Heat Exchanger Fouling- Prediction, Measurement and Mitigation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
The U. S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Industrial Programs (OIP) sponsors the development of innovative heat exchange systems. Fouling is a major and persistent cost associated with most industrial heat exchangers ...
Utility System Simulation: A Nonlinear Approach
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Computer simulation of plant utility systems allows an
engineer to rapidly 1) analyze operation changes, 2) analyze
design changes, and 3) optimize the steam/electric system
for the lowest operating cost. MESA (Modular ...

development of a versatile and powerful ...
Building a Positive Base for Industry/Utility Interaction
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
The relationship between independent power producers and utilities is a tenuous one with each side struggling to determine the appropriate role protecting its particular interests. The task is complicated by the evolving ...
Monitoring Energy Losses
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Industrial power plants using fossil fuel to produce process steam and electrical energy must be operated at peak efficiency to minimize production costs. Monitoring the power plant operation sometimes takes second place ...
