Daylighting: Measuring the Performance of Light Shelves and Occupant-Controlled Blinds on a Dimmed Lighting Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
The design of a day lighted space is both an art and
a science. The biggest challenge facing the lighting
designer is to admit only as much light as necessary
and distribute it evenly throughout the space without
introducing ...
Building Efficiency and Indoor Air Quality - You Can Have Both
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Providing ventilation for acceptable indoor air
quality per ASHRAE Standard 62-1989 does not
require large increases in utility costs. Building
efficiency does not have to be sacrificed for a
healthy building. The ASHRAE ...
Conversion of Waste Biomass into Useful Products
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
Waste biomass includes municipal solid waste (MSW), municipal sewage sludge (SS), industrial biosludge, manure, and agricultural residues. When treated with lime, biomass is highly digestible by a mixed culture of acid-forming ...
Climate Change Concerns and the Likely Impacts on Industrial Energy R&D
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
Last December, US negotiators agreed to commit the U.S. to a binding target of reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 30% below business-as-usual (BAU) projections by 1990. Since
U.S. Industry is responsible for ...
Broad Initiatives/Sharp Focus- Cuts Electricity Consumption 15%
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
Analysis of electrical consumption can payout in reduced energy costs. Continuous monitoring of electrical usage coupled with improvements and optimization in system(s) operations can have a favorable impact on annual ...
Managing Crop Nutrients Through Soil, Manure and Effluent Testing
(1998-12-10)
Soil testing is the foundation of a sound fertility management program, and manure and effluent testing can provide additional information for its effective use.
Application Of A Heat Barrier Sleeve To Prevent Synchronous Rotor Instability.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
This paper explains how synchronous rotor instability can occur
in high speed turbomachinery due to differential heating of bearing
journals. Theoretical investigations have indicated that rotors
supported by fluid-film ...
High Speed Oil-Free Turbomachinery String.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
This paper is a discussion of the design, manufacture, test, and
field operation of a totally oil-free string of rotating equipment. The
turbomachinery string consists of a multistage centrifugal
compressor driven by a ...
Vibration And Eccentricity Measurements Combined With Rotordynamic Analyses On A Six Bearing Turbine Generator.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
This lecture discusses how the vibration characteristics and
eccentricity measurements were combined with rotordynamic
analyses to help improve the reliability of a turbine generator unit.
It also explains certain ...
Design Modifications And Active Balancing On An Integrally Forged Steam Turbine Rotor To Solve Serious Reliability Problems.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
This paper describes the design modifications and active
balancing on a 19,000 hp integrally forged steam turbine rotor to
improve its dynamic characteristics and reliability. The turbine was
purchased as a replacement ...
