Non-intrusive characterization of heat transfer fluid aerosol formation
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Heat transfer fluids are widely used in the chemical process industry and are available in a wide range of properties. These fluids are flammable above their flash points and can cause explosions. Though the possibility ...
Dense gas dispersion modeling for aqueous releases
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Production, transportation, and storage of hazardous chemicals represent potential risks to the environment, the public, and the producers themselves. The release to the atmosphere of materials that may form mixtures denser ...
Effects of Hydrophobic Surface Treatments on Dropwise Condensation and Freezing of Water
(Texas A&M University, 1995-12)
The effects of hydrophobic coatings on the dropwise condensation process for a flat horizontal copper plate held at a temperature much lower than the surrounding air
was investigated. Extensive qualitative and quantitative ...
Short-term Monitoring Long-term Prediction of Energy Use in Commercial and Institutional Buildings: the SMLP Method
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2001-05)
The Short-term Monitoring Long-term Prediction (SMLP) method is a new method for baselining, predicting and evaluating the energy performance of commercial and institutional buildings when only short-term data are available. ...
Modeling of Refrigerant Flow Through Flexible Short Tube Orifices
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2000-08)
Single-phase flow of refrigerants R-22, R-13a, and R-41a through flexible short tube orifices with three different geometries and a range in upstream operating conditions was modeling using the finite element method, FEM. ...
An Investigation on Heat Transfer During the Freezing of Condensate Droplets
(Texas A&M University, 1996-05)
The heat transfer and the freezing process of condensate droplets resting on a cold metal plate have been studied both experimentally and numerically.
The experimental part of the investigation dealt with the measurements ...
The Measured Energy Impact of Air Leakage on Frame Wall Systems
(Texas A&M University, 1991-05)
Infiltration is customarily assumed to increase the heating and cooling load of a building by an amount equal to the mass flow rate of the infiltration times the enthalpy difference between the inside and outside air - ...
Energy Conservation Opportunities in Commercial and Industrial Facilities: Energy Utilization Indices (EUI) in Texas LoanSTAR Buildings
(Texas A&M University, 1993-08)
The work described in this report was performed under the direction of the Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Center (EADC) at Texas A&M University. The EADC program is managed by University City Science Center under agreement ...
