This work includes the development of the biomass conversion technologies designed to provide the required heat demand to the district heating network. Biomass is considered here as the only fuel utilized in the proposed conversion systems as the competiti ...
The Nucleus Pulposus (NP) is an avascular tissue that may be subject to temperature increase. Indeed, since the NP is not perfused by the cardio-vascular system, it implies that heat cannot be convected from it. The sources of heat could be either external ...
Improving the energy efficiency of cooling systems can contribute to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. Currently, most microelectronic applications are air-cooled. Switching to two-phase cooling systems would decrease power consumption and allow for ...
Process intensification is a vibrating topic in the field of chemical engineering. Its aim is to develop processes and methods with increased performance for a given chemical transformation at decreased energy consumption and waste production. Among all me ...
This paper presents a methodology aimed at improving the energy efficiency of a brewery applying process integration techniques. The different steps of the analysis are presented. The first step is the identification of the process energy requirements and ...
Groupe E a promoter of district heating networks was confronted with the possibility of building a network of this nature in the municipality of La Tour-de-Peilz. The munici- pality imposed a situation where the lake water should be used for heat pumping. ...
Cooling of datacenters is estimated to have an annual electricity cost of 1.4 billion dollars in the United States and 3.6 billion dollars worldwide. Currently, refrigerated air is the most widely used means of cooling datacenter’s servers. Modern datacent ...
This paper 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 ...
The quantities of e-waste are expected to increase sharply in Chile. The purpose of this paper is to provide a quantitative data basis on generated e-waste quantities. A material flow analysis was carried out assessing the generation of e-waste from comput ...
This work presents a synthesis method that leads to the preliminary design of industrial energy systems. Such systems are composed of several technologies that transform, through a set of physical unit operations, raw materials and energy into products and ...
