Predicting Steam Turbine Performance
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Tracking the performance of extraction, back-pressure
and condensing steam turbines is a crucial
part of minimising energy and maintenance costs for
large process industries. A thorough understanding
of key equipment ...
Application of Cogeneration to Small Commercial Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
Co-generation is sometimes defined as a customer owned, electrical generating system capable of feeding power back into the Electric Utility lines for compensation.
For a long time, the Electric Utility Companies took ...
Making Training Effective
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
Several years ago, a training session was being held at an electric generating plant in the Midwest. One of the subjects covered in the session was steamline drain traps. One of the trainees checked several of the steam ...
