The Effect of Hardware Configuration on the Performance of Residential Air Conditioning Systems at High Outdoor Ambient Temperatures
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
A study was performed which investigated the effect of hardware configuration on air conditioning cooling system performance at high outdoor temperatures. The initial phase of the investigation involved the testing of ten ...
Three dimensional modeling and analysis of Haversian systems in compact bone tissue
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
This study provides a qualitative as well as quantitative characterization of the geometry and architecture of the Haversian systems at a microscopic level. A procedure was developed and employed to generate a three ...
The effect of drying on the heating value of biomass fuels
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
There has been some speculation as to whether or not biomass fuels (such as feedlot manure) may lose volatile matter during the drying process. Since current standards state that heating value analysis may be performed ...
Stiffness reduction and stress transfer in composite laminates with transverse matrix cracks
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Cross-ply laminates and angle-ply laminates with transverse plies containing through-width matrix cracks across the thickness of the transverse plies are studied using a variational, strain energy based approach, complementary ...
Automating DNA processing
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Technology is currently available to identify the genetic codes responsible for physical traits and genetic diseases in both plants and animals. Regardless of whether the final goal is medical diagnosis or breeder selection, ...
Dynamic pressure and shear stress measurements on the stator wall of whirling annular seals
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Dynamic pressure and shear stress measurements on the stator wall of whirling annular seals are presented. Two flow conditions (Re=12,000 & 24,000), two seal speeds (Ta=3,300 & 6,600) and three eccentricity ratios (0, 10, ...
Effects of geometric scaling on static pressure measurements in orifice flow-meters
(Texas A&M University, 1993)

Determination of the fracture parameters associated with mixed mode displacement fields and applications of high density geometric moire
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
There were two objectives in this research: to develop a high density film grating (80 lines/mm) suitable for use in geometric moire experiments and to develop an algorithm which could be used to determine the fracture ...
Development of analytical and numerical models predicting the deposition rate of electrically charged particles in turbulent channel flows
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
An analytical model is established to predict an electrostatically charged particle deposition as a function of particle size in fully-developed turbulent pipe flow. The convectivediffusion flux equation is solved for the ...
Grading of lumber using stress waves
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The goal of this research was to develop stress wave grading technology suitable for small lumber mills. Specific goals include: 1) develop an ultrasonic probe configuration to facilitate real-time grain angle and edge ...
