghum Production Systems in Texas
(2017-12-11)Bioenergy sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench.] is a promising biofuel crop to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, optimum field management practices for its production in different regions and the effects ...
