Food Saving and Food Sharing as an Urban Revitalization EffortHeather Troutman
The scope of this project course was to identify solutions for improved sustainability in an urban area. The neighborhood of Eimsbüttel in Hamburg, Germany was selected as a case study. An abandoned WWII was identified in the area. The project revitalize the bunker into a community center, as a hub for food saving, sharing and food waste awareness.
Optimization Potential of Induction Heating Systems by Stefan Schubotz and Ha...Fluxtrol Inc.
As published in Heat Processing (March 2015).
Depending on workpiece and process parameters, induction heating of components requires a certain amount of power. By simulation, experiments and experience, this needed energy can be well anticipated and enables the dimensioning of the converter. Basically, cost of the converter increases with rising provided power. Due to increasing energy expenses, efficiency of the system plays an important role. In this article, the influences of different process parameters on the efficiency of an example are investigated and valuable potential for improvement is demonstrated, so that the heating process is implemented with minimum converter power.
