Kim, Seongchan (2009-06-02)In 2001, the Texas State Senate passed Senate Bill 5 to reduce ozone levels by encouraging the reduction of emissions of NOx that were not regulated by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, including point ...
-
Brar, Pardeep Singh (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)It has been found through experiments at Southwest Research Institute that temperature differences between the gas and wall of the pipe through which the gas is flowing can greatly influence the gas flow in the pipe line ...
-
Nelson, Ian Carl (2009-05-15)Colloidal solvents, containing dispersed nanometer (~1-100 nm) sized particles, are categorized as nanofluids. With the growing heat loads in engineering systems that exceed the current technological limits, nanofluids are ...
-
Seo, Youngjin (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Tests were conducted to characterize mixing in a square and a rectangular duct with respect to suitability for single point sampling of contaminants. Several configurations, such as a straight duct with unidirectional flow ...
-
Butler, Matthew (2011-08-08)The plasma abatement system co-developed by Rf Environmental, Inc. and Texas A & M University has been effective at destroying the global warming gases CF4 and C4F8. The destruction of greenhouse gases, specifically ...
-
Davis, Michael A. (2011-10-21)Single Duct Variable Air Volume (SDVAV) systems use series and parallel Fan Powered Terminal Units to control the air flow in conditioned spaces. This research developed a laboratory verified model of SDVAV systems that ...
-
Furr, James C., Jr (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Empirical models of airflow output and power consumption were developed for series and parallel fan powered variable air volume terminal units at typical design pressure conditions. A testing procedure and experimental ...
-
Lin, Guanjing (2012-12-07)Commercial building owners spent $167 billion for energy in 2006. Building commissioning services have proven to be successful in saving building energy consumption. However, the optimal energy performance obtained by ...
-
Nelson, Ian 1982- (2012-11-15)This dissertation presents the findings of a study to quantify the effect of heat source configurations on the performance of passive chilled beams. Experiments in a thermally controlled test room were conducted using ...
-
Lange, Jennifer Marie (Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)The EPA press release dated February 23, 2004 states that the three Buckeye Egg Farm facilities had the potential to emit more than a combined total of 1850 tons per year of particulate matter (PM). This number was based ...
-
Suryanarayanan, Arun (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)In any rotating machinery, the geometry of the seal influences the extent of systemleakage. The path taken by the flow in the clearance volume is dependent on the seal and rotor profile. The clearance between a new ...
-
Snyder, Loren E (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)An investigation was conducted to determine the feasibility of using the technique of ultrasonic nebulization of water into the anode gas stream for evaporative cooling of a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell. The ...
-
Chang, Young Joon (2011-08-08)Stability is a critical issue in gain-scheduled control problems in that the closed loop system may not be stable during the transitions between operating conditions despite guarantees that the gain-scheduled controller ...
-
Reyes, Matthew David (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Upon the enactment by the United States Congress of the 1992 Energy Policy Act, it became mandatory that all water closets in residential and commercial settings reduce the volume of water that they consume per flush. ...
-
Phull, Manpreet Singh (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)A modified wetted-wall cyclone using different methods of water injection techniques upstream of the inlet was designed as an improvement to a wetted-wall cyclone developed by White, which uses liquid injection through a ...
-
Low differential pressure and multiphase flow measurements by means of differential pressure devices Justo, Hernandez Ruiz, (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)The response of slotted plate, Venturi meter and standard orifice to the presence of two phase, three phase and low differential flows was investigated. Two mixtures (air-water and air-oil) were used in the two-phase ...
-
Vijayaraghavan, Vishnu Karthik (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Filter holders and continuous air monitors (CAMs) are used extensively in the nuclear industry. It is important to minimize leakage in these devices and in recognition of this consideration, a limit on leakage for sampling ...
-
Bible, Mitchell (2011-10-21)An energy analysis was performed on the Texas A & M University at Qatar building in Doha, Qatar. The building and its HVAC systems were modeled using EnergyPlus. Building chilled water and electrical data were collected ...
-
Yin, Peng (2011-10-21)Semi-empirical models for series fan-powered variable air volume terminal units (FPTUs) were developed based on models of the primary, plenum, fan airflow and the fan power consumption. The experimental setups and test ...
