Energy study of railroad freight transportation. Volume 2. Industry description

Description: The United States railroad industry plays a key role in transporting materials to support our industrial economy. One of the oldest industries in the US, the railroads have developed over 150 years into their present physical and operational configuration. Energy conservation proposals to change industry facilities, equipment, or operating practices must be evaluated in terms of their cost impact. A current, comprehensive and accurate data baseline of railroad economic activity and energy consu… more

Energy study of railroad freight transportation. Volume 4. Efficiency improvements and industry future

Description: Railroad equipment and operating practices were largely developed in an era during which the price of fuel was a relatively minor part of the cost of railroad operations; however, fuel has now become a scarce and expensive resource. Although many opportunities exist for installing new equipment and operating practices that will result in fuel conservation, cost and market factors can promote or retard the rate at which changes are adopted, and only limited technology may be available for use in… more

Effect of reduced boiler water temperature on cycle efficiency

Description: Tests were performed on a ''typical'' residential hot water boiler to evaluate the energy saving potential of reduced boiler water temperature. A significant reduction of annual fuel consumption was determined based on detailed efficiency measurements combined with the BNL Seasonal Performance Evaluation Computational Program. The energy saving has been attributed to reduced off-cycle heat losses resulting from the lower boiler operating temperature.

Aircraft towing feasibility study. Final report

Description: Energy costs and availability are major concerns in most parts of the world. Many ways of increasing energy supply and reducing consumption are being proposed and investigated. One that holds considerable promise is the extended towing of aircraft between airport runways and terminal gate areas with engines shut down. This study provides a preliminary assessment of the constraints on and feasibility of extended aircraft towing. Past aircraft towing experience and the state-of-the-art in towing … more

Near term hybrid passenger vehicle development program. Phase I. Appendices A and B. Final report

Description: In this report vehicle use patterns or missions are defined and studied. The three most promising missions were found to be: all-purpose city driving which has the maximum potential market penetration; commuting which requires mainly a two-passenger car; and family and civic business driving which have minimal range requirements. The mission selection process was based principally on an analysis of the travel patterns found in the Nationwide Transportation Survey and on the Los Angeles and Wash… more

Manufacturing fuel-switching capability, 1988

Description: Historically, about one-third of all energy consumed in the United States has been used by manufacturers. About one-quarter of manufacturing energy is used as feedstocks and raw material inputs that are converted into nonenergy products; the remainder is used for its energy content. During 1988, the most recent year for which data are available, manufacturers consumed 15.5 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) of energy to produce heat and power and to generate electricity. The manufacturing … more
