Accounting for stream variability in retrofit problems using Monte Carlo simulation
(2018)The aim of this paper is to use Monte Carlo simulation to analyse the effect of stream data variation on the economic performance of retrofit designs. The input stream data is fitted to a distribution which can be sampled ... -
An investigation of milk powder deposition on parallel fins
(2012-09-23)One method to reduce the energy consumption of industrial milk spray dryers is to recover waste heat from the exhaust dryer air. A significant challenge associated with this opportunity is the air contains a small amount ... -
Analysis of skim milk powder deposition on stainless steel tubes in cross-flow
(Elsevier, 2015)Particulate fouling on the gas side of heat recovery equipment is a common industrial problem. The aim of this study is to characterize the deposition of skim milk powder on a single bare tube in cross-flow. A custom built ... -
Application of P-graph techniques for efficient use of wood processing residues in biorefineries
(AIDIC, 2016)It is anticipated that demand for chemicals and fuel derived from sustainably grown bio-mass will increase over the coming decades. Forest and wood processing residues and waste are likely to become a significant feedstock ... -
Appropriate placement of vapour recompression in ultra-low energy industrial milk evaporation systems using Pinch Analysis
(Elsevier, 2016)This study focuses on applying Pinch Analysis to an industrial milk evaporator case study to quantify the potential energy savings. Modern milk evaporators are typically integrated using both mechanical and thermal vapour ...

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 ... -
An integrated site and device selection methodology for the ocean wave energy sector
(The University of Waikato, 2021)The ocean covers approximately 70 % of the earth’s surface and contains an immense source of renewable energy, in terms of ocean waves. However, this resource is unevenly distributed throughout the world, and so, therefore, ... -
Automated retrofit of heat exchanger networks
(The University of Waikato, 2020)In a large industrial processing plant, a significant amount of process heat is generated using fossil fuels, contributing to New Zealand’s overall greenhouse gas emissions. While New Zealand’s renewable energy sources ... -
Pressure screening studies with wood pulp
(The University of Waikato, 2006)Pressure screening is used in paper making to separate components of a wood pulp slurry (water, wood fibre and solid contaminant material) and to concentrate the wood fibre. The complex solid-liquid and solid-solid mechanisms ... -
Botswana electricity sector planning and CO₂ emissions reduction through solar PV in office buildings
(The University of Waikato, 2017)Coal is the most abundant energy resource in Botswana, with a total reserve of about 212 billion tones. Currently 600 MW of electricity is generated from coal and 160 MW is generated from imported diesel fuel. With rising ...
