(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)A mathematical formalism is presented for flexural diaphragm fatigue life and reliability evaluation. The use of this formalism enables the diaphragm designer to match a customer's requirements for life and reliability, ...
-
(2014-11-13)The placement of detectors in mitigation systems is a difficult problem usually addressed in the industry via qualitative and semiquantative approaches. Simplifications are used to circumvent difficulties regarding problem ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)The petrochemical industry has long recognized that electrical and mechanical energy can be generated as a by-product of its process steam requirements. Years ago, some petrochemical plants generated all of their own ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)The ethylene plant in DuPont's major petrochemical complex in Orange, Texas was designed and built in the late 1960s, using the latest proven technology of that period. From plant startup in 1967 to 1981, there were ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)With the increased emphasis on improved combustion control and the availability of accurate and reliable multi-parameter combustion instrumentation, an analytical technique is needed to supplant the previous incomplete ...

Maximizing the Benefit of Early-Stage CFD Ventilation Analyses to Reduce Fire and Explosion Hazards (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2016)One of the most significant hazards faced by offshore platforms, FLNGs, and chemical facilities is the risk of explosions resulting from the ignition of flammable clouds due to an unintentional release (leak). Natural ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)Side channel pumps provide high pressure at relatively low flow rates. This comes along with a quite low specific speed and thus with the known disadvantage of a quite poor maximum efficiency. This paper describes the ...

-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)Shaded interior mass walls in a hot-humid climate can be thermally grounded to an earth heat sink under an insulated structure. The mean radiant temperature (MRT) of the shaded and thermally grounded interior mass walls ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-05)An effective energy performance benchmarking should include a consideration of production rate, product specifications, feedstock mix, and process type, in addition to thermodynamics and economics. Unfortunately, there ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1981)Determining brake horsepower by means other than calculations of compressor performance for compression of hydrocarbon mixtures is usually the more accurate procedure for field testing. Various means of determining this ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)Four occupied homes near Dallas, Texas were monitored to compare heating and cooling energy use. Two homes were built with typical wood frame construction, the other two with insulated concrete form (ICF) construction. Remote ...

-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)Upstream production of natural gas is commonly a mixture of both liquid and gas hydrocarbons that is separated before boosting the gas or liquid flows to higher pressure for transport. The gas-liquid mixture is known to ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)A 15-year old, 3-ton single package air-to-air heat pump was tested in laboratory environmental chambers simulating indoor and outdoor conditions. After documenting initial performance, the unit was retrofitted with a ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1991-05)Infiltration is customarily assumed to increase the heating and cooling load of a building by an amount equal to the mass flow rate of the infiltration times the enthalpy difference between the inside and outside air - ...
