    • Conservation in a Gulf Coast Chemical Plant 
      Murray, F. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      The MCA reports chemical industry energy compared to 1972 to be 24.2% (1981 data). This paper will describe the activity of one Gulf Coast chemical industry plant which has reduced consumption by 41%. Improvements have ...
    • Industrial Lighting Techniques and New Developments 
      Colotti, M. A. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
      The energy crisis of the early seventies has had a drastic influence on both the application and development of light sources. This situation has forced us to examine old methods and search for new answers for improved ...
    • Industrial Low Temperature Waste Heat Utilization 
      Altin, M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
      In this paper, some common and emerging techniques to better utilize energy in the chemical process industries are discussed. Temperature levels of waste heat available are pointed out. Emerging practices for further ...
    • Industrial Process Heat Pumps--Some Unconventional Wisdom 
      Karp, A. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
      Recent research on the cost-effective use of industrial process heat pumps challenges some popularly held perceptions about the appropriate use of this technology. Also challenged are some common approaches to identifying ...
    • Load Management - An Industrial Perspective on This Developing Technology 
      Delgado, R. M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      Load Management is a rapidly developing technology which can have a significant impact on all electric users, especially large users. It is mandated by P.U.R.P.A. (Public Utility Regulatory Policy Act) and is akin to energy ...
    • The Modern Energy Savings Route 
      Smith, M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
      In most operations, cooling towers are not purposely overlooked by Plant Personnel. However, the lack of knowledge about their importance prevents energy managers from making intelligent, informed decisions. This paper ...
    • Theories of Motivation -- Borrowing the Best 
      Terpstra, D. E. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      The paper briefly reviews five approaches to motivation-Maslow's Need Hierarchy Theory, Herzberg's Dual-Factor Theory, Locke's Goal-Setting Theory, Expectancy/Valence Theory, and Reinforcement Theory. On the basis of the ...
