During the cooling process, the already "cold" agent, with initial temperature T mc0, is used to cool the hot fluid leaving the hot reactor. It passes through a heat exchanger HE-h for a period of time τ h, cools the hot stream and returns heated to the heat tank. At the end of the cooling process, the temperature in the heat tank is T mh0 ...

The system integration process is different from the traditional system planning process, whose planning scheme is still in the process of demonstration (i.e., the system has not been built yet). Therefore, the costs and benefits of the planning scheme are generally necessary to be converted to the initial planning stage according to a certain mechanism for scheme …
An industrial process, aiming to both sustainably and economically produce valuable end-products and simultaneous by-products for use in other processes, should when possible take some important steps in its journey from cradle-to-grave (Harmsen, 2004): chemical processes synthesis, conceptual/systematic process design/synthesis, process development, …

The energy system integration is expected to be a dynamic and learning-by-doing process. The results will depend on the development of economic, technological, environmental, and social elements at local, national, European and global level, as there is not a "one-size-fits-all" solution for all Member States.
The generating process may benefit from their greater supply capacity and time-shifting capabilities. ESSs are especially beneficial for RE sources since they provide an ideal solution to the inherent intermittent nature of these RE sources and may also make it easier to send electricity to the grid.

This process integrates the enabling systems with the system of interest to facilitate interoperation. The SE integration process treats humans like the other system elements in the integration process. However, the integration of technical components and the integration of people require different considerations and processes.
The urgent need for CO2 reduction is calling upon the industry to contribute. However, changes within local energy supply systems including efficiency enhancement are bound to several economical and technical constraints, which results in interfering trade-offs that make it difficult to find the optimal investment option for CO2 mitigation. In this article, a new …

The single-generation process from single input typically contains unused energy, which is released in the form of thermal energy to the environment. From this aspect, single-generation system is a less sustainable method with higher production of wastes. Mathematically, it has only one output in the numerator part for the one denominator.
The current energy system in the United States loses over half of the primary energy in the process of converting fuel to useful energy, then delivering it for end use. 2 Of the energy in the sources used to produce electricity, an average of only 32 percent of the available energy results in electricity. The remaining energy is lost in evaporation or cooling.
