(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)The use of abradable and rub tolerant polymer seals to reduce leakage between rotating and stationary members in centrifugal compressors and steam turbines has increased over the years. Abradable materials such as mica-filled ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)In order to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere, significant work has been made in sequestration of CO2 from power plants and other major producers of greenhouse gas ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1986)The high-speed centrifugal pump dealt with herein has been designed principally for applications in high-pressure injection for enhanced oil recovery. To assure the high output flexibility necessary for this service, the ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)The development of a novel mechanical seal specifically aimed at applications where the sealed medium contains a significant proportion of suspended solids is discussed. It follows the project in detail from the initial ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)The development of a versatile system capable of providing rapid, portable, and inexpensive detection of explosives and energetic compounds is needed critically to offer an enhanced level of protection against current and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)This project presents the development and design of a comprehensive interface coupled with a geodatabase (ArcGISwat 2003), for the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). SWAT is a hydrologically distributed, lumped parameter ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)This paper presents the results of the development of the duct model based on ASHRAE standard 152-2004 (ASHRAE, 2004) using the DOE-2.1e building energy simulation program. To accomplish this, FUNCTION commands for DOE-2 ...
