In this study, a mathematical model was developed for multiple-effect evaporators. These evaporators have cocurrent, countercurrent and parallel flow operation options. Each operation was investigated with and without pre-heaters. The effect of pre-heating on evaporation process was investigated...

Indicators for sustainable development, such as: Dow Jones sustainability group indices, life cycle index, ecological footprint, sustainability cities index, Well-Being Index, are acknowledged evaluation instruments in the international development policy. They are used to evaluate...

This paper introduces Tools for Energy Model Optimization and Analysis (Temoa), an open source framework for conducting energy system analysis. The core component of Temoa is an energy economy optimization (EEO) model, which minimizes the system-wide cost of energy supply by optimizing the...

This study strives to clarify to what extent the improved insulation of new buildings affects the economically rational choice of heating supply. In the Danish context, natural gas furnaces show to be economically rational for the society only in few cases. District heating should be advocated...

A mismatch between the fuel combustion temperature ∼2250K (adiabatic) and the high pressure steam temperature up to 900K, results in a large amount of thermodynamic losses in steam turbine (ST) cycles. A solid-state thermoelectric (TE) placed on top of a ST cycle will produce additional...
