Motivating People to Conserve Energy--Energy Conservation Education
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Energy is not saved merely by the installation of sophisticated computers, elaborate process equipment or wonder gadgets. Energy is saved or lost by the people who turn the valves that consume energy. The first step in any ...
Smokeless Control of Flare Steam Flow Rate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
API 931 Chapter 15 is briefly reviewed to outline the importance and problems of smokeless control of refining and petrochemical flare steam flow rate. A unique mass flow meter is described, together with application ...
Crude Distillation Unit Heat Recovery Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Baytown's Pipe Still 3 is a 95,000 barrel per day crude distillation unit. A comprehensive heat recovery and energy utilization study was done on Pipe Still 3 after a preliminary cursory study had indicated that an overall ...
