(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)Pinch Technology studies across a broad spectrum of processes confirm that existing plants typically consume 15-40% more thermal energy than they should. Consequently, many cogeneration schemes have been based on ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)The problem of high bearing temperature is a frequent concern for most rotating machinery. In case of critical equipment such as critical compressors or turbines, its consequences could lead to total plant shut down and ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)The sub-synchronous vibration could be attributed to many causes such as gas-whirl, oil whirl, looseness and so on. To prevent sub-synchronous vibration, manufacturer analyzes stability during design stage. But field ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)As the usage of sealless pumps increases, so do the demands for journal bearing materials that can operate successfully through the thermal upsets that can take place in these pumps. Material specification literature is ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)The repair of a turbine-compressor-expander to improve its mechanical reliability is described. The machine is unique, with two open-faced centrifugal compressor impellers in the center, three steam turbine stages overhanging ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-08)This paper presents sustainable strategies for the design of a prototype sustainable housing complex in tropical climate that applies specifically to Haiti. The tropical climate zone is hot and humid with abundant rainfall ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)The use of variable frequency drives (VFD) in pumping applications with variable-duty requirements provides the user with a variety of benefits, including potentially significant energy savings and improved reliability ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1991-06)A methodology is provided for evaluating the impact of various demand-side management (DSM) options on industrial customers. The basic approach uses customer metered load profile data as a basis for the customer load ...

-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)This analysis was conducted to identify the energy cost savings from retrofitting Texas buildings with air-to-air ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) systems. This analysis applied ERV and psychrometric equations in a bin-type ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)In-service failures of process plant gas turbines can have major economic consequences in terms of repairs and downtime. Following such an incident, steps need to be taken to avoid a recurrence. This is best accomplished ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)This paper presents the verified results of a pump system optimization project at a major midwestern brewery. A 150-horsepower "sweet water" pump circulates a glycol/water solution to cool tanks of beer during fermentation. ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1986)Under extreme conditions, pumps may be required to withstand severe nozzle loads, which often exceed the API 610 specified values. To meet these requirements, pump mechanical behavior versus nozzle loads must be examined ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)This paper investigates the feasibility of off-grid, off-pipe housing in hot-humid and hot-arid climates in the U.S. The study aims to eliminate the need for non-renewable sources of energy and municipal water in residences ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)The purpose of this case study is to present an investigation of substantial damage to the rotor of a large centrifugal propane refrigeration compressor that is installed in an 800 MTPA Ethylene plant. After ten years of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1984)When a component fails prematurely, it is most important that an engineering evaluation be made of the loss. If one is alert enough to learn from past problems then "Experience gained is directly proportional to equipment ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)Solid particle admission is one of the principal damage and failure mechanisms in turbomachines such as gas turbines, axial, and centrifugal compressors. Significant interest exists within the turbomachinery industry to ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)The production and reliability performance of Steam Process Heaters can be significantly affected by the condensate drainage design that is employed. There are currently a variety of drainage options which can be confusing ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)Recently, considerable attention has been given to the phenomenon of surge in compressors and pumps. Typically, the model under study is a Helmholtz resonator and driver where the flow in the delivery duct to the resonator ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)This paper presents the analysis of the energy savings potential in K-5 schools in hot and humid climates. For the analysis, an existing K-5 school in Central Texas was selected as a case study school, and the building ...
