Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optimizing the process of converting heat into mechanical power is a major challenge when it comes to meeting targets for protecting primary energy resources and minimizing our environmental impact. For many years to come, the use of thermal engines will continue to be necessary for transportation on land, by sea and by air, as well as for many industrial applications. Against this background, Thermodynamics of Heat Engines aims to present a comprehensive overview of the thermodynamic concepts, including combustion, that are necessary for understanding the phenomena governing the energy efficiency of internal and external combustion engines as well as that of gas turbines and jet propulsion engines. Existing and developing industrial applications, based on combined heat and power (CHP) or the use of staged cycles, are presented, with particular attention paid to the recovery of lowtemperature waste heat. This book, which is mainly intended for university and engineering students but is also useful for engineers and technicians working in the fields concerned, provides a basis for reflection on the optimization of energy systems.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les rejets thermiques des procédés d'ennoblissement constituent un énorme gisement d'énergie. Pour les procédés discontinus les déphasages existant entre cette forme d'énergie et son utilisation potentielle imposent une gestion des stocks de chaleur. Le concept exergie permet la mise en évidence du potentiel d'énergie contenu dans les rejets et une intégration optimale des dispositifs de récupération permettant leur valorisation. Après avoir défini un modèle de fonctionnement énergétique des procédés, la réalisation d'un logiciel de simulation permet, à partir des choix d'un certain nombre de paramètres dits points de fonctionnement, d'optimiser la consommation énergétique. Dans le cas de l'ennoblissement un fonctionnement optimisé à partir du logiciel permet de réaliser un gain de plus de 20% par rapport aux réglages courants

This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce travail de thèse concerne l'étude de la faisabilité des cycles organiques sous-critiques et supercritiques de Rankine pour la valorisation de rejets thermiques industriels à basse température. Dans un premier temps, un état de l'art des cycles ORC (acronyme anglais pour Organic Rankine Cycle) et leurs fluides de travail a été réalisé. Nous avons réalisé une comparaison préliminaire de plusieurs configurations à partir de la littérature scientifique. Dans un second temps, les méthodes d'analyse énergétique et exergétique ont été appliquées pour évaluer et optimiser les performances des cycles ORC. En effet, la seule méthode d'analyse énergétique n'est pas suffisante pour juger de la bonne utilisation du potentiel énergétique de la source de chaleur disponible correspondant à un rejet industrielle de chaleur (chaleur fatale). L'analyse exergétique, intervient en complément de l'analyse énergétique du système, afin de permettre de localiser les pertes des ressources énergétiques dans les différentes composantes du système et de déterminer leurs importances relatives et leurs causes. Une optimisation thermo-économique des installations de valorisation de rejets thermiques utilisant un cycle sous-critique ou supercritique de Rankine a été effectuée. Nos résultats montrent que la valorisation de rejets thermiques industriels à basse température (ex. source thermique de 150 °C) en utilisant un cycle ORC sous-critique est plus intéressante sur le plan énergétique que celle opérée en utilisant un cycle supercritique de Rankine.

Book excerpt: This bilingual publication results from a four-day symposium aimed at capturing the general directions and analytical issues that characterize approaches to sustainable use in Africa. The papers included in this work are organized under four major headings: modes of use, devolution, scale issues and external issues. Authors explore these themes through the use of case studies and the description of specific regional experiences. External issues are further explored in a series of commissioned policy papers which have also been included.

Download or read book Climate Change Implications for Fisheries and Aquaculture written by K. L. Cochrane and published by Food & Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO). This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An overview of the current scientific knowledge available on climate change implications for fisheries and aquaculture is provided through three technical papers that were presented and discussed during the Expert Workshop on Climate Change Implications for Fisheries and Aquaculture (Rome, 7-9 April 2008). A summary of the workshop outcomes as well as key messages on impacts of climate change on aquatic ecosystems and on fisheries- and aquaculture-based livelihoods are provided in the introduction of this Technical Paper. The first paper reviews the physical and ecological impacts of climate change relevant to marine and inland capture fisheries and aquaculture. The paper begins with a review of the physical impacts of climate change on marine and freshwater systems and then connects these changes with observed effects on fish production processes. It also outlines a series of scenarios of climate change impacts on fish production and ecosystems through case studies in different regions and ecosystems. The second paper tackles the consequences of climate change impacts on fisheries and their dependent communities. It analyses the exposure, sensitivity and vulnerability of fisheries to climate change and presents examples of adaptive mechanisms currently used in the sector. The contribution of fisheries to greenhouse gas emissions is addressed and examples of mitigation strategies are given. The role of public policy and institutions in promoting climate change adaptation and mitigation is also explored. Finally, the third paper addresses the impacts of climate change on aquaculture. It provides an overview of the current food fish and aquaculture production and a synthesis of existing studies on climate change effects on aquaculture and fisheries. The paper focuses on the direct and indirect impacts of climate change on aquaculture, in terms of biodiversity, fish disease and fishmeal. Contribution of aquaculture to climate change is addressed (carbon emission and carbon sequestration), as well as possible adaptation and mitigation measures that could be implemented.
