The most fundamental process from an energy systems standpoint is heat transfer to (or from) a working fluid. This unit operation typically occurs in small channels, the characteristic diameter of which is less than 1 mm. Other heat transfer exchanger configurations, such as fluid flowing through a network of posts or through a mesh, are also possible. Specific examples of this fundamental unit operation include phase change occurring in boilers (modular steam boiler), evaporators, and condensers. (more…)

Coal use today is no longer evocative of dirty power plants with polluting black smoke billowing from their smokestacks. Many of these plants have been transformed through technology to operate more efficiently and with significantly lower emissions. Some fire coal with other waste materials and others produce both electric power and heat transmission. Cases of plant retrofits and their new performance statistics are documented by various institutions, including the Energy Information Administration (http:// www.eia.doe.gov) and the World Coal Institute (http://www.wci-coal.com). The following examples highlight clean coal use throughout the world: (more…)

Steam is a great heat transfer medium simply because it’s easy to move inside your system. Steam heating is known to have a very high heat retention capacity. The heat capacity of steam is much bigger compare than that of water. Steam systems are frequently working on very low pressure and generally below 220F. (more…)

The gradual change in the energy consumption pattern of the United States from 1860 to 1990. In the mid-1800s, biomass, principally woody biomass, supplied over 90% of U.S. energy and fuel needs, after which energy biomass consumption began to decrease as fossil fuels became the preferred energy resources. For many years, a safe illuminant had been sought as a less expensive substitute for whale oils. (more…)
