Dear Colleagues,
Accomplishing environmental sustainability has become a global initiative whilst addressing climate change and its effects. In the field of energy application, renewable energy such as solar and wind energy, energy storage devices and waste heat recovery systems have been widely used to achieve sustainable development. It was reported that a large amount of waste heat is wasted in plants, which will bring huge economic losses to them. Therefore, waste heat recovery is a key part of improving the efficiency of industrial processes and reducing their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. In order to improve the economic benefits of plants and effectively promote environmental sustainability, waste heat recovery in plants has attracted increasing interest all over the world.
In most plants, a large amount of waste heat can be recovered before exhaust gas is discharged through the chimney. This will lead to an increase in the load of recovery and treatment devices in plants and a large amount of heat loss. In order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to develop waste heat recovery system and its methods. This can not only recover the waste heat and improve energy utilization in plants, but also reduce the emission of carbon dioxide and alleviate the pollution to the atmospheric environment.
This special issue focuses on all aspects of waste heat recovery systems in various fields, in particular innovative waste heat recovery systems, design and improvement of waste heat recovery systems, and control and optimization of waste heat recovery process. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
Methods of improving the efficiency of waste heat recovery;
Overview and potential assessment of waste heat recovery;
Numerical modelling and experimental evaluation of waste heat recovery system.
