    • Heat Pumps - Theory and Applications 
      Altin, M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
      In this paper the thermodynamic viability of heat pumps is evaluated by potential work flux (exergy) analysis. A short description of the exergy (work potential) and other concepts such as 'lost work' needed for exergy ...
    • Industrial Heat Pump Design Options 
      Gilbert, J. S. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
      There are numerous industries that can incorporate heat pumps into their operations to save energy costs and payoff the investment in well under two years. Many of these industries can cut energy costs associated with ...
    • Low Level Heat Recovery Through Heat Pumps and Vapor Recompression 
      Gilbert, J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
      The intent of this paper is to examine the methods and economics of recovering low level heat through heat pumps and vapor recompression. Actual commercially available equipment is considered to determine the near-term and ...
    • Power Generation and Power Use Decisions in an Industrial Process 
      Gilbert, J. S.; Niess, R. C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
      This paper discusses how to decide whether to generate any or all of a plant's power, or to use power, purchased or self-generated, to move heat or do work. The analysis can be conducted by developing energy composite ...
    • Process Integration Study of a Food Plant 
      Chao, P.; Tripathi, P. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1991-06)
      This paper presents the results of a recent process integration study by TENSA Services of a food plant. It shows the merit of pinch technology against the traditional wisdom in plant utility management. Through a ...
