A Seabased wave energy device: An experimental investigation
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Ocean waves are a largely untapped treasure-house of renewable energy resource, and the potential renewable energy harvested from ocean waves is considerable around the world. Abundant research and development on this field ... -
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 ... -
Carbon Dioxide Emissions Reduction in New Zealand Transport Sector
(University of Waikato, 2016)Carbon dioxide reduction from New Zealand transport sector can be reduced to 1990 levels if a wide range of methods are adopted such as fuel mix, electrification of vehicles and rail, and cycling. A comprehensive analysis ... -
Exploration of a digital twin concept for income maximisation of the Waikaremoana Power Scheme
(The University of Waikato, 2022)Digital twins are digital emulations of real-world objects or systems which mirrors the asset in terms of both behaviour and likeness. Genesis Energy Ltd, an electricity generation company in New Zealand, is interested in ... -
Heat Integrated Milk Powder Production
(University of Waikato, 2014)Dairy processing is critical to New Zealand’s (NZ) economy producing NZ$13 billion in exports for 2012 while consuming 32 PJ of fossil fuels for process heat. Three quarters of NZ dairy exports are milk powders. This thesis ... -
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 ... -
Unified Total Site Heat Integration: Targeting, Optimisation and Network Design
(The University of Waikato, 2018)Process industries in New Zealand use 214.3 PJ of process heat, of which approximately 65 % is fossil fuels. Despite increasing energy demands, depleting fossil fuel resources, and pressure to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions, ... -
Vacuum Steam Desuperheating and Condensation: An Experimental Investigation
(University of Waikato, 2015)Steam condensation plays an essential role in supplying and removing heat in many industrial applications, including the energy sector. It therefore is a phenomena of significance that requires deep understanding. This ...
