Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nazi, W. I. W., Wang, Y. D., & Roskilly, T. (2015, March). Methodologies to Reduce Cooling Load using Heat Balance Analysis: A Case Study in an Office Building in a Tropical Country. Presented at The 7th International Conference on Applied Energy – ICAE2015, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

The world is experiencing energy crisis since the 1970s due to the limitation in fossil fuel resources and increasing energy demand as a result of industrialisation and development which have taken place all over the world [1]. It is reported by Inte... Read More about Methodologies to Reduce Cooling Load using Heat Balance Analysis: A Case Study in an Office Building in a Tropical Country.

Heat utilisation technologies: A critical review of heat pipes (2015)
Journal Article
Chan, C., Siqueiros, E., Ling-Chin, J., Royapoor, M., & Roskilly, A. (2015). Heat utilisation technologies: A critical review of heat pipes. Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 50, 615-627. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2015.05.028

In electrical or thermal appliances, heat (thermal energy) must either be added into or removed from a system to maintain operational stability. Heat pipes can enhance the heat transfer capabilities without needing a significant temperature gradient... Read More about Heat utilisation technologies: A critical review of heat pipes.

Waste biomass from production process co-firing with coal in a steam boiler to reduce fossil fuel consumption: A case study (2013)
Journal Article
Gu, H., Zhang, K., Wang, Y., Huang, Y., Hewitt, N., & Roskilly, A. P. (2013). Waste biomass from production process co-firing with coal in a steam boiler to reduce fossil fuel consumption: A case study. Journal of Energy Chemistry, 22(3), 413-419. https://doi.org/10.1016/s2095-4956%2813%2960054-6

Waste biomass is always generated during the production process in industries. The ordinary way to get rid of the waste biomass is to send them to landfill or burn it in the open field. The waste may potentially be used for co-firing with coal to sav...
