The cement subsector consumes approximately 12-15% of the total industrial energy use. Therefore, this subsector releases CO2 emissions to the atmosphere as a result of burning fossil fuels to produce energy needed for the cement manufacturing process. The cement industry contributes about 7% of...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate performance cement of production and cement kiln. The design of energy efficient dryers employing heat pump systems and the dynamic response of the product to the kiln conditions must take into account. In this paper, the formulation of a dynamic and...

Energy poverty and lack of electricity in rural areas exacerbate the poverty of the developing countries. In Malaysia, 3.8% of the population lives below the poverty line and most of them are settled in rural areas. The electricity coverage in poor states is about 79% in comparison with 99.62%...

The commercial sector consumes 8–50% of the total energy consumption for a few selected countries around the world. An energy audit was conducted in a Malaysian public hospital to identify energy using equipment and their energy consumption breakdown. Different energy saving measures have been...

Optical characteristics besides unique thermo-physical properties of nanoparticles have encouraged researchers to use nanofluids in solar energy collectors or reservoirs as electromagnetic wave absorbing media. Recently, different analyses and approaches have been proposed by researchers....

Present energy scenario, alternative energy resources and future prospect in Bangladesh have been reviewed comprehensively and presented in this paper. This work compiles latest literatures in terms of thesis, journal articles, conference proceedings, web materials, reports, books, handbooks on...

A significant amount of energy is consumed to maintain thermal comfort in buildings, a huge portion of which is lost through windows. Smart coating, thin films with spectrally selective properties on the surface of glass, is the innovative solution to the problem. Thermochromic smart windows...

Nanotechnology is an enabling technology that provides an extensive range of resources to resolve the energy-related problems, as the developing components and appliances are smaller than 100nm they provide the new ways to catch, store and exchange energy. Every day, the sun shines a huge amount...

Ensuring sustainability in electrical power generation is a major concern in the modern world. Reducing energy depletion from power generation can reduce emissions and contribute to sustainability. Exergy analysis can be used to assess and optimize energy systems and thus can help achieve...
