Local heat transfer distribution in a triangular channel with smooth walls and staggered ejection holes
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Transient liquid crystal experiments have been conducted to determine the distribution of the local heat transfer coefficient in a triangular channel with smooth wails and ejection holes along one or two of the wails. The ...
An industrial hygiene survey of acetonitrile using a miniature quadrupole mass spectrometer
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Charcoal tubes are an industry standard for the collection and concentration of airborne chemicals in the field for later analysis in a laboratory. There are a few drawbacks in using charcoal tubes, including the time delay ...
Comparing functions of natural and created marshes for shorebirds and wading birds
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Shorebirds and wading birds were observed November 1997 to April 1998 and September 1998 to April 1999 to compare functional values of natural and created marshes on the Texas coast. Study locations included Aransas National ...

Timelike reduction and T-duality
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
In the light of recent developments in Superstring Theory, it has become of interest to study Kaluza-Klein dimensional reduction of supergravities not only on spatial manifolds, but also on the time direction. We study a ...
Evaluation of potential kick scenarios in riserless drilling
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
In order to cope with the challenges the petroleum industry is faced with in deepwater exploration today, a Marine Riserless Drilling Joint Industry Project, MRDJIP, was formed. The main task for this project is to develop ...
Steamflood production mechanism in an edge pattern Duri field, Indonesia
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The Duri field, located in Riau Province in Central Sumatra, Indonesia, is currently the site of the largest steamflood project in the world. Roughly half of the field is being flooded in eight project areas. Low oil rate ...
Route to, and control of chaos in multidimensional systems
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The goal of this thesis is to analyze the dynamic behavior of a given nonlinear system and then control the chaotic behavior of the system within some ranges of the parameters. In the first part of this thesis, we study ...
Experimental evaluation of a metal-mesh bearing damper in a high speed test rig
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Metal mesh is a commercially available material used in many applications including seals, heat shields, filters, gaskets, aircraft engine mounts, and vibration absorbers. This material has been tested in the Turbomachinery ...
Variability of hot mix asphalt produced with reclaimed asphalt pavement
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Pavement recycling operations have been used in the United States from the early 1900s to date. These recycling operations have been used for a variety of reasons including solid waste disposal problems, reduction of initial ...
