The four-year projet ORCNext , aimed at developing knowledge and design tools for next generation of Organic Rankine Cycles (ORCs), has concluded that waste heat recovery efficiency can be increased by 20 to 25% through appropriate cycle selection, efficient expanders, appropriate control and less oversizing of the heat exchangers.

The extra waste heat generated from buildings, cars, and other sources in major Northern Hemisphere urban areas causes winter warming across large areas of northern North American and northern Asia. At the same time, the changes to atmospheric circulation caused by the waste heat cool areas of Europe by as much as 1 degree C (1.8

Ghost gear comprises nearly 10% of all sea-based plastic waste, entangling fish, sharks, dolphins, seals, sea turtles and birds. Most recently, the automaker used recycled water bottles to produce lightweight, aerodynamic-enhancing, noise-reducing underbody shields on the 2020 Ford Escape.

The Rankine cycle is widely used used commercially to generate power in stationary power plants, and is under consideration as a potential waste heat recovery system for use in both light-duty (BMW, earlier post ; Honda, earlier post ) and heavy-duty ( earlier post ) applications. engine used in the Escape Hybrid, the PF was 0.98

The hydrogen molecules escape through the extremely fine pores of the membrane, while the larger carbon dioxide gas molecules are retained. First, the waste heat from the engine is used to heat the reactor, significantly increasing the efficiency of the system. In this process, the hydrogen achieves a purity level of more than 90%.

million in new grants to study the use and impacts of escaped nitrogen from agricultural production. Wastes from cattle, chickens and other livestock include nitrogen. University of California, Davis researchers will receive $2.8 But excess nitrogen is emitted from soils, seeps into groundwater and runs off into surface waters.
