An assessment of base load concentrating solar thermal power generation for New Zealand
(AUT University, 2011)With increasing pressure being placed on traditional energy sources, both in terms of supply and also regulatory, there is an increasing need to explore alternative generation technologies. In global terms, solar energy ... -
The Cold Chain in New Zealand
(2016-04-07)This presentation discussed the cold chain in New Zealand. -
The cold chain in New Zealand - A review
(Elsevier, 2018)Approximately 45 % of all exports from New Zealand are food products or by-products, and an estimated 60 % of these are exported in the refrigerated state. The leading food sectors in terms of volume and income are in ... -
Combinatorial structural-analytical models for the prediction of the mechanical behaviour of isotropic porous pure metals
(Elsevier, 2021)This work provides insight on the prediction of the mechanical behaviour of isotropic porous pure metals using empirical and structural-analytical models and proposes two new combinatorial structural-analytical models for ... -
A combined optical, thermal and electrical performance model of a Building Integrated Photovoltaic/Thermal Concentrator (BIPVTC)
(School of Engineering and Advanced Technology, Massey University., 2011)The electrical output of concentrating photovoltaic devices is significantly affected by the temperature of the photovoltaic cells. The ability to actively cool photovoltaic cells under concentrated radiation allows their ...

Investigation of the heat transfer enhancement effects of nanofluids in process heating and cooling
(The University of Waikato, 2022)The global energy system faces a dual challenge; the need for more energy and less carbon emission. Out of the 50 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases emitted each year, 24.2 % comes from energy use in industries such as ... -
Modelling heat transfer during chilling and freezing of packaged foods in industrial refrigeration facilities
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Industrial refrigeration equipment companies are continuously looking for ways to optimise the design of chilling and freezing tunnels in order to minimise food quality loss and increase the energy efficiency of the ... -
Optimising the drying process for grape (Vitis vinifera L.) using pre-treatments to maximise quality retention
(The University of Waikato, 2017)Grape (Vitis vinifera L.) is a valuable fruit, but highly perishable as it has high water and sugar content. Drying grape is an option for shelf-life extension. Reducing moisture content can prevent micro-organism growth, ... -
Osmotic Dehydration of Selected Commercial Crops
(University of Waikato, 2013)Osmotic dehydration can partially reduce the moisture content of most fruits and vegetables. This method was applied to New Zealand chestnuts and Philippine cassava. The effect of osmotic dehydration on mass transfer ... -
Investigation into the effects of flow distribution on the photovoltaic performance of a building integrated photovoltaic/thermal solar collector
(University of Waikato, 2013)The conversion of solar energy into usable forms of energy such as electricity and heat is attractive given the abundance of solar energy and the numerous issues recently raised in the consumption of fossil fuels. Solar ...
