Modeling of bubbly and slug flow behavior under microgravity conditions
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Two-phase flow systems for space applications have advantages over single-phase flow systems. Due to increased heat transfer coefficients, they can achieve the same energy management as single-phase systems with lower mass, ...
Compositional changes in heavy oil steamflood simulators
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The numerical simulation of heavy oil steamfloods has generally been conducted assuming that the oil is non-volatile. Reservoir simulation has traditionally ignored compositional effect s due to heat and steam and assumed ...
An investigation of the relationship between total and stopped delay at signalized intersections
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
This thesis investigated the relationship between total delay and stopped delay at signalized intersections. As the 1.3 value used in the 1985 HCM was obtained empirically, an analytical model was developed to account for ...
Feeding and nutritional ecology of the sea urchins Echinometra lucunter (Linnaeus, 1758) and Arbacia punctulata (Lamarck, 1816) Echinodermata: Echinoidea): the importance of animal foods
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Analysis of gut contents of Echinometra lucunter and Arbacia punctulata revealed that A. punctulata consumes significantly greater amounts of animal material--barnacles, mollusks, and bryozoans--than E. lucunter. Where ...
Correlation of mechanical viscoelastic properties to microstructure of equine cortical bone tissue
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) has long been used as a method of determining viscoelastic mechanical properties of polymeric materials. More recently, DMA has been used for characterizing the fiber/matrix interface in ...
A stochastic approach to risk assessment of hazardous waste sites
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
A deterministic risk assessment model was evaluated for the variability in its input parameters, Information on these variables was gathered to characterize the variability. Statistical distributions were assigned to the ...
Treatment methods for spent decontamination electrolyte produced in the ABB Atom electrochemical decontamination process ELDECON
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
One of ABB Atom's methods under development, ELDECON, is an electrochemical process for decontamination of components used in nuclear power plants. ELDECON removes radioactive species while producing small amounts of waste. ...
A study of the cloud-to-ground lightning characteristics during the 21-23 November 1992 widespread severe weather outbreak
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
A synoptic low pressure system developed in Texas on 21 November 1992 and propagated to the Great Lakes region on 23 November 1992. Over 90 tornadoes were spawned throughout the Southeast and parts of the Ohio River Valley. ...
Fuel NOx pollution production during the combustion of a low caloric value fuel gas
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The objective of this investigation is to identify and qualify physical mechanisms and parameters that affect the combustion of low caloric value fuel gases (LCVG) and the formation of NO, pollutants produced from fuel ...
An analytical investigation of primary zone combustion temperatures and NOx production for turbulent jet flames using low-BTU fuels
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The objective of this research project was to identify and determine the effect of jet burner operating variables that influence combustion of low-BTU gases. This was done by simulating the combustion of a low-BTU fuel in ...
