Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
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.
Within the global challenge of climate change mitigation, CO2 capture and storage is regarded as a potential option to reduce the CO2 emissions in power plants. The most common technology to capture CO2 is chemical absorption with amines, requiring however ...
The Second Law of thermodynamics is known to be an essential guide for the improvement of energy conversion systems. Throughout the years it has been applied to various engineering methods in particular in methods based on exergy [1] including the 2nd Law, ...
In the general frame of Compressed Air Energy Storage system (CAES), the LEI Laboratory of EPFL has introduced the concept of dry finned piston. The main goal is to achieve energy storage by means of compressed air thanks to high isothermal efficiency comp ...
In the context of greenhouse gas emissions reduction, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is considered as a promising option, especially for power plants applications. Three different concepts are mainly investigated; pre-, oxy-fuel and post-combustion captu ...
This study aims to improve the energy efficiency of an industrial site by applying the thermodynamic analysis of distillation columns together with the total site integration (TSI). Several methods have been proposed in the literatures for the thermodynami ...
Thermoelectric effects, such as the generation of a particle current by a temperature gradient, have their origin in a reversible coupling between heat and particle flows. These effects are fundamental probes for materials and have applications to cooling ...

In the context of greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, CO2 capture and storage is regarded as a promising alternative for fossil fuel fed power plants. In order to design and evaluate the competitiveness of such complex integrated energy conversion systems ...
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 ...
Catalytic hydrothermal gasification is a promising technology which allows the conversion of wet biomass into methane rich syngas. It consists of three major steps, in which thermal energy has to be supplied at different temperature levels, leading to mult ...
Cement production is an energy intensive industrial process that requires heat to be supplied at high temperature levels under the constraints of gas-solid heat exchange phenomena and the kinetics of chemical reactions. In this paper, the use of Pinch Anal ...
