The Utilization of Air Borne Ultrasonics for Energy Conservation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
The goal of energy conservation is not to reduce productive capacity in order to prudently manage expensive and finite resources. The use of ultrasonic technology in the detection of energy loss can be very cost effective ...
Thermal Energy Storage/Waste Heat Recovery Applications in the Cement Industry
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
The cement industry is the most energy-intensive industry in the United States in terms of energy cost as a percentage of the product according to a 1973 report by the Cost of Living Council. Martin Marietta Aerospace, ...
Organic Rankine Cycles for the Petro-Chemical Industry
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Under a cooperatively funded DOE/MTI program, a packaged organic Rankine power recovery system is being developed specifically to meet the needs of the petroleum refining and chemical industries. Program objectives include ...
Effective Energy Management Through Better Operator Training
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
A majority of the energy conservation programs in the chemical process industry aims at gaining cooperation and motivation from the operators or technicians. These programs are useful but they seem to lack an important ...
Reduction of Hydrocarbon Losses to Flare Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
In the past, refineries and petrochemical plants have emphasized the need to prevent and minimize major hydrocarbon releases to the flare. Although these are given a great deal of attention, the normal daily hydrocarbon ...
Selecting Fractionators for Product Composition Control
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
The benefits resulting from computer control of fractionators have been proven in many installations. These benefits include energy savings, increased throughput, higher recovery product upgrade and smoother operation. As ...
Industrial Energy Auditing - A Short Course for Engineers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
This paper describes an intensive five day short course, directed toward engineers currently working in industry, which provides the participants with the rudiments of industrial energy auditing. Experience has shown that ...
Practical Considerations For A Rated Speed Shop Balance
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1978)
The increasing availability of high speed balancing facilities requires the manufacturer and/or ultimate user to seriously consider a rates speed rotor balance. In addition, the development of the "influence coefficient" ...
Particular Problems Of Steam Turbine Lubrication
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1978)
The reliability of a steam turboset is dependent, among other things, on correct functioning of its hydraulic lubrication and control system. An essential requirement is a reliable oil supply over the whole operating range. ...
Subsynchronous Vibration In A Large Water Flood Pump
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1978)
In 1973 Aramco embarked on a large water flood projects for the Ghawar oil reservoir. After approximately 1 year in service three of the 16 X 16 X 20 2-stage DVMF pumps developed a severe shaft vibration of over 20 mils ...
