The Effects of Expansion Devices on the Transient Response Characteristics of the Air-Source Heat Pump during the Reverse Dycle Defrost
(Texas A&M University, 1988)
Not available
Effects of operating conditions on a heat transfer fluid aerosol
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Heat transfer fluids (HTFs) are extensively used in the chemical process industry and are available in wide ranges of properties. Aside from their importance, Factory Mutual Engineering and Research has reported 54 fires ...
A Methdology for Baselining the Energy Use at Large Campus Utility Plants for the Purpose of Measuring Energy Savings from Energy Conservation Retrofits
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The development of the energy services industry and the implementation of energy savings retrofits by energy services companies has increased the focus on the performance of energy saving retrofits. Energy savings measurement, ...
A Decision Support System for chemical incident information
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Decision Support Systems (DSS) find extensive applications in business enabling industry managers to make intelligent risk decisions. Although widely used in business applications, the application of DSS to Process Safety ...
A Methodology for In-Situ Calibration of Steam Boiler Instrumentation
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
This thesis presents a broadly useful diagnostic methodology to engineers and plant managers for finding the in-situ operating characteristics of power plant boilers when metered data is either missing or obviously erroneous. ...
Development of Empirical Temperature and Humidity-Based Degraded-Condition Indicators for Low-Tonnage Air Conditioners
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
A split-system direct-expansion air conditioner was used to empirically determine temperature and return-air humidity indicators that could detect performance degradation resulting from degraded conditions. The air conditioner ...
Chemical accident databases: what they tell us and how they can be improved to establish national safety goals
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The objectives of this research are to examine and critique eight chemical accident databases, document any trends in accident occurrences, develop a strategy for improving current databases, and to establish national ...
Study of Cubic Splines and Fourier Series as Interpolation Techniques for Filling in Short Periods of Missing Building Energy Use and Weather Data
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
To define a single technique that can be reliably used for evaluation of missing data in time series of weather and building energy use data is a complex task. This thesis evaluates the application of spline and Fourier ...
The Effect of Alternate Defrost Strategies on the Reverse-Cycle Defrost of an Air-Source Heat Pump
(Texas A&M University, 1988)
Not available
Transportation risk assessment for ethanol transport
(2009-05-15)
This research is aimed at assessing the quantitative risks involved with an ethanol
pipeline. Pipelines that run from the Midwest, where the vast majority of ethanol is
produced, to the target areas where reformulated ...
