AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
An important part of the electricity production relies on heat conversion. Indeed power plants burn fuels like natural gas, coal or use nuclear fission to produce heat that can be transformed into electricity through a thermodynamic cycle and the mechanica ...
Offshore oil and natural gas production is an energy-intensive activity and is responsible for the emission of significant amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The main emitting source is the simple-cycle gas turbines (SCGT) of the utility system ...
In spite of the large degree of energy integration in the modern syngas production units, the highly endothermic reactions of steam methane reforming and the combined steam and power generation still require a huge amount of energy that is typically suppli ...
An exergy modeling and optimization of an industrial ammonia unit based on steam methane reforming (SMR) process is presented. The base-case unit produces about 1000 t NH3/day [1], as well as power and steam, with no auxiliary exergy use. Some critical ope ...
In spite of the large degree of energy integration in the modern syngas production units, the highly endothermic reactions of steam methane reforming and the combined steam and power generation still require a huge amount of energy that is typically suppli ...
Performance of transcritical CO2 Rankine cycles with and without reheat process is investigated thermo-economically in low-grade waste heat recovery applications. Two reheating scenarios are proposed to evaluate the effect of bounded and unbounded reheats ...
A theoretical case study on steam generation has been performed. Different methods of producing steam by vapour compression, direct electrical heating, gas heating, heat pumping, use of waste heat, and a mixture thereof, were theoretically analysed. The fi ...
The transition towards clean renewable energy sources, where wind and solar are prone to variation, requires adequate energy storage. Power-to-methane (PtM) systems can be part of the solution. Specifically, solid-oxide-electrolyser (SOE) based PtM systems ...
This work presents a very general superstructure capable of reproducing any configuration of Rankine cycles, both power cycles (steam cycles we well as Organic Rankine Cycles) and inverse cycles (refrigeration cycles or heat pumps), as well as heat/steam d ...
The large potential for waste resource and heat recovery in industry has been motivating research toward increasing efficiency. Process integration methods have proven to be effective tools in improving industrial sites while decreasing their resource and ...
