    • Energy Recovery System for Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units 
      Wen, H.; Lou, S. C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
      This paper describes the power and heat recovery processes and equipment for modern fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) units made possible by improvements in catalyst fines removal technology and the availability of erosion ...
    • Gas Turbines Increase the Energy Efficiency of Industrial Processes 
      Banchik, I. N.; Bohannan, W. R.; Stork, K.; McGovern, L. J. (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 ...
    • Gasohol - Where We Are Today 
      McCammon, W. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
      With the advent of the crude oil price increases, associated with the Middle East crisis, many countries, particularly Brazil, began producing ethanol for the use as fuel in mixture with gasoline. In the United States, ...
    • Heat Recovery from Coal Gasifiers 
      Wen, H.; Lou, S. C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
      This paper deals with heat recovery from pressurized entrained and fixed bed coal gasifiers for steam generation. High temperature waste heat, from slagging entrained flow coal gasifier, can be recovered effectively in a ...
    • Optimum Design of Coal Gasification Plants 
      Pohani, B. P.; Ray, H. P.; Wen, H. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
      This paper deals with the optimum design of heat recovery systems using the Texaco Coal Gasification Process (TCGP). TCGP uses an entrained type gasifier and produces hot gases at approximately 2500oF with high heat flux. ...
    • Retrofit Installations of Adjustable Speed Drives to Conserve Energy at Industrial Facilities 
      Porcaro, C. R.; Galstaun, L. S.; Holmes, M. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      This paper is a progress report on a study funded by the Electrical Power Research Institute (EPRI). The purpose of the study is to identify and analyze existing installations that appear to offer opportunities for energy ...
