Optimization of Supply Air Temperature Reset Schedule for a Single Duct VAV Systems
(2009-05-15)
In a single duct variable air volume (SDVAV) system, the supply air
temperature is usually set as a constant value. Since this constant setpoint is selected
to satisfy the maximum cooling load conditions, significant reheat ...
A Methodology to Evaluate Energy Savings and NOx Emissions Reductions from the Adoption of the 2000 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) to New Residences in Non-Attainment and Affected Counties in Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Currently, four areas of Texas have been designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as non-attainment areas because they exceeded the national one-hour ground-level ozone standard of 0.12 ...
An Analysis of Maximum Residential Energy-Efficiency in Hot and Humid Climates
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Energy-efficient building design involves minimizing the energy use and optimizing the
performance of individual systems and components of the building. The benefits of energyefficient
design, in the residential sector, ...
Effects of System Cycling, Evaporator Airflow, and Condenser Coil Fouling on the Performance of Residential Split-System Air Conditioners
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Three experimental studies were conducted to quantify the effects of system
cycling, evaporator airflow, and condenser coil fouling on the performance of residential
air conditioners. For all studies, the indoor dry-bulb ...
Thermodynamic Modeling and Optimization of a Screw Compressor Chiller and Cooling Tower System
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This thesis presents a thermodynamic model for a screw chiller and cooling tower system for the purpose of developing an optimized control algorithm for the chiller plant. The thermodynamic chiller model is drawn from the ...
The different urban efforts to revitalize urban neighborhoods in the United States and the United Kingdom: comparative case study based on governmental responses focusing on urban neighborhood revitalization
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Many US inner cities that had once experienced enormous growth have suffered
decline in physical, social, and economic respects. This experience has been limited not
only to US urban areas but is also apparent in many ...
Assessing conflict and intimacy for understanding and treating couple distress
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
It has become increasingly apparent that the topic of marital conflict has been
given special status within the published literature on issues of marriage (Bradbury,
Rogge, & Lawrence, 2001; Fincham, 2003). The question ...
C10 semi-peptoid beta-turn peptidomimetics: syntheses, characterization and biological studies
(2009-06-02)
Over the years, the Burgess group has been focusing on the preparation and
testing of small molecules that mimic protein secondary structures for protein-protein
interactions. The most successful compounds made are C10 ...
Bioaccumulation of mercury in pelagic fishes in NW Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Total mercury (Hg) levels were determined in the tissues of ten taxa of pelagic
fishes, with a special emphasis on apex predators (large vertebrates). Highest Hg levels
were observed in blue marlin (Makaira nigricans), ...
Production Trends of Shale Gas Wells
(2010-01-14)
To obtain better well performance and improved production from shale gas
reservoirs, it is important to understand the behavior of shale gas wells and to identify
different flow regions in them over a period of time. It ...
