Tilting-Pad Bearings: Measured Frequency Characteristics Of Their Rotordynamic Coefficients
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
This paper reviews a long standing issue related to the stiffness and damping coefficients of tilting-pad (TP) bearings; namely, What is the nature of their frequency dependency? A research project was implemented at the ...
Recommendations for 15% Above-Code Energy Efficiency Measures for Single Family Residences
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2007-12)
Development of a Calibration Methodology for Code-compliant Simulation of a Case Study House in a Hot and Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-08)
This paper describes a comparison of the results between a code-compliant DOE-2 simulation and monthly utility bills for a case study house in College Station, Texas. The comparison of the results is a preliminary step ...

Thermal Effects of Moisture in Rigid Insulation Board
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
The impact of moisture in rigid roof insulation upon energy consumption is often assumed to be a simple function of the conductance. This paper will show that there are complex interactions between conductance, thermal ...
The Use and Benefits of Video Inspection in Lined and Unlined Ductwork in IAQ Surveys and "Source Removal" Cleaning Projects
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
New technology has developed video equipment capable of inspecting interior lined and unlined ductwork. Where IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) questions require inspections of suspicious air conveyance systems. Video recordings ...
Low Impact, Affordable, Low Income Houses for Mexico
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-08)
This paper discusses an effort to develop low impact, affordable, low income houses for Mexico. Low impact houses are defined as houses with energy and water needs that are substantially reduced below levels corresponding ...
Disaggregating Cooling Energy Use of Commercial Buildings Into Sensible and Latent Fractions From Whole-Building Monitored Data: Methodology and Advantages
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
In hot and humid climates, where summers are both warm and humid, the latent cooling can be a significant portion of the total cooling load (as much as 40%). Typically the monitored data only includes whole-building heating ...
