Dear friends, partners of FME HighEFF!
|
I would like to use this opportunity to wish you all a nice summer and relaxing holiday period. Within HighEFF we have finally received the formal response from the midterm evaluation and the decision from the Research Council is that HighEFF will be granted funding for the remaining three years without any further requirements for corrective measures or modifications as a consequence of the evaluation. We are of course delighted with this feedback and look forward to the remaining years of HighEFF and the further work towards fulfilling our ambitions, together with the HighEFF partners!
|
As you probably have noticed, we have increased the focus on public communication from HighEFF in 2021. Some highlights from this are available here;
|
So, this might be some good reading and easy listening for you during a relaxing summer holiday?
|
Have a great summer – hope to see you all again during the autumn (crossing fingers for normal working conditions again soon)!

HighEFF PhD Saif R. Kazi
Congratulations to Saif R. Kazi, who successfully defended his HighEFF-sponsored PhD thesis on the 11th of June at the Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, USA.
|
The title of his work was "Mathematical Modeling and Optimization of Heat Exchanger Design in Process Flowsheets”. His work will contribute to the practical, energy efficient and optimal design of heat exchanger systems such as refrigeration cycles and heat-to-power cycles in industrial processes.
|
|
He will begin his career at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.

Resirkulering av avgass i silisiumproduksjon
|
|
|
|
Produksjon av silisium innebærer utslipp av CO2, i størrelsesorden 5 tonn CO2 for hvert tonn silisium. Karbonfangst kan være en mulig løsning for å fjerne dette utslippet, men CO2-konsentrasjonen i avgassen fra ovnene er ofte for lav for kostnadseffektiv CO2 fangst. En mulig løsning for å redusere fangstkostnaden ... Read more
