Putting forward an up-to-date Waste-to-Energy approach which combines experience, sophisticated modelling and technical-economic analysis, this book examines the current need for the maximum utilization of energy from wastes and the associated environmental impacts. With waste incinerators and industrial plants producing large amounts of pollutants, municipalities and also smaller decentralized operations are beginning to focus on waste research. The principal advantage of utilizing research results is the ability to apply a complex approach “from idea to industrial implementation” with respect to the needs of the market established via thorough market analysis. This book builds upon this locus with an original approach based on considering geographical aspects, the specifics of regions/micro-regions, and technological units and/or equipment. Key areas discussed and analyzed areas within the text include: strategic planning of locations of energy sources according to the nature of the respective region or micro-region, types and amounts of wastes, logistics, etc. using own original mathematical models; consideration of on-site processing of various types of waste and taking into account the character of the region (agricultural, industrial etc.); tailor-made technologies for energy recovery from various types of wastes, implementation of own technologies with original elements, and support for environmental protection based on advanced flue gas (i.e. off-gas in the case of incineration) cleaning methods.

The economical and efficient recovery of waste heat produced by industrial processes (such as chemical and petrochemical, food, pharmaceutical, energetics) and processes and applications in the municipal sphere (such as waste incinerators, heating plants, laundries, hospitals, server rooms) are priorities and challenges. This Special Issue focuses on heat exchangers as key and essential equipment for the practical realization of these challenges. The purpose of this Special Issue is to outline the latest insights and innovative and/or enhanced solutions from the design, production, operation, and maintenance points of view of heat exchangers in different applications of effective waste heat utilization.

History of engineering & technology --- waste heat recovery --- Organic Rankine Cycle --- turbo-compound --- brake specific fuel consumption --- engine thermal efficiency --- shell-and-tube heat exchanger --- disc-and-doughnut baffles --- segmental baffles --- multi-objective configuration optimization --- genetic algorithm --- computational fluid dynamics --- symmetric successive overrelaxation --- preconditioning --- performance --- cylindrical shape heat source --- thermoelectric generator --- radiative heat exchanger --- numerical analysis --- industrial experiment --- annular radiator --- performance calculation --- configuration optimization --- heat transfer unit --- plate-and-fin heat exchanger --- nondominated sorted genetic algorithm-II

Heat-transfer equipment, typically represented by, for example, heat exchangers, process furnaces, and steam boilers, is among the essential equipment used for production processes in a number of industries (e.g., chemical and petrochemical, food, pharmaceutical, power, aviation and space) as well as for processes and applications in the communal sphere (e.g., waste incineration plants, heating plants, laundries, hospitals, server rooms, agriculture applications). Increasing demands for economical and efficient heat energy management can only be met when not only the layout of the whole system but also the individual heat-transfer equipment and its details are designed according to state-of-the-art knowledge. The purpose of this Special Issue is to present the latest advances in designing, modeling, testing, and operating heat-transfer equipment, including unconventional and innovative designs of heat-transfer equipment and their applications.
