The integration of Dow's Fire and Explosion Index into process design and optimization to achieve an inherently safer design
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The integration of the safety parameter into process design and optimization is
essential. However, there is no previous work in integrating the fire and explosion index
(F&EI) into design and optimization. This research ...
Novel applications of data mining methodologies to incident databases
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Incident databases provide an excellent opportunity to study the repeated situations of incidents in the process industry. The databases give an insight into the situation which led to an incident, and if studied properly ...
Making the business case for process safety using value-at-risk concepts
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
An increasing emphasis on chemical process safety over the last two decades has led to the development and application of powerful risk assessment tools. Hazard analysis and risk evaluation techniques have developed to the ...
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 ...
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 ...
