    • Effect of Combustion Air Preheat on a Forged Furnace Productivity 
      Ward, M. E.; Bohn, J.; Davis, S. R.; Knowles, D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      A basic thermal analysis of a gas fired forge furnace can determine the fuel savings from exhaust energy recovery/combustion air preheat on a furnace operating at a single condition, for example, high fire. What this ...
    • The Effect of Variable Quality Fuels on Cogeneration Plant Performance 
      Ahner, D. J.; Oliva, J. J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
      The variable energy characteristics of solid wastes, biomass and other low grade fuels, when utilized in cogeneration applications, introduce several additional plant design considerations. The effects of longer term ...
    • An Effective EMS Hardware and Software Interface- The Trained Operator 
      Cherry, C. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
