(2011-08-08)The design of passive heat removal systems is one of the main concerns for the modular Very High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactors (VHTR) vessel cavity. The Reactor Cavity Cooling System (RCCS) is an important heat removal ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)In this thesis, turbulent forced convective heat transfer downstream of blockages with elongated holes in a rectangular channel was studied. The rectangular channel has a width-to-height ratio of 12:1. The blockages have the ...
-
(2011-08-03)Gas turbine blade/vane cooling is obtained by circulating the high pressure air from compressor to the internal cooling passage of the blade/vane. Heat transfer and cooling effect in the rotating blade is highly affected ...
-
(2023-02-08)Although Hurricanes Harvey (2017) and Nicholas (2021) both rapidly intensified before making landfall in the populous and highly convective region of southeast Texas, the tropical systems exhibited different lightning-pr ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)An increase in the amount of lightning and rainfall over the Houston area, compared to the surrounding rural areas, has been well documented in previous studies. The placement of a Shared Mobile Atmospheric Research and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)The effects on heat transfer in a two-dimensional parallel plate channel with sixteen porous baffles in a staggered arrangement with a uniform heat flux heating applied to the top and bottom walls has been numerically ...
-
(2013-07-05)The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), a tropical phenomenon that exists on the time scale of 30-90 days, commonly initiates over the Indian Ocean and slowly propagates into the western Pacific as a series of convective ...
-
(2016-09-14)Mass-exchange across the tropopause can have a substantial impact on the composition, radiation, and chemistry of the Upper Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere (UTLS). Convection that penetrates the tropopause (overshooting ...
-
(2009-05-15)Five severe convective cells over North Texas from three separate dates were examined to determine what three dimensional, or “total” lightning data can add to the understanding of a convective cell’s intensity, propagation, ...
