    • Distillation: Energy Savings and Other Benefits From the Use of High Efficiency Packings 
      Bravo, J. L.; Fair, J. R.; Humphrey, J. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
      A great deal of attention has been focused lately on the use of high-efficiency packings for distillation applications. This paper discusses benefits that can be derived from the use of these devices. In particular, ...
    • Distillation: Present Status and Future Directions 
      Fair, J. R.; Humphrey, J. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      Distillation will undoubtedly continue to be the most-used method for separating liquid mixtures, at any scale of operation. For this reason, and also because of its recognized energy intensiveness, distillation commands ...
    • Distillation: The Efficient Workhorse 
      Steinmeyer, D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
    • Dynamics of separation processes 
      Feng, A. (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)
      A generalized form of the semi-implicit Runge-Kutta method proposed by Michelsen was developed removing the necessity of defining new variables which place system differential equations in state variable form (ordinary ...
    • Economics of Energy Conservation in the Chemical and Petrochemical Industries 
      Nachod, J. E. Jr. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
      Capital allocated to energy savings projects competes with that for new or revised plants. Thus, it must show the same or better rate of return. Usually the risk factor in energy savings projects is less than allocations ...
    • Electrified Separation Processes in Industry 
      Appleby, A. J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      For any separation procedure in the chemical industry, a certain amount of reversible work in the form of free energy is required, as dictated by the second law of thermodynamics. Classical techniques for effecting ...
    • Energy Conservation and Cogeneration in Bottom-of-the-Barrel Processes 
      Fleming, J. B.; Chang, C. P.; Pierce, V. E. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
      Due to the increased use of coal and the reduced demand for Bunker C and other heavy liquid fuels, more refiners are adding or increasing the capacity of their facilities for converting the bottom-of-the-barrel streams ...
    • Experimental and analytical studies of hydrocarbon yields under dry-, steam-, and steam-with-propane distillation 
      Jaiswal, Namit (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
      Simulation study has shown oil production is accelerated when propane is used as an additive during steam injection. To better understand this phenomenon, distillation experiments were performed using San Ardo crude oil ...
    • Heat Recovery in Distillation by Mechanical Vapor Recompression 
      Becker, F. E.; Zakak, A. I. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
      A significant reduction in distillation tower energy requirements can be achieved by mechanical vapor recompression. Three design approaches for heating a distillation tower reboiler by mechanical vapor recompression ...
    • Solution of the equations for systems of fractionating columns 
      Hess, Fernando Enrique (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)
      The work which follows contributes several methods for solving problems involving fractionating equipment. Single distillation and absorber columns are compared, and two algorithms for the solution of systems of fractionating ...
    • Solution procedures for nonideal equilibrium stage processes at steady and unsteady state described by algebraic or differential-algebraic equations 
      Gallun, Steven Eugene (Texas A&M University. Libraries, )
      The Newton-Raphson procedure is used to solve the model equations for a single column and a system of two columns in an extractive distillation process at steady state. The model for the singe column is used as the unit ...
