An experimental investigation of single and multiple pass high temperature, high pressure paper drying
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The primary drying process used in the paper industry is conventional drying which employs heated, rotating cylinders to evaporate moisture from the paper. One process which may improve energy efficiency is the use of ...
Measurements of electrical and mechanical properties of aluminum composite cryoconductors
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The results of annealing on the residual resistance ratio (RRR) of five (5) composite aluminum cryoconductor wires and mechanical properties on fifteen (15) aluminum cryoconductor wires are presented. The independent ...
An Improved Procedure for Developing a Calibrated Hourly Simulation Model of an Electrically Heated and Cooled Commercial Building
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
With the increased use of building energy simulation programs, calibration of simulated data to measured data has been recognized as an important factor in substantiating how well the model fits a real building. Model ...
A new three-control-volume theory for circumferentially-grooved liquid seals
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Circumferentially-grooved seals are used in centrifugal pumps to reduce leakage flow. Florjancic (1990) developed an analysis using a partition of the seal into three control volumes, bulk-flow theory and Hirs' lubrication ...
Effects of the primary passage on the flow through the secondary passage of a shrouded-impeller pump
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
A method for determining the turbulent flow through the leakage passage in rotating machinery has been enhanced to allow for the modeling of complex multiplyconnected flow domains such as that of the combined primary and ...
Effect of additives on the reduction of nitrogen oxides using cyanuric acid
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The addition of cyanuric acid to hot exhaust flows has been shown in the past to selectively remove much of the nitric oxide (NO) emitted from combustion sources. Known as the RapreNOx process, this approach to pollution ...
Large-scale experimental investigation of flow characteristics in labyrinth seal geometries
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
order to determine the flow characteristics and leakage resistance properties of advanced labyrinth seals. A unique water test facility is used to acquire leakage resistance measurements for two-dimensional, planar models ...
Ultrasonic measurement of the residual stresses in patch welded steel plates
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
This study begins with a review of the nature and origins of residual stresses and the techniques currently used to measure these stresses, both destructive and nondestructive. The theory of ultrasonic stress measurement, ...
