Thermodyamic and transport data for the systems of polymers and subcritical and supercritical gases

Thermodynamic and transport data for polymer systems in sub and supercritical fluids were presented. For supercritical fluids design the thermodinamic data, mass transfer data and energy consumption are needed. The results about measurement of phase equilibria, diffusion, viscosity, density in the supercritical fluids were presented.

Method and apparatus for increasing the efficiency of low-temperature or hightemperature heating systems by heat pump principle utilization

The method and apparatus for increasing the efficiency of a low-temperature or high temperature heating system, comprising a primary heat releasing unit (i.e. cogeneration unit with fuel cell (FC) or internal combustion engine (ICE)) for co-generation of the heat and power, and at least one secondary heat releasing unit (i.e. heat pump (HP)) for utilization of at least one of the available waste/renewable energy heat sources (HS) from the ambient (A), where the heat generated by said heat pump is preferably used for preheating the heat transfer medium in the return line of the closed loop heating system, wherein a primary heat releasing unit is used to heat the heat transfer medium to the required temperature level of the heat distribution network. The apparatus according to the invention may comprise one or more heat pumps (HP) of the same or different types, and one or more primary heat releasing units in serial, parallel or cascade connection circuits.

"The European Summer School in High Pressure Technology, ESS-HPT"

Duration of Summer School: "The European Summer School in High Pressure Technology, ESS-HPT", was 14 days in July 2017. The course was on two locations first in University of Maribor and afterwards on Graz University of Technology in Austria. The European Summer School in High Pressure Technology is promoted by the members of the Working Party “High Pressure Technology” of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE). All members, recognised European experts, both in the theoretical aspects and in the industrial applications of high pressure technologies, will present the keynote lectures.
