Revitalization of a Steam Lab to Meet Energy Challenge and Strengthen Mechanical Engineering Education
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2011)
An 'old' and 'obsolete' boiler system was revitalized and an enhanced Steam Lab was established based on that system. In this project, modifications and improvements were made to the facility, which contains a 150 BHP ...
Integrating Gas Turbines with Cracking Heaters - Impact on Emissions and Energy Efficiency
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2011)
Turbine Exhaust Gas (TEG) contains high levels of
oxygen, typically 15 vol. percent, due to gas turbine blade
material temperature limits. As such it can be used as
an oxidant for combustion in cracking furnaces and
reformers. ...
