(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)Increasing fuel costs have forced industry to look at ways to conserve energy. Preheating combustion air by utilizing the wasted heat in the flue gas can result in significant fuel savings. The attractiveness of the ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)Although high capacity combustors and heat transfer modules are used in various industries, they have yet to be combined advantageously on a wide scale to process and utility heaters. These combinations lead to a shift in ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)This paper describes the theoretical background and the design and development of a prototype externally fired steam injected (ECSI) gas turbine which has a potential to utilize lower grade fuels. The system is designed ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)An open Rankine-cycle heat pump is ideally suited for producing low-pressure industrial process steam. Because steam serves as both the heat pump motive fluid and process fluid, the system achieves a unique simplicity and ...

(2015-11-16)Low-quality crude oil reserves require prohibitively high energy costs to extract and transport. The extreme viscosity and impurities of these oils prevents them from being transported via pipeline, requiring the use of ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)Higher pump efficiency, a most worthy objective, is being pursued with increasing vigour as energy costs rise. There are signs, however, that the pursuit occasionally loses its perspective. To try to eliminate ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)Cogeneration is the sequential use of a single fuel source to generate electrical and thermal energy. It is not a new technology but an old, proven one whose interest has been reawakened. American Standard has had ...
-
(2020-06-17)For centuries researchers have been pushing the boundaries of their respective technical domains, but it is only a few decades ago that research started taking its dig on system design theory. A system design theory ...
-
(2021-04-29)We should give the soul of soft robotics by enlarging the concepts of structure design, material science, fluid mechanics, and control theory to embrace the more noble task of system design. By system design, we refer to ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)Evaporation is nature's way of cooling. By the application of a thin film of water, in the form of a mist, on the roof of the building, roof temperatures can be reduced from as high as 165o to a cool 86oF. Thus, under-roof ...

(2021-04-12)Satellites are a critical element of the modern world, and designers continue to increase their capability while significantly reducing their size, which has put space missions within the reach of Universities. Microsatellites ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)Shortages of fossil fuels and subsequent increasing prices and curtailments of these fuels have combined to accelerate the development of alternate energy sources. Waste heat recovery is one time-proven method of replacing ...
