Why Condensing Steam Turbines are More Efficient than Gas Turbines
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Consider the following questions:
1. Which is bigger, a nickel or a dime?
2. Which weighs more?
3. Which is worth more?
The answers are obvious: a nickel is bigger and it weighs
more, but a dime is worth more. So size ...
Recent Developments in High Temperature Superconductivity
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
New material systems and the experimental
progress of high temperature superconductivity are
briefly reviewed. We examine both oxides and non-oxides
which exhibit stable and/or unstable
superconductivity at high temperatures.
An Evaluation of the Impact of Surface Coatings on the Heat Transfer in High Temperature Ceramic Recuperators
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Engineering ceramics, particularly
silicon carbide (SiC), are increasingly
being used as materials in high temperature
recuperators for preheating combustion
air from furnace exhaust gases. As
typical flue gases from ...
Advanced Burners and Combustion Controls for Industrial Heat Recovery Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
When recuperators are installed on industrial
furnaces, burners and ratio control
systems must continue to operate reliably
under a wider range of conditions. Most
currently available hot air burners use
dilution air ...
Superconductive Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) System Studies for Electrical Utility at Wisconsin
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Two-layer low aspect ratio rippled and non-rippled
solenoids mounted in surface trenches are
described for superconductive magnetic energy
storage utility applications. Open pool cooling in
superfluid helium provides ...
Testimony of the Council on Superconductivity for American Competitiveness before Texas A&M Univeristy
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Good morning. My name is Kevin Ott. I
am executive director of the Council on
Superconductivity for American
Competitiveness (CSAC), located in
Washington, DC.
CSAC is a private, non-profit
association of small and ...
Second Law Analysis for Process and Energy Engineering: Use in a Steam/Power Cycle
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
The objective of this paper is to demonstrate how the use of
the 2nd Law can help an engineer make intelligent process
design decisions in a relatively simple and straightforward
manner. A sensitivity to 2nd Law ...
Bulk Power Transmission Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1988-09)
"Texans now have a choice. We can become more efficient and maintain our standard of living, or we can continue business as usual and watch our standard of living erode from competition from other regions. In the past, ...
Energy Management of Steam Distribution Systems Through Energy Audits and Computerized Reporting Programs
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1988-09)
"This presentation will highlight the economic losses associated with steam distribution systems and how to establish good energy management programs to reduce energy cost by 15 to 25 percent.
Recognizing energy losses ...
Current Practical Applications of the Second Law of Thermodynamics
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1988-09)
The objectives of this paper are first, to summarize the kind of activity that has been going on since 1980 in the application of the Second Law to practical problems and second, to draw some evaluation of the direction ...
