Abstract In many industries and processes, heat exchangers are of vital importance as they used to transfer from one fluid another. These fluids can be corrosive exchangers, which usually made metallic materials. This paper illustrates that corrosion is an important problem in the operation environments, for no straightforward answer exists. Corrosion failures common, often involves high maintenance or repair costs. this review, overview given what known on exchangers. The different types...

The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is a mature technology for the conversion of waste heat to electricity. Although many energy intensive industries could benefit significantly from integration ORC technology, its current adoption rate limited. One important reason this arises difficulty prospective investors and end-users recognize and, ultimately, realise potential savings such deployment. In recent years, electric arc furnaces (EAF) have been identified as particularly interesting candidates...

This study presents a techno-economic assessment of Carnot batteries for load-shifting solar PV production an office building considering variable electricity production, demand and pricing. The has annual 2600 MWh maximum power 0.564 MW. battery studied is based on subcritical Rankine cycle with sensible thermal storage. A generic model sizing methodology are presented applied to the case study. It found that implementing not cost effective case. Larger system sizes increase integration but...

The physical behavior of open-cell foams depends on their microscopic structure. An geometrical model is proposed, which can serve as the basis for a future macroscopic analysis. strut geometry particular interest, it reported to have substantial influence occurring thermo-hydraulic and mechanical phenomena. Axial size variation, well porosity dependence shape quantified included in model. foam generated by placing struts an elongated tetrakaidecahedron. required input parameters are two...
