Dr. Harrell's
primary activities center on providing technical assistance and
engineering support services to industry worldwide. This work focuses
on applied thermodynamics and takes the form of industrial process
energy assessments, specific process assessments, individual component
analysis, and short course presentations. The main emphasis of his
work is industrial energy management and applied thermodynamics in
the areas of boilers, steam systems, combined heat and power systems
(cogeneration), compressed air systems, and refrigeration systems.
Dr. Harrell
has also taught both classic engineering thermo-dynamics and applied
thermodynamics to graduate and undergraduate students in UT's Mechanical
Engineering Department.
Dr. Harrell
has traveled extensively and provided services to a large industry
base worldwide. He has completed projects in 17 countries on six continents
and in 28 of the United States. He has completed process energy assessments
in many industrial settings, including oil refineries, gas refineries,
paper mills, steel mills, aluminum mills, petrochemical facilities,
food processing plants, ship yards, textile mills, and fiber production
facilities, among others.
Outside
the office, Dr. Harrell enjoys family activities with his wife and
two children. Favorite activities include backpacking, camping, and
fly fishing.
