Human Factors Aspects of Advanced Process Control
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Energy conservation practices, such as heat recovery and
integration, require that many chemical and related processes
use advanced control systems.
Many of the more advanced process control strategies and
algorithms ...
The Thermodynamics of Energy Conservation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
This paper is part of a session dealing with
the fundamentals of energy conservation.
The paper is intended to be a tutorial for
engineers who have not been trained in thermodynamics,
or have not practiced recently
and ...
Steam Turbines for Critical Applications and Emergency or Standby Drives
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Steam turbines are frequently preferred over electric motors where operational continuity is important. This often imposes extreme premiums in operating cost. The parameters affecting relative economics are explored and a ...
Screw Type Steam Compressors for Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
In processes of evaporation,
distillation or drying, steam is used at
different pressure and temperature levels.
Such processes are found in the chemical,
pulp/paper, fiber and several similar
industries. These ...
Variable Frequency Pump Drives
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Variable frequency drive represents a major
milestone in the evolution of centrifugal pumps and
their application. The fundamentals of variable
speed centrifugal pump operation are reviewed, then
the advantages and ...
Is There A Conflict Between Efficiency and Health?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
The possibility that serious health
hazards may be caused by buildings and their
mechanical systems has recently become a
major issue, now being popularized as "sick
building syndrome." An increasingly
widespread ...
New Developments in Storage and Handling of Biomass
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
An extensive research project to derive
guidelines for the design of a reliable
bin-feeder system for biomass materials has been
completed. The new system uses a converging
mass flow hopper with a much smaller outlet ...
The Role of the UK Energy Efficiency Office
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Last year the United Kingdom spent some £37bn on
energy. Analysis of energy use, through extensive
studies such as the Energy Efficiency Office's
"Energy Use and Energy Efficiency in UK
Manufacturing Industry up to the ...
Building Profits and Goodwill in the Wood Product Industry with Time-Of-Use Rates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
With today's utility regulatory climate and
sky-rocketing construction costs, electric
utilities across the U.S. are searching for
alternatives to building generating plants.
One of the alternatives used by Carolina
Power ...
A Compressed Air Reduction Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
The reason for implementing this program was to
assist the plant in quantifying some of its
leaks in the equipment throuqhout the plant and
to provide direction as to which leaks are
generating high utility costs. The ...
