The Cost of Heat Exchanger Fouling in the U. S. Industries
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Fouling of heat exchangers costs the
U.S. industries hundreds of millions of dollars every year in increased equipment costs, maintenance costs, energy losses and losses in production. The designer of heat exchangers ...
Natural Gas Procurement Challenges for a Project Financed Cogeneration Facility
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
A decision to project finance a 110
megawatt combined cycle cogeneration facility
in 1986 in place of conventional internal
financing greatly changed the way in which
natural gas was normally procured by
Union Carbide ...
Electronic Applications of High Temperature Superconductors
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
The possible uses of high temperature superconductors in
electronics applications are reviewed. There are applications for
which the high temperature operation of these novel materials is
a significant advantage; one ...
Texas Bulk Power Study-- An Overview
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
In the 1980's, several significant changes
have evolved in markets for electric power in
Texas. Cogeneration, fuel market volatility,
electric system reliability, generation and
transmission facility construction ...
The Impact of Heat Transfer Enhancement Techniques on Energy Savings in the U.S. Industry
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Since the mid-seventies, the manufacturing industries trend towards energy conservation has spurred both heat exchanger makers and users to try novel techniques for heat transfer enhancement. Augmentation techniques, applied ...
Repowering of the Midland Nuclear Station
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
The conversion of the Midland Nuclear
Station to a combined cycle power facility
is the first of its kind. The existing
nuclear steam turbine, combined with new,
natural-gas-fired gas turbines, will create
the largest ...
The Exergy Concept Beyond the Academic Environment
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
The lack of the adequate data base for
thermodynamic properties and the
computational burden of exergy analysis are
two major barriers to the second law
analysis of industrial processes. In this
paper the essential ...
Incineration of Residue from Paint Stripping Operations Using Plastic Media Blasting
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
A preliminary investigation has been performed
on the environmental consequences of incinerating
plastic-media-blasting (PHB) wastes from paint
removal operations. PHB is similar to sandblasting
although blasting takes ...
The Current and Future Marketplace for Waste-To-Energy Cogeneration Facilities in the United States
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
The emerging waste-to-energy marketplace within the United States is one with considerable opportunity and risk. The solid waste management crisis is resulting in record construction levels for waste-to-energy facilities ...
Operating Experience of the 20-MW AFBC Pilot Plant
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) took the
first major step toward utility-scale demonstration
of atmospheric fluidized bed combustion (AFBC) with
the construction and operation of the 20-MW AFBC
Pilot Plant. The ...
