The energy-water nexus of the water supply, wastewater treatment and power generation
systems has been well discussed. It is very clear that one source cannot be produced or …

The application of life-cycle assessment (LCA) to electric power (EP) technologies is a
vibrant research pursuit that is likely to continue as the world seeks ways to meet growing …

Historically, economic development has been strongly correlated with increasing energy use
and growth of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Renewable energy (RE) can help …

A low temperature desalination process capable of producing 100L/d freshwater was
designed to utilize solar energy harvested from flat plate solar collectors. Since solar …

Brazilian steel industry based on charcoal is unique in the world, making Brazil the largest
world charcoal producer and the only one that produces green pig iron in large scale, a low …

There is a burden of adequate energy supply for meeting demand and reducing emission to
avoid the average global temperature of above 2° C of the pre-industrial era. Therefore, this …

Analysis of a new desalination process utilizing low grade thermal energy is presented. In
this process, fresh water is distilled from saline water under near-vacuum pressures created …

A simple theoretical model, validated against available numerical and experimental data in
the literature, is presented to predict the effects of crosswind on the performance of natural …

This paper presents a novel application of a sensible TES (thermal energy storage) system
for simultaneous energy conservation and water desalination in power plants. First, the TES …

This paper presents the performance analysis of an existing combined cycle power plant
augmented with a waste heat fired organic Rankine cycle power plant for extra power …
