Development of the GE Quiet Combustor and Other Design Changes to Benefit Air Quality
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
The attractiveness of gas turbines in cogeneration facilities and combined-cycle (Brayton-Rankine) power plants is linked to high specific work; power per unit mass flow. Manufacturers have, over the years, increased gas ...
Plantwide Energy Management for Hydrocarbon and Petrochemical Industry
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Within the hydrocarbon and petrochemical industry the
generation and utilization of various forms of energy is a highly
complex and dynamic process. The process plant normally
generates steam and fuel in the form of ...
Emissions Resulting from the Full-Scale Cofiring of Pelletized Refuse-Derived Fuel and Coal
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Full-scale cofiring tests of binder-enhanced pellets of densified, refuse-derived fuel (dRDF) and high-sulfur coal were conducted during June and July of 1987 in Boiler #5 at Argonne National Laboratory. These tests were ...
Experiences with On-Line STEAMPOP
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Off-line utility system optimizers for
large process plants are now common place. However, the use of these optimizers
for operations optimization is usually limited
by the need for trained personnel to run these
programs ...
How One Utility is Using Pinch Technology as a Marketing Tool
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
The electric utility industry is moving from a so-called natural monopoly into an era of competition, at least in the generation of power and for service to large industrial loads. Utilities are taking a different approach ...
Modeling On-Site Utility Systems Using "APLUS"
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Most energy saving schemes on
industrial sites lead to reductions in
the steam and/or power demands on an
on-site utility system. Accurate
knowledge of the marginal and
incremental costs of the available
levels of ...
An Application of State-Of-The-Art HVAC and Building Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
This case study describes the successful
application of state-of-the-art HVAC and building
systems at a large commercial office and industrial
facility. The facility's exterior envelope systems,
HVAC systems, lighting ...
A Study on the Failure of Industrial Electric Heater
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
The break down mechanism of a cylindrical electric heater is investigated by studying the uneven heating behavior of the heater by measuring the surface temperature variation of the heater when it is subjected to a boundary ...
Removing the Entropy Screen- To Let the Second Law Show
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
What we shape is what we see. When we try to
shape something without seeing it clearly, the
probability of achieving a happy result is low.
When we talk about "saving energy" what we usually
mean is "not wasting work". ...
Identifying Energy Systems that Maximize Cogeneration Savings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
This paper discusses the maximizing of Regional Cogeneration Energy Savings utilizing various technologies and fuels within a given service region. A methodology is developed to establish the allocation of power to the ...
