    • Venkatesan, V. V.; Leigh, N. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
      Along with the shortage of conventional energy sources, efforts have been sought to use energy in a rational manner. Whereas the biggest energy consumption is in the industrial sector, various techniques to reduce energy ...
    • Leigh, N.; Venkatesan, V. V. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)
      The industrial sector consumes the largest share of the world's energy. The pulp and paper industry is one of the five most energy-intensive industries in the world. Therefore, optimum energy efficiency plays a pivotal ...
    • Iordanova, N.; Venkatesan, V. V.; Calogero, M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2002-04)
      The steam system optimization (generation, distribution, use and condensate return) offers a large opportunity for action to comply with the new levels of energy efficiency standards. Superior design and improved maintenance ...
    • Iordanova, N.; Venkatesan, V. V. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
      This paper highlights the study findings in a steam system in a plant from a multinational Petrochemical giant in an European country. The steam system operates with an annual budget of $8.9 million (local currency was ...
    • Venkatesan, V. V.; Harun, S. D.; Karthikeyan, P. S. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2005)
      Any unplanned shut down of a continuous process plant is a big problem. Improving the reliability and system integrity is very essential to avoid unplanned shutdowns. Water hammer is a problem that threatens the reliability and ...
