Effect of availability on multi-period planning of subsea oil and gas production systems
(2009-05-15)
Natural gas and petroleum are non-renewable and scarce energy sources.
Although, it is well known that hydrocarbon reserves are depleting through the years, oil
and gas remain the principal source of energy upon which our ...
Layer of protection analysis applied to ammonia refrigeration systems
(2009-05-15)
Ammonia refrigeration systems are widely used in industry. Demand of these
systems is expected to increase due to the advantages of ammonia as refrigerant and
because ammonia is considered a green refrigerant. Therefore, ...
A statistical model for estimating mean annual and mean monthly flows at ungaged locations
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Prediction of flow is necessary for planning and management of water resources. The objective of this study is to estimate mean annual flows for the USA and mean monthly flows for the rivers of central Texas based on the ...
Development of an ArcGIS interface and design of a geodatabase for the soil and water assessment tool
(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 ...
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, ...
Analysis of Improved Fenestration for Code-Compliant Residential Buildings in Hot and Humid Climates
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
This thesis presents an analysis of energy efficient residential windows in hot and humid climates.
To accomplish this analysis, the use of accurate simulation tools such as DOE-2.1e is required, which
incorporates the ...
Reactivity of ethylene oxide in contact with contaminants
(2009-05-15)
Ethylene oxide (EO) is a very versatile compound with considerable energy in its ring
structure. Its reactions proceed mainly via ring opening and are highly exothermic.
Under some conditions, it is known to undergo a ...
Incorporating salinity considerations in water availability modeling
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
This research focused on expanding the capabilities of the Water Rights Analysis
Package (WRAP) for incorporating salinity considerations in assessments of water
availability. A simulation modeling approach was used to ...
