The Developer's Role in the Cogeneration Business
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Although cogeneration technology is well-established, the business is new and still taking shape. Cogeneration projects involve a diverse mix of organizations, including equipment suppliers, engineering and construction ...
Coal-Fired Fluidized Bed Combustion Cogeneration
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
The availability of an environmentally acceptable
multifuel technology, such as fluidized bed
combustion, has encouraged many steam producers/
users to investigate switching from oil or gas to
coal. Changes in federal ...
Industrial Heat Pumps: Appropriate Placement and Sizing Using the Grand Composite
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Correct thermodynamic placement of heat pumps
is a necessary condition for optimality. The most
sophisticated equipment designs can do very little to
improve the cost-effectiveness of inappropriately
placed heat pumps. ...
Degradation of Materials in Combustion Environments
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Degradation mechanisms in conventional refratories, structural ceramics, and metallic alloys were revealed by examination of materials exposed to industrial and synthetic flue gases. Deterioration of refractory oxides and ...
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 ...
An Integrated Approach to Evaluating the Technical and Commercial Options for Cogeneration Facilities in the Process Industry
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Cogeneration under the PURPA law is providing opportunity to the Process Industry not only to conserve fuel and electric costs associated with commercial process production, but effectively to share in the revenue from the ...
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 ...
