From the standpoint of an energetically and economically efficient waste elimination, the design and operation of optimized incineration power plants with the cogeneration of electricity and heat has become today an important issue. Decision models develop ...
A new flow boiling model and generalized correlation are presented for evaporation inside of horizontal microfin tubes. The enhancement model incorporates the effects of the microfins on liquid-phase convection and nucleate boiling. The method predicts mic ...
A brine/water heat pump with the auxiliary liquid subcooling cycle with a heating capacity of 9 kW at -7/50°C was built and a series of measurement were conduced. The heat pump is designed for the monovalent heating in the retrofit market. For this purpose ...
A design methodology allowing engineers to consider simultaneously and from the earliest phases of design some of the key factors of sustainable development (pollution, life cycle data) has been developed and successfully demonstrated on two examples of in ...
Steam production units (HRSG and HSSG) of ISCCS include several heat exchangers (economizers, evaporator, superheater, reheaters, etc.). The knowledge of the extended composites as a function of the solar input, allows the determination of the most critica ...
Exergetic analysis is derived from the First and Second Laws of thermodynamics is shown to be an excellent tool to analyse and characterize industrial processes. A coherent link to pinch technology is shown which allows the designer to extend design consid ...
L’EPFL, via le LENI (Laboratoire d’énergétique industrielle) participe à la prochaine ouverture du tour du monde en ballon. Un apport modeste, mais concentré sur un thème sensible: la modélisation thermodynamique du comportement du ballon. ...
Combined cycle power plants are currently one of the most important options for the construction of new generating capacity as well as for the replacement and repowering of existing units. Due to the complexity and the large number of options and parameter ...
Numerous degrees of freedom are often available for the heat integration of batch processes. Usually, only few of these are actually considered and optimized. Time slice-dependant Tmin have been investigated and optimized using a supertargeting procedure o ...
Abstraction faite des centrales nucléaires qui sont régies par une série de facteurs qui lui sont propres, la plupart des autres technologies de conversion d'énergie peuvent être raisonnablement conçues et comparées sur la base de considérations essentiell ...
