The aim of process integration is to increase the efficiency and to reduce the energy consumption, operating costs and CO 2 emissions of an industrial process. The proposed methodology is applied to a real case study of a cheese factory with non-simultaneo ...
The digestive tract plays a central role in the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Far from being a passive tube, it provides the first line of defense against pathogens and maintains energy homeostasis by exchanging neuronal and endocrine signals with ...

Energy geostructures are foundations equipped with absorber pipes, exchanging heat with the surrounding ground. They provide a good heat source for the heating and cooling of buildings but the temperature variations they undergo bring new challenges. Therm ...
The concept studied in this work is a low power ORC-ORC heat pump system (providing about 20 kW heat at the condenser) and that is composed of an ORC power cycle driving a reversed ORC heat pump cycle, both cycles using the same fluid. The centrifugal comp ...
In this master thesis report the development of an innovative spiral heat exchanger based on polymer materials is described. Building prototypes, erection of a test bench and firsts tests of the heat exchanger are presented. The heat exchanger prototype su ...
Thermal designers of data centers and server manufacturers are showing a greater concern regarding the cooling of the new generation data centers, which consume considerably more electricity and dissipate much more waste heat, a situation that is creating ...
This memorandum provides alternate estimates of the critical additional resistance Radd of the 13 kA superconducting bus bars interconnections (IC), both for the LHC main bending (MB) dipole and main quadrupole (MQ) magnets. The calculations are performed ...
In tropical and subtropical regions, air-conditioning is employed throughout the year, which poses a significant challenge to the designer in reducing its energy consumption. Buildings in these regions would have latent load that is large enough throughout ...
In view of the R&D program on HTS CL at EPFL-CRPP PSI Villigen it is foreseen to extend the capabilities of an existing facility (JORDI) in order to be able to perform tests of HTS CL in different conditions. The present work is focused on the conceptual d ...
