Cutting Industrial Solar System Costs in Half
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
While there are technical, social, environmental and institutional barriers to the widespread use of solar systems, the principle barrier is economic. For commercial and industrial firms to turn to this alternate energy ...
Supercritical Fluid Extraction
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
In supercritical fluid extraction, many options are available for achieving and controlling the desired selectivity, which is extremely sensitive to variations in pressure, temperature, and choice of solvent. The ability ...
Cogeneration: The Need for Utility-Industry Cooperation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
Cogeneration is receiving increasing attention because of its potential for efficient utilization of energy. Many recent cogeneration studies, however, have concentrated on the benefits and costs of cogeneration to industry, ...
Compact Ceramic Heat Exchangers for Corrosive Waste Gas Applications
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
The development of large ceramic heat exchangers is described and performance data given for units installed on steel industry soaking pits in the U.K. Operational experience since 1973 confirms that ceramic heat exchangers ...
Biological Solutions to Industrial Energy Reduction
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
Recent developments in molecular biology make the application of biology, mostly at the enzyme level, to industrial processes economically advantageous. Recombinant DNA technologies permit the synthesis of large quantities ...
Planning a Commercial Fuel Cell Installation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Fuel cell power plants represent a unique
opportunity for industrial users to combine
on-site electricity generation and heat recovery
with high efficiencies and no significant
environmental releases. Thus in ...
Gas Turbines Increase the Energy Efficiency of Industrial Processes
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
It is a well known fact that the gas turbine in a combined cycle has a higher inherent Carnot efficiency than the steam cycle which has been more generally accepted by industry. Unlike steam turbines, gas turbines do not ...
Diverse Applications of Pinch Technology Within the Process Industries
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Within the past few years, pinch technology has
revolutionised the way engineers design and retrofit
processes. The technology offers a new approach to
process integration based on the application of the
pinch ...
Commercialization of Industrialized Absorption Heat Pumps in the US
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
The recovery of waste heat through
absorption heat pumping is quite appealing to
U.S. industry. However, although this
technology has been successfully applied in
Europe and Japan, a cautious atmosphere will
continue ...
Wood Fired Steam Plants in Georgia
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
During the 1970's, Georgia industry experienced problems obtaining fuel for operations on several occasions. In particular, the very cold winter of 1976-77 resulted in natural gas curtailments which virtually shut down ...
