Thermal energy storage (TES) systems can be used for recovering industrial waste heat and increasing energy efficiency, especially when coupled to batch thermal processes. Stratified water thermal storage tanks are the ...

This work deals with a case study of a food industry, with an emphasis on the production of biscuits. The bring that of wide energy on the 95% shakes of the cook of 95% they are the stage for baking. Thus, the first attempt ...

Heat capture and storage is important in both solar energy projects and in the recovery of waste heat from industrial processes. Whereas heat capture will mostly rely on the use of a heat carrier, the high efficiency heat ...

This work aims to identify the existing potential of solar energy for process heat production in Uruguay. Both Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC) and Linear Fresnel Technology (LFT) are considered as candidate tecnologies ...

The demand from the automotive industry for lighter and more resistant structures produced at lower costs has shifted the development focus of production processes toward hybrid components. A problem that arises from hybrid ...

Climate change is producing major impacts including increasing temperatures in tropical countries, like Costa Rica, where the sugarcane industry employs thousands of workers who are exposed to extreme heat. Objectives: ...

The reheating furnace of the steel industry was evaluated in the present study, which uses the gas mixture from coke oven (COG), steelmaking process “Linz-Donawitz” (LDG) and blast furnace (BFG); with the production of ...
