The pinch analysis method is a useful tool for the energy integration of industrial processes (structuring and simplification using simple guidelines). The pinch analysis method, extended to include exergy factors, falls within the framework of a global mu ...
It has been shown in a number of studies that the Kalina cycle can have considerably higher efficiencies than the Rankine cycle. An especially advantageous application is as a bottoming cycle to a gas turbine. In this paper a gas turbine topping cycle has ...
The energy integration of industrial processes is becoming increasingly more effective thanks to new methodological developments such as pinch technology. This paper aims at extending the number of factors considered in pinch analysis toward a life-cycle o ...
A modified bench scale calorimeter has been employed to det. the heat generated by various microbial strains growing on a range of different substrates, covering degrees of redn. from 3 to 6.13. The results are analyzed and interpreted in the light of coup ...
The heat generated by both batch and continuous cultures of the yeast Kluyveromycs fragilis was studied using a modified bench scale calorimeter. Batch cultures were used to measure the heat dissipation rates and the heat yields during fully aerobic and co ...
Measurements of the heat produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae CBS 426 were used in conjunction with elemental and enthalpic balances to control fed-batch fermns. A proportional control using the ratio of carbon dioxide evolution rate to heat prodn. resulte ...
We provide detailed insight into the growth kinetics of intermetallic layers formed at the interface of molten Al-12%Si with cylindrical encapsulations of 316L stainless steel. This knowledge is relevant for the design and operation of high-temperature lat ...
Starting with a classical process for producing methanol using the reforming and synthesis steps, a combined approach applying simulation models and a new synthesis strategy, named Effect Modelling and Optimisation (EMO), has been used to optimise the ener ...
The combined sugar and ethanol production process from sugar cane is a paradigmatic application for energy integration strategies because of the high number of hot and cold streams involved, the external hot utility requirement at two temperature levels fo ...
