Role of viscosity in the accurate prediction of source-terms for high molecular weight substances
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This study shows that using better material property predictions results in better source-term modeling for high molecular weight substances. Viscosity, density, and enthalpy are used as a function of process variables, ...
Dense gas dispersion modeling for aqueous releases
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Production, transportation, and storage of hazardous chemicals represent potential risks to the environment, the public, and the producers themselves. The release to the atmosphere of materials that may form mixtures denser ...
The Research and Development of Damage Tolerant Carbon Fiber Composites
(Texas A&M University, 1999-12)
This record of study takes a firsthand look at corporate research and development efforts to improve the damage tolerance of two unique composite materials used in high performance aerospace applications. The professional ...
A Real Time Self-Tuning Algorithm for PI Control of the Heating and Cooling Coils in Buildings
(Texas A&M University, 1999-08)
Proportional and Integral (PI) controllers are used widely in HVAC applications. It is necessary to choose suitable values for PI gains for PI control of the heating and cooling coils in buildings. Consequently, suitable ...
An Inverse BIN Methodology to Measure the Savings from Energy Conservation Retrofits in Commercial Buildings
(Texas A&M University, 1999-05)
This dissertation provides a simple yet powerful approach, the fully layered inverse bin method, to baseline hourly energy use in commercial buildings and illustrates the application through carefully ...
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, ...
