An experimental study of gas-fired infrared drying of paper
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The concept of using an infrared (IR) source for drying proposes is not a new one, yet the application of this technology in the paper industry has been slow to gain acceptance. Recent advances in the design, construction, ...
Application of the Multiphase Particle-In-Cell (MP-PIC) method to sedimentation of a polydisperse suspension
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Analytical and computational methods have been used to predict the sedimentation velocity of multisized spherically shape particles in binary and tertiary suspensions. Six previously published experimental data were used ...
Finite element analysis of a coiled composite tubular
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This study presents the design and stress analysis of a composite tubular that can be coiled onto large spools for ease of storage and installation on offshore platforms. The tube is analyzed under working pressure and ...
Rehabilitating missing energy use and weather data when determining retrofit energy savings in commercial buildings
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This thesis evaluates four methods for rehabilitating short periods of missing data. Single variable regression, polynomial models, Lagrange interpolation, and linear interpolation models are developed, demonstrated, and ...
Imbalance response of a rotor supported on a floating ring fluid film bearing
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Turbochargers are commonly used to increase the power output and efficiency of internal combustion automotive engines. Conventional turbocharger rotors are usually supported on floating ring journal bearings (FRBs) running ...
Method of mechanism synthesis by hybrid genetic algorithm
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The path synthesis problem for mechanical linkages still presents problems for engineers, although it has been examined for more than two centuries. This research approached the design problem as one of creating a ...
