Linear Program to Select Energy Conservation Projects in an Existing Facility
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Linear Programming is a mathematical optimization tool which has been widely used in the chemical and petrochemical industries for scheduling, product planning and utility system optimization. In an energy audit of a ...
Liquid-Liquid Extraction Processes
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Liquid-liquid extraction is the separation of one or more components of a liquid solution by contact with a second immiscible liquid called the solvent. If the components in the original liquid solution distribute themselves ...
Leasing - An Innovative Way to Finance Energy Conservation Improvements
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Leasing represents an attractive method of raising 100% of the cost of capital goods and equipment and of obtaining the use of capital goods and equipment over long periods of time for relatively low periodic payments. ...
Energy Accounting in Shared Savings Programs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
As shared savings programs have become an increasingly popular way of funding energy conservation measures, several techniques have been devised to calculate the rate of return for both owner and investor.
Energy consumption ...
Cogeneration - A Utility Perspective
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Cogeneration has become an extremely popular subject when discussing conservation and energy saving techniques. One of the key factors which effect conservation is the utility viewpoint on PURPA and cogeneration rule making. ...
Theories of Motivation -- Borrowing the Best
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
The paper briefly reviews five approaches to motivation-Maslow's Need Hierarchy Theory, Herzberg's Dual-Factor Theory, Locke's Goal-Setting Theory, Expectancy/Valence Theory, and Reinforcement Theory. On the basis of the ...
Energy Saving Through High Frequency Electric Resistance Welding
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
High-Frequency electric resistance heating systems have been widely used for many years for both welding and heat treating. In the past the major reason for using High-Frequency heating processes has been because of their ...
Managing the Steam Trap Population
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
With a Steam Trap Management Program a plant can expect to achieve a 95% performance level. This is minimally a 30% improvement above the industry norm in North America. The average industrial plant has a 58% performance ...
Energy Management - Using Steam Pressure Efficiently
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Saturated steam contains heat in two different forms. Sensible heat and latent heat. Due to the nature of this vapor, the relative proportion of latent heat is higher at lower pressures compared to higher pressures. When ...
Condensate System Troubleshooting and Optimization
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Condensate is steam that has cooled and condensed as a result of doing work (such as heating a process or building, or driving a turbine). The purpose of this paper is to outline benefits, guidelines, and potential problem ...
