Flow reactor experiments on the selective non-catalytic removal of nitrogen oxides
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Three flow reactor studies, using an electrically heated laminar flow reactor, were performed at 1 atm pressure and various temperatures. To establish inert conditions inside the reactor, a quartz tube was used. The ...
Concurrent design and optimization of a star tracker for space applications by identification of critical design parameters and their effect on a performance measure
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
An optimization procedure to be used concurrently with a top-down general design process was developed. The optimization procedure consists of identifying the critical design parameters and analyzing their effect on a ...
A study on the isothermal elastic response of inhomogeneous materials for certain classes of boundary value problems
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
In this work, a systematic study of the solution to classes of boundary value problems when the body is inhomogeneous is undertaken. Within the framework of field theories, the non-linear equations, describing the isothermal ...
Genetic algorithm based optimization in engineering design using fuzzy constraints and fitness functions
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The motivation for this work has been the use of tools, such as genetic algorithms and fuzzy sets, to address the various issues that are involved in an engineering design optimization problem. In order to address the ...
The experimental determination of the dynamic radial stiffness of an angular contact ball bearing
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
To evaluate the A. B. Jones bearing stiffness predictions on an angular contact ball bearing, experimental testing on an angular contact ball bearing was conducted. Objectives of the testing were to determine the effects ...
A study on the effect of inlet turbulence on gas mixing for single point aerosol sampling
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The efficiency of certain mixing elements in achieving conditions suited for single point sampling is evaluated. Experimental measurements of velocity and tracer gas concentration are taken to determine the same. Readings ...
A Study of Industrial Equipment Energy Use and Demand Control
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Demand and duty factors were measured for selected equipment [air compressors, electric furnaces, injection-molding machines, a welder, a granulator (plastics grinder), a sheet metal press and brake, a lathe, a process ...
Theoretical and experimental investigation of polarization spectroscopy
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The physics of polarization spectroscopy has been studied theoretically and experimentally. Theoretically, the dependence of saturated polarization spectroscopy signal has been studied using the direct numerical integration ...
Characterizations of severely deformed and annealed copper
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The objectives of this study were to characterize severely plastically deformed and recrystallized oxygen free high conductivity copper, to determine texture transformation potential of Equal Channel Angular Extrusion ...
Inhomogeneous deformation of a cone of Neo-Hookean material
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
In this work we investigate, the nonlinear, elastic deformation of a cone made of a Neo-Hookean material. We use a semi-inverse method and assume a specific form of the displacement and the corresponding structure of the ...
