(2012-10-19)The scale of the energy business today and a favorable and promising economic environment for the production of natural gas, requires study of the thermophysical behavior of fluids: sophisticated experimentation yielding ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)A parametric study of the forces governing the liquid vapor interface was performed for the purpose of determining the capillary priming characteristics of Grumman's dual passage, monogroove heat pipe when subjected to ...
-
(2009-05-15)This work assesses if a plausible theoretical thermo-chemical scheme can be conceived of, that is capable of extracting work from chemical reactants which can be compared with work produced by a fuel cell, when both processes ...
-
(2021-07-05)The nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) of the 1918 Spanish influenza A virus hijacks N-terminal Src-homology 3 (nSH3) domain of host’s cellular CrkII with exceptionally high affinity through its proline-rich motif (PRM NS1). ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)This dissertation intends to provide new tuning techniques for several simple cubic equations of state (EOS) to improve their accuracy in calculating fluid phase equilibrium. It also provides graphical tools to predict ...
-
(2009-06-02)This study was directed at examining the effects of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), water/N2/CO2 injections and oxygen enrichment on availability destroyed because of combustion in simple systems like those of constant ...
-
(2017-05-09)he energy for sustaining life is released through the oxidation of glucose, fats, and proteins. A part of the energy released within each cell is stored as chemical energy of Adenosine Tri- Phosphate molecules, which is ...
-
(2009-05-15)Conventional combustion processes are known to be highly irreversible processes. The potential to obtain useful work from the fuel is degraded during the combustion process. For example, for a reciprocating internal ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)A Burnett apparatus was used to obtain accurate P-(rho)-T data of water - natural gas systems over a pressure range of 5 to 2450 psia. Experimental data were obtained for three wet, sweet natural gas mixtures containing ...
-
(2009-06-02)Highly accurate density data is required for engineering calculations to make property estimations in natural gas custody transfer through pipelines. It is also essential to have accurate pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Thermodynamic properties are essential for the design of chemical processes, and they are most useful in the form of an equation of state (EOS). The motivating force of this work is the need for accurate prediction of the ...

(2017-08-16)The petrochemical industry requires highly accurate equations of state (EoS) to calculate thermodynamic properties such as densities and calorific properties. However, the accuracy of an EoS depends upon the accuracy of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Specific heat measurements have been made on pressed pellet samples of highly disordered bis(tetrathiotetracene) triiodide (TTT2I3) ln the temperature range 20-100 K. A specific heat anomaly in the form of a broad bump is ...
-
(2012-07-16)The estimation of gas hydrate volume in closed systems such as pipelines during shut-in time has a great industrial importance. A method is presented to estimate the volume of formed or decomposed gas hydrate in closed ...
-
(2020-07-15)This work seeks to improve the current ability to model NOₓ emissions from integral compressor engines that are commonly used in the natural gas industry. This improved understanding will be able to inform the development ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)The thermodynamic tables of ethylene and water were revised in the critical region by using a new isochoric equation of state. The new tables are consistent with the Hall-Eubank formulation and are compatible with recent ...
-
(2010-10-12)Understanding protein stability and folding is of central importance in chemistry, biology, and medicine. Despite its importance, a molecular level understanding of protein stability still remains illusive due to the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)A Burnett-Isochoric apparatus was used to obtain precise, experimental, vapor-phase P-ρ-T data for pure water and for mixtures of 2%, 5%, 10%, 25%, and 50% water in carbon dioxide for temperatures from 298.15 K to 498.15 ...
