Geothermal energy is heat energy generated and stored in the Earth. With the awareness of the society about environmental issues, geothermal power is developing worldwide. It is cost-effective, reliable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly but has hi ...
The aluminium remelting industry relies on natural gas to transform recycled aluminium into aluminium feedstock, entailing significant atmospheric emissions. Hydric resources are also affected as they are used as sinks of waste heat from the casting proces ...
In this study, total heat transfer rate and pressure drop along a shell and tube heat exchanger (STHX) with 6 porous baffles are numerically investigated. To study the impacts of segmental porous baffles, three values for the permeability (10(-9) m(2), 10( ...
Thermal energy storage using the effects of the latent heat in the solid-liquid phase transformation has found its way into every day applications. Reusable, organic phase change media stabilize low temperatures of parcels, and salt/water tanks act as buff ...
Energy consumption in industrial processes is mainly in the form of heat. Thus, heat recovery is one of the main focuses in industrial energy efficiency problems. Heat integration (HI) techniques have been studied extensively to solve such problems. One of ...
Distric Energy System (DES) represents a promising opportunity to improve energy efficiency and boost the decarbonization of the European energy sector. If most of the studies focus on small consumers typically located within urban areas, large energy user ...
A major shift in energy systems has started due to drastic changes in climate and air quality, depleting resources, as well as rising social awareness to all these changes. As a result international protocols, such as the Paris agreement, are signed settin ...
Efficient consumption of energy and material resources, including water, is the primary focus for process industries to reduce their environmental impact. The Conference of Parties in Paris (COP21) highlighted the prominent role of industrial energy effici ...
In recent decades, energy efficiency has become one of the key issues facing large process industries. Mounting economic, environmental and social pressure motivate energy-intensive industries to improve their efficiency. Identifying retrofit opportunities ...
Le secteur des bâtiments occupe une part très importante de la consommation totale d’énergie finale en Suisse, soit environ 40% et est également la cause de 24% des émissions de gaz à effet de serre. C’est pour cette raison que ce secteur revêt une importa ...
