Recent improvements in HVAC control networking technologies together with an improved understanding of the nature of cooling loads in buildings offer enormous potential improvements in the cost effectiveness of district cooling plants. By carefully coordinating the district cooling plant design with a digital controls network to the loads served, the following economic advantages over tradition...

Future energy systems and thus the climate are affected by many factors, such as energy resources, energy demand, energy policy and the choice of energy technologies. Energy systems of the future are facing three main challenges; the steady growth of global energy demand, the energy resource depletion, as well as the increasing emissions of carbon dioxide (CO 2) and other greenhouse gases and t...

We investigated the effect of multi cycle heating-cooling treatment (HCT) (1, 2, and 3 cycles at 85, 95, 105 °C) on physical properties (color, pasting, crystallinity) morphological sweet potato flour (SPF). The results showed that lightness, pasting viscosity, relative crystallinity SPF decreased gradually as heating temperature numbers were increased. No significant differences crystalline pa...
