Geothermal energy integration in urban systems. The case study of the city of Lausanne.
Frédéric Louis-Pierre Raphaël Marie Amblard
In the framework of the GEOTHERM II, a joint effort of geoscience, engineering and social-science of academic and public partners, the integration of geothermal energy in urban systems is evaluated. A superstructure was defined for the case study of the ci ...
2015MINLP Model and two-level Algorithm for the Simultaneous Synthesis of Heat Exchanger Networks and Utility Systems
François Maréchal, Alberto Mian, Emanuele Martelli
This work proposes a novel approach for the simultaneous synthesis of Heat Exchanger Networks (HEN) and Utility Systems. Given a set of hot and cold process streams and a set of available utility systems (e.g., gas turbine, steam cycle, boiler, etc), the m ...
Elsevier2015Procédé et dispositif de fabrication de briquettes
Process for producing a briquette containing carbon carriers (2): mixing the carbon carriers (2) together with a binder system (3) with introduction of steam and the mixture obtained is pressed to form briquettes. At least one of drying carbon carriers (2) ...
2013Effect of Steam-to-Carbon Ratio on Degradation of Ni-YSZ Anode Supported Cells
Jan Van Herle, Stefan Diethelm, Hossein Madi
Internal steam reforming (IR) of methane was investigated on Ni- YSZ anode supported cells, looking in particular at the effect of the steam to carbon (S/C) ratio on the degradation rate. The cells were fed with different H2O/CH4 mixtures during 100 hours ...
2013Performance and Profitability Perspectives of a CO2 based District Energy Network in Geneva’s City Center
Daniel Favrat, Céline Weber, Samuel Henchoz
A new type of district energy network capable of providing simultaneously heating and cooling is being investigated. It is based on the use of CO2 as a heat transfer fluid by taking advantage of the latent heat of vaporization, to store and transfer heat a ...
2012Tubulo II: magnetic climbing inchworm for inspection of boiler tubes
Francesco Mondada, Hannes Bleuler, Frédéric Rochat, Patrick Schoeneich, Olivier Truong-Dat Nguyen
TUBULO II is a climbing inspection robot with for inner inspection of boiler tubes. Its locomotion principle is the inchworm type. The adhesion is realized with Magnetic Switchable Device [1]. The inner is able to operate within a tube of inner bore diamet ...
