Modeling of Residential Attics with Radiant Barriers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
This paper gives a summary of the efforts at
ORNL in modeling residential attics with radiant
barriers. Analytical models based on a system of
macroscopic heat balances have been developed.
Separate models have been developed ...
Energy Conservation Recommendations, Implementation Costs, and Projected Paybacks for Georgia's Targeted Schools and Hospitals Conservation Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
During the past year the Georgia Tech
Research Institute performed technical
assistance studies on over 100 school and
hospital buildings under a program funded by
the Governor's Office of Energy Resources.
This program ...
Incentive Rates- At What Cost?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Thermal Stratification- A Means to Reduce Cooling Loads in High Bay Industrial Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
The air conditioning of industrial plants is often dismissed as too expensive. The authors report on 20 years of research into the feasibility of thermal stratification. The paper will report on studies of plants designed ...
Oxidative Degradation of Trichloroethylene Adsorbed on Active Carbons: Use of Microwave Energy
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Trichloroethylene (TCE) adsorbed on different
types of active carbons was exposed to a dry and
moist air stream in the presence of 2.45 GHz microwave
radiation. Active carbon beds were used
becauae they absorb microwave ...
Combustion of Cattle Manure in a Fluidized Bed Combustor
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Manure from cattle feedlots is a renewable
energy source which has the potential of
supplementing the existing fossil fuels, but
the heat content of manure is rather low.
Since, the fluidized bed combustion technology
has ...
Hidden Gold
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
In today's environment of lower oil prices
and increasing production, a great deal of the
momentum for energy conservation has been lost.
The majority of projects put forth for energy
conservation are capital intensive. ...
Advanced Cogeneration Control, Optimization, and Management: A Case Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
The performance of cogeneration power
plants can now be assessed on line in real
time using a distributed microprocessor-based
data acquisition and control
system. A representative implementation
is described for ...
Low Grade Heat Recovery- A Unique Approach at Polysar Limited
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
An innovative energy conservation project involving one
of the largest known plate heat exchangers in Canada saves
energy for Polysar Limited. This unique retrofit project has not
only increased the recovery of low grade ...
Impact of Utility Costs on Pinch Designs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Utility costs can have a significant impact on the optimum design of new plants and on the economic viability of energy conservation retrofits. First, an example is used to illustrate how, in some cases, slightly different ...
