There is an acknowledged growing need for efficient and sustainable systems that use
available energy resources in an “optimal”(including constraints) way. Such a goal cannot …

Throughout history, distillation has been the most widespread separation method. However,
despite its simplicity and flexibility, distillation still remains very energy inefficient. Novel …

The total entropy generation rate, internal exergy loss and exergy efficiency of the
membrane reactor of methanol synthesis via carbon dioxide hydrogenation are compared …

In this paper, the power-to-methanol chain is reviewed from a process system engineering
perspective with detailed assessments of major technologies. The evaluation encompasses …

The aim of this book is to present a systematic theory of transport for heterogeneous
systems. The theory is an extension of non-equilibrium thermodynamics for transport in …

Increasing energy demand, consequently high crude oil prices and growing concern for
pollution motivated the researchers to explore more energy-efficient and environment …

The combination of traditional reactor and permeable membrane is beneficial to increase
the production rate of the target product. How to design a high efficiency and energy saving …

The aim of this book is to present the essence of non-equilibrium thermodynamics and its
use for engineers. The field was established in 1931 and developed during the forties and …

Thermodynamic performance of helium-heated reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reactor is
investigated by using the theory of finite-time thermodynamics. Taking into account both the …

In response to the worldwide need for more sustainable chemical processes, distillation
became target of major efforts for efficiency improvement. Leveraged by process …
