Salinity Gradient Heat Engines

About this book

Salinity Gradient Heat Engines classifies all the existing SGHEs and presents an in-depth analysis of their fundamentals, applications and perspectives. The main SGHEs analyzed in this publication are Osmotic, the Reverse Electrodialysis, and the Accumulator Mixing Heat Engines. The production and regeneration unit of both cycles are described and analyzed alongside the related economic and environmental aspects. This approach provides the reader with very thorough knowledge on how these technologies can be developed and implemented as a low-impact power generation technique, wherever low-temperature waste-heat is available. This book will also be a very beneficial resource for academic researchers and graduate students across various disciplines, including energy engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, physics, electrical and mechanical engineering. - Focuses on advanced, yet practical, recovery of waste heat via salinity gradient heat engines - Outlines the existing salinity gradient heat engines and discusses fundamentals, potential and perspectives of each of them - Includes economics and environmental aspects - Provides an innovative reference for all industrial sectors involving processes where low-temperature waste-heat is available.
