Miscellaneous electric loads: Characterization and energy savings potential

Electric Motor Remanufacturing and Energy Savings

Characterization of wax using potential energy and nanocalculation

Most reservoir fluids contain heavy paraffinic compounds that may precipitate as a solid or solid like material called wax if the fluid is cooled down. Wax precipitation is a phenomenon of considerable importance in oil industry. An increase in aggregation results in enhanced oil viscosity. This however causes significant negative effects on production, transportation and processing of crude oi...

Methods for detailed energy data collection of miscellaneous and electronic loads in a commercial office building

Miscellaneous and electronic loads (MELs) consume about 20% of the primary energy used in U.S. buildings, and this share is projected to increase for the foreseeable future. Our understanding, however, of which devices are most responsible for this energy use is still rudimentary due to the difficulty and expense of performing detailed studies on MELs and their energy use. In order to better un...

Characterization of Asphaltene Using Potential Energy and Nanocalculation

The basics of quantum mechanics and statistical thermodynamics were used to predict the potential energy and intermolecular forces of asphaltene molecules. The parameters associated with the chemical structure were also estimated for a specific asphaltene molecule to predict the Mie potential function. Based on the structural results, a new form of the Virial EOS with Peneloux correction wa...
