This project will demonstrate on an Industrial scale, a new low temperature heat recovery cycle, the controlled phase cycle (CPC), that will convert waste heat streams in the temperature range of 70C to 90C to high value electricity and address the energy trllemma by reducing the reliance on fossil fuels, improving security by reducing the electricity dem...

Coffee is the most valuable and widely traded tropical agricultural product. Global consumption has almost doubled in the last 40 years and is forecast to reach 9.09 m tonnes by 2019. Roasting and afterburning processes use roughly 11.2x10(12) kJ fuel energy/year. In coffee bean roasting processes only 40% of energy used adds value to the final product wi...

To design, develop and commercialise a new monitoring technique to transform and simplify the operation of all steam boliers whilst vitally inproving safety levels.

his project aims to develop, optimize, and manufacture novel polymer micro-hollow fibre heat exchangers (PHFHE) for various applications . This light weight PHFHE can reduce the weight up to 50% compared with traditional metal heat exchanger, leading to at least 50% cost reduction. The small diameters of the fibres (micrometers) have thin walls and large ...
