Electric Rate Alternatives to Cogeneration
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
This paper discusses electric rate
alternatives to cogeneration for the industrial
customer and attempts to identify the effects on
the utility company, the industrial customer as
well as remaining customers. It is ...
A Unified and Integrated Energy Management System for HVAC Spaces and Power House
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
This paper describes a totally integrated energy
management system throughout the plant and facilities.
The equipment involves: the power plant (boilers,
cogeneration turbines, chillers); HVAC of buildings; air
handling ...
Why Condensing Steam Turbines are More Efficient than Gas Turbines
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Consider the following questions:
1. Which is bigger, a nickel or a dime?
2. Which weighs more?
3. Which is worth more?
The answers are obvious: a nickel is bigger and it weighs
more, but a dime is worth more. So size ...
Recent Developments in High Temperature Superconductivity
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
New material systems and the experimental
progress of high temperature superconductivity are
briefly reviewed. We examine both oxides and non-oxides
which exhibit stable and/or unstable
superconductivity at high temperatures.
An Evaluation of the Impact of Surface Coatings on the Heat Transfer in High Temperature Ceramic Recuperators
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Engineering ceramics, particularly
silicon carbide (SiC), are increasingly
being used as materials in high temperature
recuperators for preheating combustion
air from furnace exhaust gases. As
typical flue gases from ...
Advanced Burners and Combustion Controls for Industrial Heat Recovery Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
When recuperators are installed on industrial
furnaces, burners and ratio control
systems must continue to operate reliably
under a wider range of conditions. Most
currently available hot air burners use
dilution air ...
Superconductive Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) System Studies for Electrical Utility at Wisconsin
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Two-layer low aspect ratio rippled and non-rippled
solenoids mounted in surface trenches are
described for superconductive magnetic energy
storage utility applications. Open pool cooling in
superfluid helium provides ...
Testimony of the Council on Superconductivity for American Competitiveness before Texas A&M Univeristy
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Good morning. My name is Kevin Ott. I
am executive director of the Council on
Superconductivity for American
Competitiveness (CSAC), located in
Washington, DC.
CSAC is a private, non-profit
association of small and ...
Second Law Analysis for Process and Energy Engineering: Use in a Steam/Power Cycle
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
The objective of this paper is to demonstrate how the use of
the 2nd Law can help an engineer make intelligent process
design decisions in a relatively simple and straightforward
manner. A sensitivity to 2nd Law ...
Bulk Power Transmission Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1988-09)
"Texans now have a choice. We can become more efficient and maintain our standard of living, or we can continue business as usual and watch our standard of living erode from competition from other regions. In the past, ...
