Measurement and prediction of aerosol formation for the safe utilization of industrial fluids
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Mist or aerosol explosions present a serious hazard to process industries. Heat transfer fluids are widely used in the chemical process industry, are flammable above their flash points, and can cause aerosol explosions. ...
Models for multi-strata safety performance measurements in the process industry
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Measuring process safety performance is a challenge, and the wide variations in understanding, compliance, and implementation of process safety programs increase the challenge. Process safety can be measured in three strata: ...
Development of a hierarchical fuzzy model for the evaluation of inherent safety
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Inherent safety has been recognized as a design approach useful to remove or reduce hazards at the source instead of controlling them with add-on protective barriers. However, inherent safety is based on qualitative ...
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 ...
Study of formation and convective transport of aerosols using optical diagnostic technique
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The characteristics of liquid and solid aerosols have been intensively investigated by means of optical diagnostic techniques. Part I describes the characteristics of liquid aerosol formation formed by heat transfer fluids ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
