      Cold air distribution systems may reduce the operating energy consumption of air-conditioned air supply system and improve the outside air volume percentages and indoor air quality. However, indoor temperature patterns and ...
    • Wang, Q.; Miao, X.; Cheng, B.; Fan, L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
      In view of the influence of humidity of room air on room heat load, indoor environment and building energy consumption in underground intermittent air-conditioning systems, numerical simulation was used to dynamically ...
    • Gao, B.; Dong, Z.; Cheng, Z.; Luo, E. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
      As new equipment, the channel wheel fresh air ventilator has become increasingly popular in recent years. However, when such equipment is operated under low ambient temperature in the freezing area in winter, the formation ...
    • Wang, D.; Shan, S.; Wang, R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
      Air source heat pump water heaters (ASHPWH) are becoming increasingly popular for saving energy, protecting the environment and security purposes. The water temperature distribution in the tank is an important parameter ...
    • Veloo, Peter S.; Park, Okjoo; Egolfopoulos, Fokion N. (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2015)
      Intrinsic to the computer modeling of explosions and fires is the concept of flammability limits. Conventionally, the term “flammability limit” is defined loosely as the concentration limits beyond which flame propagation ...
    • Muraya, Norman K. (1994-12)
      Non-linear finite element models were developed to simulate transient heat and mass transfer in the soil surrounding the ground heat exchangers of ground-coupled heat pumps (GCHPs) operating in the cooling mode. Parametric ...
    • Min, Dong Seok; Oh, Eui-young; Jung, Seungho (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2018)
      As the chemical industry has developed, the use of toxic substances has increased, and leakage accidents have increased. Among various substances, hydrogen fluoride (HF) and ammonia (NH3) are representative materials for ...
    • Panara, Daniele; Baldassarre, Leonardo; Griffin, Duccio; Mattana, Alessandro; Panconi, Simone; Meli, Enrico (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      The increasing demand of higher efficiency and increased equipment compactness is pushing the modern rotordynamic design towards higher and higher bearing peripheral speeds. Due to the increased viscous dissipation, fluid ...
    • Dupont, Philippe (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
      With the increase in power per unit of volume for modern pumps, driven by manufacturing costs reduction, cavitation becomes more and more the main limiting factor in pump design. The classical one-dimensional design rules ...
    • Shukla, Shyam N.; Kshirsagar, Jagadish T. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
      Pump intake is designed to provide adequate water supply to pumps. It is essential to design the pump intake to provide fairly uniform and swirl free flow to pumps. However, it is not always possible due to site constraints. ...
    • Li, X.; Li, N.; Fang, F.; Zhao, D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
      Energy-efficient and cost-effective space conditioning in offices and other commercial buildings usually use the underfloor space for the supply air static-pressure plenum. The airflow in a plenum of the underfloor air ...
