Design And Application Of Squeeze Film Dampers In Rotating Machinery.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
There are common misconceptions and occasional misapplications associated with squeeze film dampers. The authors have worked for more than 25 years researching, experimenting, and applying this subject matter to all types ...
Monthly Variable-based Degree Day Template: A Spreadsheet Procedure Calculating a 3 Parameter Change-point Model for Residential or Commercial Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1996)
This report presents a spreadsheet procedure for calculating a variable-based degree day or three parameter change-point models using monthly utility billing data and coincident weather data. These models were used to model ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1996)
This report has been prepared for the United States Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratories (CERL) located at Champaign, IL. The report describes the work performed by the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) of ...
Effect of a 90° Elbow on the Accuracy of an Insertion Flowmeter, Results and Comparisons for 4 and 6 in. Diameter PVC Pipe
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Thermal energy consumption in buildings with
chilled or hot water distribution systems is often
monitored through the use of some type of flow
metering device. These flowmeters can be fixed types,
such as venturis or ...
Impacts of Static Pressure Set Level on the HVAC Energy Consumption and Indoor Conditions
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Air static pressure must be maintained at a
certain level leaving the air-handing unit (AHU) to
force a suitable amount of air through the terminal
boxes. However, an excessive static pressure level is
often used due to ( ...
Engitectural Design
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Traditionally, Architecture and Engineering have been disciplines practiced exclusive of one another's input and
collaboration. This seemingly awkward custom is due in part to tradition and to the two distinct perspectives ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Industry trends toward stringent indoor air
quality codes, spearheaded by ASHRAE 62-89:
Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality,
present four challenges to the building industry in
hot and humid climates:
1. Infusion ...
Monitored Energy Use Patterns in Low-Income Housing in a Hot and Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
The Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) is
metering energy use in two Habitat for Humanity
developments. The objective is to understand how
