Vermani, Sanjay (author)Industrial processes are estimated to be responsible for about 20 % of the total greenhouse gas emissions within the European Union (EU). The majority of the industrial energy demand is related to the thermal energy required for process heating. Thus, there is a need to make radical changes to the industrial heating supply to achieve net-zero...master thesis 2022

Noori, S. (author)Emerging economies produce 70-90% of the world’s steel, cement, and chemicals, which are essential for development. However, performance indicators such as carbon intensity and energy use per GDP reveal that industrial development trends in emerging economies are not sustainable. The ideal of industrial development that sustains and improves...doctoral thesis 2022

Avadhani, M. (author), van Rooyen, Roland (author), Infante Ferreira, C.A. (author)Buildings consume 40% of the total global energy and contribute to over 30% of all CO2 emissions. Space heating forms a significant part of energy consumption in buildings. A possible solution is to recover waste heat from sewage and to upgrade its exergy using a heat pump. Polymers reduce cost and energy required for manufacturing the heat...conference paper 2021

Rigter, Tom (author)This study provides suggestions to decrease hot utility use and impact on the environment of a skim milk powder (SMP) processing plant. These suggestions are based on the integration of waste streams with processes in the production of SMP. To identify appropriate waste and process streams, process integration has proven to be a successful...master thesis 2020

Avadhani, Maneesh (author)Buildings contribute to 30% of global CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and consume 40% of the global energy supply (Yang et al., 2014). Heating and cooling requirements of the buildings form the major part of the energy consumption in buildings (Culha et al., 2015). Thus to solve this problem, one of the solutions currently being<br/>looked at is to...master thesis 2019

Moussa, Salah (author)Steel plants are one of the largest sources of waste heat. Waste heat recovery throughout the steelmaking process is not a new phenomenon. One of the sources of waste heat is found in the coke plant. Cokes are an essential part of steel production. During the coking process hot cokes are cooled down. Most coke plants in the world traditionally...master thesis 2019

Schakel, Jasper (author)Water is the most dominant substance on the planet and has always been a synonym for life. On this planet, water has always been plentiful. Therefore, the conclusion of the United Nations in 2015 was even more shocking. The United Nations estimated that in 2030 a water gap would exist of 40%. The withdrawal of fresh water would be 40% larger...master thesis 2019

Thimmanoor, Sai (author)Carbon dioxide emission into the earth’s atmosphere by maritime activities are a concern for the people within and outside the industry. This is because of the environmental impacts that are caused by these greenhouse gas emissions which changes the very chemistry of this planet. These impacts can be mitigated by reducing the CO2 emissions which...master thesis 2018

Wang, M. (author), Becker, T. (author), Schouten, Bob (author), Vlugt, T.J.H. (author), Infante Ferreira, C.A. (author)To use high-temperature waste heat generated by diesel engines for onboard refrigeration of fishing vessels, an ammonia-based double-effect vapor absorption refrigeration cycle is proposed. Non-volatile ionic liquids are applied as absorbents in the double-effect absorption system. In comparison to systems using ammonia/water fluid, the...journal article 2018

Jahn, Patrick (author)Aviation has to reduce its emission. In the past the improvements of aero engine technology have been achieved by higher turbine inlet temperatures, higher overall pressure ratios, higher bypass ratios and more efficient components. However, these methods hold only limited potential for further improvements. Therefore, research into alternative...master thesis 2017

Shi, L. (author)The energy consumption in the industry field is considerable. Saving energy has great potential in many industrial processes. For example, heat recovery from the spent cooling water can be achieved by applying heat pump technology, and the recovered heat can be used for district heating. Previous study indicates that the compression-resorption...master thesis 2017
