Combustion and Explosion of Carbon Nanofibers
(2016-04-13)
Although there is a fast growth in the production and application of nanomaterials, very little research about the fire and explosion hazards associated with nanomaterials has been done. Dust explosion studies on micro-size ...
The Safe Storage Study for Autocatalytic Reactive Chemicals
(2010-10-12)
In the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) report,
Improving Reactive Hazard Management, there are 37 out of 167 accidents, which
occurred in a storage tank or a storage area. This fact demonstrates ...
Risk Analysis Including Organizational Aspects In Process Industries
(2015-07-09)
The lack of management of organizational change has been found to be a contributing factor in a number of accidents. Proper management of organizational change considering the possible process safety incidents is essential ...
Development of an Automated Methodology for Calibration of Simplified Air-Side HVAC System Models and Estimation of Potential Savings from Retrofit/Commissioning Measures
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This dissertation provides one methodology to determine potential energy savings
of buildings with limited information. This methodology is based upon the simplified
energy analysis procedure of HVAC systems and the control ...
A Methodology to Pre-Screen Commercial Buildings for Potential Energy Savings Using Limited Information
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Typical energy audits are sufficiently expensive and time-consuming that many
owners and managers of buildings are not willing to invest the time and money required
for a full audit. This dissertation provides a methodology ...
The Development of Comprehensive Community NOx Emissions Reduction Toolkit (CCNERT)
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
In this dissertation I will present and test a model linking actual applicant-interviewer demographic, human capital, and cultural capital similarity to an interviewer's recommendation to hire. Actual similarity is proposed ...
Integrating Safety Issues in Optimizing Solvent Selection and Process Design
(2011-10-21)
Incorporating consideration for safety issues while designing solvent processes has become crucial in light of the chemical process incidents involving solvents that have taken place in recent years. The implementation of ...
Safer Operational Conditions for Natural Gas Processing in Transmission Line to LNG Plants
(2018-11-21)
Carbon dioxide must be removed from natural gas before liquefying the gas because it freezes in pipelines and corrodes process equipment. There are several processes that can be used to remove CO2 from natural gas. The ...
An Evaluation of the Bioclimatic Chart for Choosing Design Strategies for a Thermostatically-Controlled Residence in Selected Climates
(2009-05-15)
To be successful in sustainable building design, architects must consider energy
efficient design strategies in the early design stage. Unfortunately, many architects still
rely on simplified analysis, synthesis techniques, ...
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 ...
