Energy Value vs. Energy Cost: A Fundamental Concept of Economics Applied to Cogeneration
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
The application of energy in its various forms to industrial operations nearly always involves a cost. The cost seldom equals the true value of the energy involved. In some instances, the value is many times the cost and, ...
The Use of Electricity in Industry and Energy Saving - The Gamma Co-Efficient
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Use of electricity in manufacturing processes is not only limited to its specific utilizations as motion power, lighting, electrolysis. Worldwide energy troubles involve in France a great voluntee to substitute in industrial ...
Cogeneration Assessment Methodology for Utilities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
A methodology is presented that enables electric utilities to assess the cogeneration potential among industrial, commercial, and institutional customers within the utility's service area. The methodology includes a survey ...
Improved Heat Transfer and Performance of High Intensity Combustion Systems for Reformer Furnace Applications
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Developments over the past fifteen years have evolved new short flame, high intensity (1,000,000 BTU/HR/ft3 ) combustion systems for industrial uses. Such systems produce a more uniform and higher heat flux than conventional ...
Evaluating Utility Costs from Cogeneration Facilities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
This paper describes the method of calculation of incremental costs of steam, condensate, feedwater and electricity produced by the industrial cogeneration plant. (This method can also be applied to other energy production ...
Practical Application of Second Law Efficiency Analysis
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Slowly but surely the direct application of the Second Law of Thermodynamics is being recognized, for its practical usefulness in engineering. This paper will describe the methods, and show the results of applications to ...
Canned Motor And Magnetically Coupled Pumps - Applications, Operations, And Maintenance In A Chemical Plant
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
The environmental requirements that drive chemical producers to move more and more to the use of the “sealless” pump are described. The development of the sealless pumps in the European industrial community and their ...

Design And Testing Of A Zero-Net Radial Taper, Radially Compliant Face Seal
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
Conventional seal designs, the net radial taper changes with operating conditions so that contact is not always maintained across their entire width and leakage can occur. The “zero-net” face seal combines two ideas to ...
Heat Loss Measurement Using Infrared Imaging
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Infrared thermography has proven to be an important tool in numerous plant maintenance and energy conservation applications. Quantitative measurement, using infrared imaging instruments, is a powerful new dimension of ...
