    • Turek, P.; Gibson, G. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
      Celanese Chemical Company, Inc. is converting from natural gas to coal as boiler fuel at its petrochemical plant in the Texas Panhandle. Coincident with that fuel conversion is a project in conjunction with Southwestern ...
    • Thunem, C.; Smith, N. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
      The availability of an environmentally acceptable multifuel technology, such as fluidized bed combustion, has encouraged many steam producers/ users to investigate switching from oil or gas to coal. Changes in federal ...
    • Williams, M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      Cogeneration has become an extremely popular subject when discussing conservation and energy saving techniques. One of the key factors which effect conservation is the utility viewpoint on PURPA and cogeneration rule making. ...
    • Rashed Ali Atta, Hazem Mohamed (2009-06-02)
      The integration of cogeneration technologies in residential communities has the potential of reducing energy demand and harmful emissions. This study investigated the impact of selected design parameters on the environmental ...
