Lloyd, Jimmy Lynn (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Numerical simulations were used to investigate natural convection and radiation interactions in small enclosures of both two and three-dimensional geometries. The objectives of the research were to (1) determine the ...
-
Fullerton, Tracy (2012-02-14)Laminar, two-dimensional, constant-property numerical simulations of flat tube heat exchanger devices operating in flow regimes in which self-sustained oscillations occur were performed. The unsteady flow regimes were ...
-
Cramlet, Andrew Charles (2009-05-15)Empirical performance models of fan airflow, primary airflow and power consumption were developed for series and parallel variable air volume fan powered terminal units. An experimental setup and test procedure were created ...

Moncla, Brandon Wayne (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)A wetted wall cyclone using an airblast atomizer upstream of the inlet was designed as an improvement of a wetted wall cyclone developed by White et al. in 1975, which uses liquid injection through a port on the wall of ...
-
Richardson, Mathews Sears (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)In this study, a system for the collection of bioaerosols emitted from the mail sorting process was designed and characterized. Two different wetted-wall cyclones, the JBPDS cyclone and the glass cyclone sampler (GCS), ...

Bynum, John 1983- (2012-11-28)In warm and humid climates, a primary source of building energy consumption is dehumidification of conditioned air supplied to the building spaces. The proposed system utilizes a selective membrane to remove water vapor ...
-
Sparks, Sara A. (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)In previous studies the slotted orifice plate has demonstrated superior performance characteristics to those of the standard orifice plate. In this study, these comparisons are investigated further. The response characteristics ...

Isaguirre, Refugio Rey, IV (2009-06-02)Slot virtual impactors provide an efficient low power method of concentrating aerosols. A circumferential slot virtual impactor (CSVI) is especially effective because it has a continuous slot, and, therefore, has no losses ...
