      Comparisons are made of the performance and installation costs of Rankine and Brayton power cycles when applied to waste heat recovery from a 350 ton/day container glass furnace. The power cycles investigation included: ...
    • Chittum, A.; Kaufman, N. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-05)
      Combined Heat and Power (CHP) has been identified as a significant opportunity for greater energy efficiency and decreased environmental impacts of energy consumption. Despite this, the regulatory and policy landscape ...
    • Marsh, G. M.; Milewits, M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      Until the present there has been no effective way to rapidly scan thermally insulated refinery or process piping for corrosion or thin wall. Such defects, if left unattended, can lead to wasteful losses of time, energy and ...
    • Prengle, H. W. Jr.; Golden, S. A. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
      This paper considers three related questions: 1) What are the primary economic driving forces which determine the rate of industrial energy conservation? 2) How much industrial energy conservation has been achieved over ...
