Arkansas Industrial Energy Clearinghouse - Successes and Lessons Learned from Creation to Implementation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2011)
This paper shares the successes and lessons
learned during the development stage and first eight
months of the Arkansas Industrial Energy
Clearinghouse (ArkansasIEC). Through the state of
Arkansas via ARRA funding, the ...
Comparison Study of Energy Intensity in the Textile Industry: A Case Study in Five Textile Sub-sectors
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2011)
This paper contributes to the understanding of energy use in the textile industry by comparing the energy intensity of textile plants in five major sub-sectors, i.e. spinning, weaving, wet-processing, worsted fabric ...
Revitalization of a Steam Lab to Meet Energy Challenge and Strengthen Mechanical Engineering Education
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2011)
An 'old' and 'obsolete' boiler system was revitalized and an enhanced Steam Lab was established based on that system. In this project, modifications and improvements were made to the facility, which contains a 150 BHP ...
Integrating Gas Turbines with Cracking Heaters - Impact on Emissions and Energy Efficiency
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2011)
Turbine Exhaust Gas (TEG) contains high levels of
oxygen, typically 15 vol. percent, due to gas turbine blade
material temperature limits. As such it can be used as
an oxidant for combustion in cracking furnaces and
reformers. ...
