Some Thoughts On Avoiding Metallurgical Failures.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
Predicting potential problems that will ultimately lead to premature material related failures and implementing the necessary corrections during design, fabrication, and commissioning has long been recognized by some as ...
Recent Experiences In Full Load Full Pressure Shop Testing Of A High Pressure Gas Injection Centrifugal Compressor.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
The Use Of Engineering Thermoplastics For Centrifugal Compressor Labyrinths.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
The use of engineering thermoplastics is increasing rapidly in today's turbomachinery industry. The primary use of these thermoplastics has been as a material upgrade from aluminum for centrifugal compressor labyrinths. ...
False And Misleading Sources Of Vibration.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
Many false sources of "vibration" in rotating machinery of all types are described and discussed. The focus is on the practical distinction between actual vibration and spurious indications of vibration caused by problems ...
Novel Approaches to Conserve Energy in Textile Processing Through The Use Of Supercritical Fluids
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
The most energy intensive operation in textile processing, accounting for almost sixty percent of the industry wide consumption, is drying. Drying is prevalent because water is the carrier for dye, size, and other finishes. ...
Writing User-Friendly Energy Audit Reports
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
Energy audits don't save money and energy for companies unless the recommendations are implemented. Audit reports should be designed to encourage implementation, but often they impede it instead. In this paper, the authors ...
Financing; A Cost Effective Alternative When Upgrading Energy Efficient Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
In the 1990's, many organizations are attempting to do more, faster, with less cost and improved quality. In many cases, this involves improving the efficiency of their systems. Increased competition is creating pressure ...
The Impacts of Utility-Sponsored Demand-Side Management Programs on Industrial Electricity Consumers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
One of the most pressing issues in electric utility regulation today is the extent to which demand-side management (DSM) programs should be promoted by utilities. DSM refers to energy-efficiency or conservation measures, ...
Energy Philosophy in Prospective Petrochemical Projects
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
The process design of large, highly integrated and
energy-efficient petrochemical plants will depend
significantly on the local energy market. The
pricing, availability and possible offtakers for
steam, power and fuel ...
