In this work, a parametric study is done with computational methods for groundwater flow and heat transport in order to describe the dominant physical phenomena in an Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES). Optimum operating conditions and geological parame ...
The reliable prediction of pressure drop in two-phase flow is an important prerequisite to accurate optimization of thermal systems. Because of the complexity of these types of flow, empirical or semiempirical relationships are only of limited reliability ...
The process design of a 10 to 20MWth Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) production process from wood has been performed. Combining process modeling and process integration techniques, this study proceeds via the following stages: • thermodynamic modeling: mass, e ...
The characteristics of the 'Green Heating System', synonymous with 'Environmentally Friendly Heating System', is academically defined from the total energy systems' point of view, using the concept of 'reversible mode of heating' under the current and futu ...
Natural Gas is one of the few truly viable alernatives to liquid fuels which does not significantly alter the user’s perception of the vehicle. Natural gas has several major advantages, particularly in terms of environmental impact however a number of obst ...
In this paper, a district heating, cooling and power generation unit has been evaluated from the viewpoints of cost and CO2 emissions. The superstructure considered includes a solid oxide fuel cell and gas turbine (SOFC-GT) combined cycle, a compression he ...

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 ...
With the push for greater energy conservation, the need for heating and/or power production is being filled by cogeneration facilities. Thus, the search for the best performance at the least cost for such multipurpose plants is made much more difficult by ...
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 ...
