Direct and indirect utilization of thermal energy for cooling generation: A comparative analysis

Batch Reverse Osmosis (Bro)-Adsorption Desalination (Ad) Hybrid System for Multipurpose Desalination and Minimal Liquid Discharge

“…Although the BRO-AD hybrid system requires substantial thermal energy, there are many applications where this thermal energy is available from lowgrade thermal resources. The heating input of 90 • C can be obtained from industrial waste heat, solar, and geothermal energy [56]. The lowgrade thermal energy could alternatively be used for power generation via organic Rankine cycle (ORC) or pressure retarded membrane distillation (PRMD) [57,58].…”

Energy, exergy, thermoecologic, environmental, enviroeconomic and sustainability analyses and assessments of the aircraft engine fueled with biofuel and jet fuel

“…As a result, to meet the need for fossil fuels, the usage of alternative fuels is expanding [ 13 ]. At this point, bio-based fuels or biomass are a viable resource with growing hopes for meeting requirements of energy with lower pollutants, as well as tremendous utility of the biofuels in transport industry, in which they can be generated at large amounts and utilized first-hand within engines to reduce hazardous pollutants [ 14 , 15 ]. Jet fuel and diesel will be the principal fuels required for the expansion of the aviation industry.…”
