(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)The selection of heat and power systems usually does not include a thorough analysis of the process heating, cooling and power requirements. In most cases, these process requirements are accepted as specifications ...
-
(2019-07-17)The sustainable development of the entire world is confronting considerable challenges due to the tremendous expansion in energy demand that synchronizes with fresh water scarcity, vast depletion of conventional energy ...
-
(2009-05-15)This work is aimed at development of systematic approaches to the design of multiscale systems. Specifically four problems are addressed: environmental impact assessment (EIA) of new and retrofitted industrial processes, ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1991-06)With increasing concern to reduce the emission of SOx, NOx and CO2, there is a growing awareness of making most industrial processes more energy efficient. It is believed that this can be achieved through collaborative ...
-
(2009-06-02)Much research in the area of process integration has focused on steady-state processes. However, there are many process units that are inherently unsteady-state or perform best when operated in an unsteady-state manner. ...
-
(2020-04-23)As the global population reached more than 7.7 billion, the needs for better living conditions and industrialization have grown rapidly all over the world. As the result, the consumption of natural resources has risen ...

(2011-02-22)This work focused upon design and operation of biodiesel production facilities in support of the broader goal of developing a strategic approach to the development of biorefineries. Biodiesel production provided an appropriate ...
-
(2017-07-14)Around 36 gigatonnes of CO₂ are released into the atmosphere every year. Mitigation of CO₂ emissions is essential in reducing the rising level of greenhouse gas emissions and associated climate change. Calcium Looping ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)The very first flow sheet for a new plant arises when a number of unit operations are put together in a well defined sequence. From economic point of view, however, it is normally not attractive to build and to run such a ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)Over the last five years, significant energy savings have been achieved by several international companies using the pinch concept for heat integration. New concepts are now being added to help the designer deal with capital ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Throughout the process industry, the conservation and allocation of mass and energy resources plays a pivotal role in the site wide optimization of a plant. Typically, raw materials are transformed into products, byproducts ...
-
(2014-12-02)With the tightening of the crude oil supply-demand gap, interest in energy independence, and global climate change concerns, attention has been directed to finding alternatives to crude oil. In particular, efforts have ...
-
(2012-02-14)With the escalating levels of water demand, there is a need for expansion in the capacity of water desalination infrastructure and for better management and distribution of water resources. This dissertation introduces a ...
