The Influence of Dust on the Absorptivity of Radiant Barriers
(1993-08)
The purpose of this project was to model and quantify the increase of the absorptivity of radiant barriers caused by the accumulation of dust on the surface of radiant barriers. This research was the continuation of a ...

$18.7 Million Paid From Savings Variable Load Mechanical Cogeneration Project at Louisiana State University
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
This paper provides a synopsis of the practical application of part-load cogeneration technology to a large university campus for providing new chilled water and steam requirements for expansion needs, and simultaneously ...
Location of Leaks in Pressure Testable Direct Burial Steam Distribution Conduits
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
Central steam is commonly distributed through direct burial lines protected by an outer conduit. These underground conduit systems are subject to electrolytic corrosion. Failure of the outer casing permits water intrusion ...
Demonstration of a Carbonate Fuel Cell on Coal Derived Gas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
Several studies indicate that carbonate fuel cell systems have the potential to offer efficient, cost competitive, and environmentally preferred power plants operating on natural gas or coal derived gas (“syn-gas”). To ...
Insertion Paddlewheel Flowmeters: An Evaluation After Two Years of Use
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
Insertion paddlewheel flowmeters were removed from field installations after 12 to 24 months of service for inspection and calibration. The tests were designed to identify meter degradation because of scale and debris on ...
Case Studies In Turbomachinery Operation And Maintenance Using Condition Monitoring.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1993)
With exceedingly high downtime costs and the need for efficient operation of turbo machinery, integrated condition monitoring, wherein a number of health parameters are analyzed, is becoming increasingly popular in process ...
Magnetic Bearing Retrofit Of A High Speed, Eight Stage Coker Compressor.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1993)
The design, integration, and implementation of a successful project to retrofit a high speed, eight stage centrifugal compressor with magnetic bearings and gas face seals is presented. The application is removal of light ...
Critical Speeds And The Importance Of Stiffness - A Case Study In The Design And Testing Of A Large Mechanical Drive Steam Turbine To API Standard 612.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1993)
Rotordynamics has long been one of the major considerations in the design of variable speed rotating equipment. Bearing support stiffness is a significant factor in the designer's ability to predict critical speeds and ...
