Drenkelford, S. (author)A method is determined to calculate the energy saving potential of Aramid-based conveyor belts. This method should be accurate enough to provide a relevant annual energy consumption, but should not be too complex, since it is to be used in an industrial application. Several methods from literature are assessed for this purpose, of which two are...master thesis 2015
