This paper illustrates, with a specifie example, the methodology presented in a previous paper for the exergoeconomic optimization of complex, multicomponent-multiproduct systems. The application selected is a cogeneration ...

The energy sector is going through a transition process regarding the generation, distribution, storage and use of energy. This transition of energy systems has occurred through the evolution of these systems that were ...

Energy and water have faced important levels of conflicts in the last 20–25 years in Chile. However, the way that they have been politically addressed in the last decade differs. These differences emerge from how these ...

New local functionals for the kinetic and Hartree-Fock exchange energy of atoms are proposed. They are of the following general form: T[ρ] =22/3CF ∫ ∑σρ5/3 σf(r,ρ σ)dr. The function f(r,ρσ), except for two adjustable ...

Compressed air is one of the most widely used application energies in the industry, such as good transportability, safety, purity, cleanliness, storage capacity and ease of use. In many countries, compressed air systems ...

© 1998-2012 IEEE.The pervasiveness of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) across different applications keeps increasing due to their versatility, although energy consumption is a huge constraint for these types of networks. ...

The introduction of non-conventional energy sources (NCES) to industrial processes is a viable alternative to reducing the energy consumed from the grid. However, a robust coordination of the local energy resources with ...
