(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2016)Not all pipelines are created equal. Pipelines have different characteristics, and would therefore show different levels of integrity and fail differently. The failure mode and cause of a given pipeline depends on several ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)There is an old adage - nothing is constant but change. This sage observation is especially true in looking at today's energy picture. The energy crisis is dead. Energy problems are no longer the moral equivalent of war. ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Incident databases provide an excellent opportunity to study the repeated situations of incidents in the process industry. The databases give an insight into the situation which led to an incident, and if studied properly ...

Novel Fiber Optic Technology Monitors In-Slot Vibration and Hot Spots in an Air-Cooled Gas Generator (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)Gas-fired and air-cooled generators are subjected to continuous start-stop-load cycles related to thermal/mechanical stresses, and continuous vibration. The machines are designed to run at highly efficient material use and ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)In this paper, a novel integrated frozen soil thermal energy storage and ground-source heat pump (IFSTS&GSHP) system in which the GHE can act as both cold thermal energy storage device and heat exchanger for GSHP is first ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)Measurement of the modal parameters of rotors is of interest to understand the dynamics of rotating systems, validate design models, and assess how operational parameters affect the vibration response. Torsional vibratory ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)HAP (Hazardous Air Pollutant) and VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) thermal emission control devices (ECD) usually require large amounts of energy to operate. They also require large capital investments in heat recovery ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2016)In-situ burning has been considered as a primary spill response option for oil spills since offshore drilling began in the Beaufort Sea (1970s). Since then, many studies and tests have been performed but researchers are ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)The description of a new power cycle, based on the use of a multicomponent working fluid, was published earlier. A thermodynamic analysis of this cycle has demonstrated its superiority over the currently used Rankine ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)Air static pressure set-point or schedule for VAV AHLJ systems is one of the most crucial operational parameters for satisfy lug the building load, maintaining the room comfort level and saving energy costs. This paper ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)The objective of this work is to investigate the Radial Basis Function Neural Networks (RBFN) to identifying and modeling the optimal sizing couples of stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) system using a minimum of input data, These ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)The emphasis on reduction of NOx as a precursor to street level ozone has increased the need for technologies capable of reducing NOx (>95%) to very low levels in major metropolitan areas from a wide variety of sources. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2010)Continuous improvements in the power rating and switching characteristics of power semiconductor devices have enabled the use of power electronics converters in high power variable speed drives (VSDs). These multimegawatt ...
