Modelling of wet compression in compression-resorption heat pumps

The ever-increasing power demand, the high scarcity of fossil fuel resources and the growing environmental pollution have pushed the development on technologies related to sustainable energy systems. Maximizing the energetic performance of industrial processes is a key aspect in this quest for sustainable<br/>energy management. A large share of...

Entropy production minimisation of a compression-resorption heat pump

Waste heat recovery is essential to reduce energy consumption in industry. A heat pump can be used to upgrade waste heat to a temperature level that is suitable for process heat. This study concerns a compression-resorption heat pump. The goal is to optimise the heat pump energetically, while keeping the investment attractive. Entropy production...
