    • Formulation of Prediction Algorithms for Management of Commercial and Industrial Energy Loads 
      Forrester, R. J.; Wepfer, W. J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      Adaptive control promise's to significantly improve the energy efficiency of commercial and industrial HVAC systems. By predicting energy consumption and peak usage up to several hours in advance, the adaptive control ...
    • Practical Application of Second Law Costing Methods 
      Wepfer, W. J.; Gaggioli, R. A. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      The key to proper allocation of fuel and feedstock costs to the products from a plant or from any one of its components is the commodity called exergy - the central concept of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, commonly ...
    • Practical Application of Second Law Efficiency Analysis 
      Gaggioli, R. A.; Wepfer, W. J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      Slowly but surely the direct application of the Second Law of Thermodynamics is being recognized, for its practical usefulness in engineering. This paper will describe the methods, and show the results of applications to ...
    • Simulation of an Industrial Rankine Cycle Cogeneration Plant 
      Carattie, G.; Wepfer, W. J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      Sophisticated designs of thermal systems may be evaluated, quickly and inexpensively, with the support of computer based system simulation techniques; i.e. CAD for thermal systems. Furthermore, the response of a thermal ...
