Engineering: Recent Advancements in Waste Recovery Technologies
This collection is a compilation of recent advancements in waste heat recovery technologies in industry. A substantial amount of energy is undesirably rejected in the form of waste heat. Despite the amount of fuel consumed, such wasted heat contributes to the global warming due to the CO2 emissions resulted from the combustion of fossil fuels. In this regard, waste heat recovery technologies are the solution to reduce the global consumption of fuel and its associated carbon dioxide emission. Among the various waste heat recovery technologies, supercritical CO2 power cycle, and organic Rankine cycles are considered one of the promising cycles for waste heat recovery in industry.
Given the significance of this subject, you are invited to contribute a research article to this collection. The contributions may include, but are not limited to, supercritical CO2 power cycles, organic Rankine cycles, design and analysis of heat exchangers, design and analysis of expansion machines, and thermal storages.
