Reduced gravity Rankine cycle system design and optimization study with passive vortex phase separation
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Liquid-metal Rankine power conversion systems (PCS) coupled with a fission reactor
remain an attractive option for space power applications because system specific power
and efficiency is very favorable for plant designs ...
Evaluation of liquid lift approach to dual gradient drilling
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
In the past, the oil and gas industry has typically used the single gradient system to drill wells offshore. With this system the bottom hole pressure was controlled by a mud column extending from the drilling rig to the ...
The impact of gravity segregation on multiphase non-Darcy flow in hydraulically fractured gas wells
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Multiphase and non-Darcy flow effects in hydraulically fractured gas wells reduce
effective fracture conductivity. Typical proppant pack laboratory experiments are
oriented in such a way such that phase segregation is ...
Utilizing a cycle simulation to examine the use of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) for a spark-ignition engine: including the second law of thermodynamics
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system has been widely used to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission, improve fuel economy and suppress knock by using the characteristics of charge dilution. However, previous studies ...
Diet, habitat and ecomorphology of cichlids in the Upper Bladen River, Belize
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Cichlids are among the most species rich and ecologically diverse families of
freshwater fishes. Life history attributes vary greatly among cichlids across their global
range, and in the Neotropics alone studies have ...
Aggregate stability, infiltration, and glomalin in eroded and compacted soils on Fort Hood Military Reservation
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Fort Hood Military Reservation is a 900 km2 military installation located between Killeen, Copperas Cove, and Gatesville in central Texas. It supports two full armored divisions which require year-round, live-fire maneuvers ...
Developing visual associations through filmmaking
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Associations are embedded in many aspects of filmmaking. It is this artist's goal
to analyze visual associations in the process and product of an original narrative video
piece called Discretion. Character relationships ...
Assessing EC-4 preservice teachers' mathematics knowledge for teaching fractions concepts
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Recognizing the need for U.S. students' mathematics learning to be built on a
solid foundation of conceptual understanding, professional organizations such as the
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (2000) and ...
Fuel cell based battery-less ups system
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
With the increased usage of electrical equipment for various applications, the
demand for quality power apart from continuous power availability has increased and
hence requires the development of appropriate power ...
Direct conversion of carboxylate salts to carboxylic acids via reactive extraction
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The MixAlco process, a proprietary technology owned by Texas A&M
University, converts biomass (e.g., municipal solid waste, sewage sludge, paper,
agricultural residues, and energy crops) into usable chemicals (e.g., ...
