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 ...
Solar-driven non-stoichiometric thermochemical redox cycling of ceria for the conversion of solar energy into fuels shows promise in achieving high solar-to-fuel efficiency. This efficiency is significantly affected by the operating conditions, e.g. redox ...
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 ...
Within the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supplying sustainable energy, complex integrated energy conversion systems have to be designed by taking into account thermodynamic, economic and environmental considerations simultaneously. The proc ...
This study presents a methodology based on the process integration techniques and multiple representation of heating and cooling requirement concept to improve the energy efficiency of a large-scale chemical plant. Considering the difficulties of data gath ...
This paper analyses the thermodynamic performance and proposes different energy integration schemes for a methanol absorption based acid gas removal process, namely the Rectisol® process specifically designed for the selective removal of H2S and CO2 from c ...

In order to separate a mixture into high purity products, Dividing Wall Distillation Columns (DWCs) have shown to be, in most cases, more convenient than using conventional distillation column sequence. In fact in DWCs the entire separation task occurs in ...
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 ...
This study presents a general, practical and operational methodology to improve energy efficiency of processes through a holistic approach. The required methods and tools have been developed based on a systemic approach of process energy integration and en ...
Nowadays, one of the main alternatives for a more rational use of energy in heating applications is the heat pumping technologies. The market is dominated by two kinds of heat pump systems: the electrically driven vapor compression heat pumps (EHP), which ...
