Increasing energy demand, high energy cost and global warming issues require energy-
intensive industries to make sincere efforts to improve energy efficiency. The energy …

Evaporators are one of the most important equipment in the food process industries such as
sugar, fruit juices, dairy products, edible oils, tomato paste, and coffee. They need a lot of …

Supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO 2) Brayton cycles are considered to be a potentially viable
option for reducing the cost of electricity generation from solar power tower plants, owing to …

Multi-effect distillation is often integrated with a Rankine power cycle for cogeneration
(simultaneous production of power and desalinated water). Such integration increases the …

Energy saving in the food industry is of a great deal of importance. Thermal vapor
compressors (TVCs) do not have moving parts which offer advantages including simplicity …

This paper proposes a general superstructure and a Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming
(MINLP) model for the synthesis and simultaneous optimisation and Heat Integration (HI) of …

A direct steam generation (DSG) solar collector can be an efficient process-heat application
compared to electricity generation, and it can significantly reduce dependence on non …

This paper proposes a novel concept for the optimal design of multi-stage vacuum
membrane distillation (VMD). Generally, a multi-stage VMD is designed with an equal …

The current study analyzes the potential of an environmentally benign integration of a
parabolic trough solar collector (PTSC) with a heat-intensive multi-effect evaporator (MEE) …

Maximization of the steam efficiency of a multiple stage evaporator employed for
concentrating black liquor in pulp and paper mills carries immense significance and …
