The Influence of Availability Costs on Optimal Heat Exchanger Size
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
Optimizing heat exchangers based on second
law rather than first law considerations
ensures that the most efficient use of
available energy is being made. Techniques
for second-law optimizing heat exchangers
have been ...
Microcomputers in Process Control
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Computers have been extensively used for
process control and optimization since the
1970's. Many articles have been published
documenting the benefits of computer control; and
in general, energy savings of 5% or greater ...
Optimizing Power Factor Correction
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
The optimal investment for power factor
correcting capacitors for Kansas Power and Light
Company large power contract customers is studied.
Since the billing capacity is determined by
dividing the real demand by the ...
Optimization of Cooling Water
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
A cooling water system can be optimized by operation at the highest possible cycles of concentration without risking sealing and fouling on heat exchanger surfaces. The way to optimize will be shown, with a number of ...
An Approach to Plantwide Optimization
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
Optimization of individual processing
units as well as the energy systems has become
common place in the processing industries
(Ref. 1,2). Typically such optimizations are
done piecemeal, with heavy reliance on ...
ICI's Approach to Total Energy Savings on Ethylene Plants
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
Recent technological developments have led to the creation of the rigorous simulation models for ethylene plants which can be run in concert with advanced, thermodynamic “pinch” procedures. This new approach enables ...
