Design And Operation Of Pumps For Hot Standby Service
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Pump thermal distortion problems routinely arise in refinery applications where hot fluids must be handled. This is particularly the case when warming up standby pumps. The single stage, double suction configuration, which ...
High Head-Low Flow Centrifugal Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Centrifugal pumps that fall into a category defined as high head, low flow pumps are discussed. A brief history of these pump types is presented. The principle of operation and performance envelope are addressed. Comparative ...
Electric Energy Application of the New Superconductors
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1988-09)
Electricity has been the major energy form enabling many of the significant technological breakthroughs of this century. While radical changes have occurred in how electricity is used, the underlying materials used in ...
Programs of the Governor's Energy Management Center
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
The 70th Texas Legislature transferred the Energy Efficiency Division of the Public Utility Commission to the Governor's Office in September 1987 and directed the Governor's Energy Management Center (GEMC) to perform energy ...
Energy Data Collection and Metering in Texas State Agencies
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
The State of Texas is probably the largest
utility consumer in Texas. Each year, more than 130
separate agencies purchase some form of energy
(electricity, natural gas, steam, and hot or chilled
water). Annual energy bills ...
Analysis of Energy Efficiency Measures in Rehabilitation of Multifamily Housing Units
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
An apartment building in Austin, Texas, and
one in Boston, Massachusetts, were analyzed to
determine the cost-effectiveness of energy
efficiency measures. To determine expected energy
and cost savings resulting from a set ...
Applying the Leap Experience to Monitoring of Commercial Buildings in Hot and Humid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
Energy use monitoring projects for commercial buildings must be carefully configured and
managed to assure useful data products are
produced in a timely and cost-effective manner.
Many challenges associated with site ...
Field Validation of the ASHRAI Transfer Function Method for Calculating Cooling Load
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating
and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Transfer
Function Method (TFM) was validated using two
identical wood frame residential-type structures,
each containing an east and ...
Residential Energy Code Technical Support: Training that Works for Enforcement Personnel
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
Comprehensive enforcement of residential state energy codes depends upon well designed and accessible technical support programs. This paper will explore the challenges of technical program development and delivery, and ...
Effect of Surface Mass on Roof Thermal Performance
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
The roof of a building is exposed to the most
severe environment that is experienced by any
component of a building envelope. Diurnal peak
surface temperatures of 140 to 185 °F are not
uncommon. The addition of thermal ...
