efficiency and the resulting impacts on electricity access. Using a pool of 70 well-designed qualitative and quantitative studies …

(6ÈrptÈ12) and flow rate of exhaust gas on the Net work and combined thermal efficiency and exergy loss of exhaust gas … at lower pressure ratio. The combined thermal efficiency increases by 10% with an increase in the turbine inlet … temperature from 1100 to 1500 K. It is found that the combined thermal efficiency increases with all pertinent parameters. …

industrialised economy. The starting point of our considerations is that every economic action requires energy, of which many … different forms exist. Taking all of these forms into account, heat energy has a particular significance, because other forms of … energy can never appear in isolation, but only conjointly with heat energy. For this reason, the branch of physics that deals …

could have taken this trillion-fold efficiency improvement and reduced our computational energy budget by the same amount …When it comes to our sustainability problems, striving for greater resource efficiency seems like an obvious solution … fourfold. In short, boosting efficiency seems like a straightforward way to reduce your use of natural resources. And for you …

According to mainstream thinking, efficiency is a potent tool for conservation — a way to live better while using fewer …, efficiency seems to stimulate the consumption of more resources. This paper surveys the evidence for efficiency backfire and … concludes that efficiency is a general tool for catalyzing technological sprawl. …

discharging time with the grid load and the renewable energy production. Algorithms are required to develop tariffs and evaluate … grid impacts of variable tariffs for electric vehicles (BEV) as well as to schedule the charging process optimisation …. Therefore a combinatorial optimisation algorithm is developed and an algorithm based on graph search is used and customised …
