      Chamberlain, P. F. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      This morning in the course of my discussion, I would like to cover how we at Westvaco were handling our motor replacement decisions, how we are handling them now and how we determined the costs and benefits of such a change. ...
    • Energy Futures in Industry - Achievements Through Energy Conservation - A Success Story 
      Francis, G.; Tomlin, W. U. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      The paper describes total energy management in a company where only a small amount of energy is used as a proportion of total cost operation and the effect of such programs since their inception in 1976. Energy Management ...
    • Energy Management in the 1980's 
      Govindan, T. S. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      Energy management in an industrial plant requires several short-and long-range steps. In the 1970's, steps to improve housekeeping and to make minor modifications to equipment were initiated. The next stage in the improvement ...
    • Foreign-Made Energy Conservation Equipment in the U. S. Market 
      Exstrum, B. A. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      The huge jump in energy prices since the early 1970s has created a large market for energy-saving industrial equipment and systems in the U.S. In Europe and Japan, great emphasis has been placed on developing energy-efficient ...
    • Heat Pipes: An Industrial Application 
      Murray, F. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      This paper reviews the basics of heat pipe exchangers. Included are how they are constructed, how they operate, where they have application, and various aspects of evaluating a potential application. After discussing the ...
    • Heat Transfer Enhancement: Second Generation Technology 
      Bergles, A. E.; Webb, R. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      This paper reviews current activity in the field of enhanced heat transfer, with the aim of illustrating the technology and typical applications. Guidelines for application of enhanced surfaces are given, and practical ...
    • Heat-Traced Fluid Transfer Lines 
      Schilling, R. E. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      This paper discusses basic considerations in designing a heat tracing system using either team or electrical tracing. Four basic reasons to heat trace are dealt with: water freeze protection, chemical freeze protection, ...
    • Industrial Utilization of Coal-Oil Mixtures 
      Dunn, J. E.; Hawkins, G. T. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
      Coal-oil mixtures (COM) are receiving increasing interest as economical alternatives to residual fuel oil and natural gas used in heavy industrial and utility applications. Four basic approaches are currently employed in ...
    • Infra-Red Process for Colour Fixation on Fabrics 
      Biau, D.; Raymond, D. J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      Infra-red radiations find wide application in industrial processes as heating, drying, stoving and forming. The results are often far better than those from the other techniques: convection oven, gas IR etc . They come ...
    • Liquid-Liquid Extraction Processes 
      Fair, J. R.; Humphrey, J. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      Liquid-liquid extraction is the separation of one or more components of a liquid solution by contact with a second immiscible liquid called the solvent. If the components in the original liquid solution distribute themselves ...
