Separation of CO2 and TFE by using diethanolamine and diisopropylamine
Muhammad Salman, Elia Mercedes Ruiz Pachon
The near-azeotrope mixture of TFE and CO2 is an important concern urging the scientific community to develop new ways for TFE/CO2 separations. In this work, for the first time, Diisopropylamine (DIPA) and Diethanolamine (DEA) are used as solvents for separ ...
Philadelphia2024On reducing the number of decision variables for dynamic optimization
Dominique Bonvin, Diogo Filipe Mateus Rodrigues
This paper presents an input parameterization for dynamic optimization that allows reducing the number of decision variables compared to traditional direct methods. A small number of decision variables is likely to be beneficial for various applications su ...
2019Exergetic, environmental and economic assessment of sugarcane first-generation biorefineries
First generation ethanol (1G) contributes to the majority of the ethanol produced worldwide, predominantly centered on corn and sugarcane. Nevertheless, several issues are regularly highlighted concerning the long-term sustainability of this technology, in ...
WARSAW UNIV TECHNOLOGY, INST HEAT ENGINEERING2019Xenon Recovery at Room Temperature using Metal-Organic Frameworks
Xenon is known to be a very efficient anesthetic gas, but its cost prohibits the wider use in medical industry and other potential applications. It has been shown that Xe recovery and recycling from anesthetic gas mixtures can significantly reduce its cost ...
Wiley-Blackwell2017El camino no es el camino. Some reflexions on the Valparaiso School and its architectural teaching
Patricia Guaita, Cornelia Dominique Tapparelli Portilla Kawamura
The teaching of architecture at the School of Architecture and Design at the Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaiso (the Valparaiso School) has very often been described as ‘very unusual’. One of the most exceptional and most often remarked upon aspe ...
EPFL Press2015Towards practical solutions for energy efficiency of large-scale industrial sites
This thesis investigates a set of advanced topics inspired from the heat integration and the pinch technology, all tied around the challenge of identifying energy savings in large-scale chemical industrial plants. In search for a general-purpose methodolog ...
EPFL2015Optimal energy dissipation in growing microorganisms and rectification columns
This paper proposes a new point of view in analyzing the optimal Gibbs energy dissipation in growing microorganisms. Small Gibbs energy dissipation in growth would be of biological advantage because less resource is consumed and the biomass yield on these ...
De Gruyter2014Role of total site integration in energy-target modification of distillation columns
François Maréchal, Nasibeh Pouransari
This paper investigates the energy efficiency improvement of an industrial site through thermodynamic analysis of distillation columns together with the total site integration (TSI). Unlike the existing methods which consider the distillation unit exclusiv ...
Elsevier2014Efficient Sample Mining for Object Detection
François Fleuret, Olivier Canévet
We propose a novel approach to efficiently select informative samples for large-scale learning. Instead of directly feeding a learning algorithm with a very large amount of samples, as it is usually done to reach state-of-the-art performance, we have devel ...
