(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)Currently accepted methods of passive cooling offset only sensible building loads. In the warm, humid southeastern gulf coast climates the latent building load can comprise 35% of the building load in the typical residence. ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)Brief reviews of available energy and of the application of available energy analysis to chemical processes are given. Two alternative methods for performing available energy calculations are discussed and contrasted. The ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-04)Texas is among the states with the highest potential for cogeneration. Currently, 3,121 MW of cogenerated power supplies more than ten percent of the energy needs of ERCOT under firm contracts. This paper summarizes ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)Electric rate structures can be used to provide customers with the proper pricing signals as well as provide economic incentives for increased market penetration for energy efficient new buildings. An innovative, marginal ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)Many large industrial consumers of electricity purchase power through special interruptible contracts or curtailable tariffs. Historically, the number of actual interruptions has been very small -many interruptible consumers ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)The two main refrigeration compressor strings at Tangguh LNG are highly dependent on each other during operation: A cascading trip can happen within seconds. This case study focuses on how to keep either string online when ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)Pump reliability problems are responsible for a large amount of the maintenance budget and lost-opportunity cost at chemical plants, refineries, and many electric utilities. This tutorial outlines the typical reasons for ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)In order to meet the increased expectations of building occupants, designers must be aware of the conflicts between first cost economics, occupant productivity and life cycle costs. Cost savings measures have resulted in ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)Energy awareness concepts were incorporated as part of a plant energy survey and played a major part in the followup program. Plant manager support was received and multi-disciplinary task group was established to review ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1992)Axial air compressors have seen increased service in various applications over the years, mainly because of the axial compressor's high operating efficiency, which can be 85 to 90 plus percent. The design of the aerodynamic ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)Turbomachinery shafting and casings typically experience axial growth during thermal transients occurring at startup, shutdown, and changes of load. This growth does not usually present difficulties during operation. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2006)Gas turbine performance deterioration can be a major economic factor. An example is within offshore installations where a degradation of gas turbine performance can mean a reduction of oil and gas production. This paper ...
