Understanding and Evaluating Extended Surfaces
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1990-06)
Extended surfaces are widely used in heat transfer equipment in power and process plants. While various types of extended surfaces are used in the industry, this paper will limit the discussions to the widely used ...
Electrical Energy and the Environment
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1990-06)
Electric energy is an integral element of today's economy and the standard quality of life. The availability of energy at an affordable cost has always been of basic concern because of the intimate relationship of energy ...
Treatment of Organic-Contaminated Wastewater by Pervaporation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1991-06)
The removal and recovery of organic contaminants from
aqueous streams by pervaporation membrane systems is a viable
and economical treatment for many waste streams. Specific
opportunities for the technology are identified ...
Development of Inexpensive Turbo Compressor/Expanders for Industrial Use
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1991-06)
Use of Turbo Compressor/ Expanders
(TCEs) as industrial reversed Brayton Cycle
Heat Pumps offers many technical and energy
saving advantages. Until recently, such
devices have been far too expensive in both
capital ...
The Public Utility and Industry: A Customer- Supplier Relationship for Long-Term Survival
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1990-06)
The entire country is undergoing a significant change in customer attitide toward services and products. This change is geared toward a quality service/ product for the least cost. Industry and the utility sector need to ...
Optimizing Cooling Tower Performance- Refrigeration Systems, Chemical Plants, and Power Plants all Have A Resource Quietly Awaiting Exploitation-Cold Water!!
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1990-06)
Cooling towers, because of their seeming
simplicity, are usually orphans of the facilities
operation. We are all aware that cooling towers
are the step-children of the chemical process
plant, electric power generating ...
Design And Retrofit Of A Low Solidity Diffuser For A Pipeline Centrifugal Gas Compressor Application.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
A high efficiency, single-stage pipeline centrifugal gas
compressor, originally designed with a wedge-type vaned diffuser,
was retrofitted with a vaneless diffuser along with two low solidity
diffuser configurations in ...
Application Of A Heat Barrier Sleeve To Prevent Synchronous Rotor Instability.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
This paper explains how synchronous rotor instability can occur
in high speed turbomachinery due to differential heating of bearing
journals. Theoretical investigations have indicated that rotors
supported by fluid-film ...
Turbine Instability Solution-Honeycomb Seals.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
A 40,000 hp steam turbine-generator in a utility service experienced a history of high vibration alarms and trips from an online vibration monitoring system. The excursions of high vibration restricted the operational load ...
The Design, Application, And Operation Of High Efficiency Turboexpanders In Process Plants.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
Turboexpander thermal efficiency is an important parameter in the process design of hydrogen purification plants. When a process requires low flow and high head, expander thermal efficiency can only be improved by increasing ...
