    • Distillation: The Efficient Workhorse 
      Steinmeyer, D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
    • Optimum Temperature Difference and Pressure Drop in Heat Exchangers 
      Steinmeyer, D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1991-06)
      Most processing is thermal. Reaction systems and separation systems are typically dominated by their associated heat exchange. Optimization of this heat exchange has a tremendous leverage on the ultimate process efficiency. ...
    • Process Energy Retrofits 
      Steinmeyer, D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
      There are three barriers which keep the retrofit plant from matching the energy efficiency of the new plant: • Activation Energy. The retrofit engineer must justify starting over rather than marginal economics. • ...
    • Removing the Entropy Screen- To Let the Second Law Show 
      Steinmeyer, D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
      What we shape is what we see. When we try to shape something without seeing it clearly, the probability of achieving a happy result is low. When we talk about "saving energy" what we usually mean is "not wasting work". ...
    • The Waste Prevention War-- Small Arms Fire Now, but the Heavy Artillery is Coming (and the Search is on for Magic Bullets) 
      Steinmeyer, D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1990-06)
      'Waste Prevention' is unambiguous, as contrasted with 'waste minimization' or 'waste elimination'. It means preventing the production of waste. It isn't easy to do. Typically it requires major modification to the process: * ...
    • Waste Prevention-- What Can We Learn From the Success of Energy Conservation 
      Steinmeyer, D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
      Enlightened Self Interest- A Parallel Path to Follow. The goals of stockholders, employees and the nations in which we live are clearly aligned in energy conservation and waste prevention. Call it “social responsibility”, ...
