Power Station Thermal Efficiency Performance Method Evaluation by Heerlall, Heeran

“…For an individual unit, the indirect efficiency uncertainty was as high as 0.581% abs. A study was conducted to find an optimal resolution (segment size) for the thermal performance metrics to be computed, by discretizing the monthly data into smaller segment sizes and studying the movement of the mean STEP model outputs and the temporal uncertainty. …”

Experimental evaluation of the effect of thermal heat and pressure pre-treatment on primary sludge anaerobic digestion by Mwidu, Aaron

“…More recently development of the thermal hydrolysis process pre-treatment of sewage sludge has shown great economic and financial potential in terms of; an increased sludge degradability implying more biogas production, improved digestion rate, stable and highly efficient digester, improved dewaterability of sludge and finally pathogen free cake as a final product which can be used for soil conditioning. …”

Numerical study of a hybrid photovoltaic thermal desalination system by Noble, Cole Douglas

“…However, their widespread proliferation is, in part, inhibited by their inefficiency as less than 20% of incident solar energy is converted to electrical energy. Hybrid photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) desalination systems have emerged as one way of improving the overall efficiency of PV panels as they make use of the waste heat from panels to aid the desalination process in solar stills. …”

Thermal Insulation and Fire Protection Plaster for FRP System Incorporating Aerogel Nanoparticles and Phyllosilicates by Ghaly, Athnasious

“…Several research have been investigating different types of fire insulations that are already being used in regular Reinforced Concrete (RC) elements and steel elements, however, due to the low failure temperature of the FRP system these insulation types do not perform as efficient as with other structural systems. One of the new novel materials that was introduced lately to the market with a substantial thermal performance is Aerogel, which has been widely utilized in different fields such as bio-medicine and aerospace. …”
