Scope
ECOS is where engineers/scientists meet yearly to discuss developments in the general field of energy.
Starting with precise education in thermodynamics and its application to all forms of energy conversion, exergy, thermoeconomics, energy harvesting and bringing to life new energy systems have been the primary reason this conference has been going on for 28 years in all parts of the world but primarily in Europe.
The initial intent was to bring together the European scholars with those from other lands, particularly North America. For twenty seven years, this has been accomplished and a healthy conference has been held every year. Topics:
1. Fundamental & applied thermodynamics
2. Heat & mass transfer, fluid dynamics
3. Exergy analysis & Second Law analysis
4. Exergy and Raw Materials
5. Process integration, simulation & optimization of energy systems
6. Thermoeconomic analysis & optimization
7. Biomass / biofuels, biorefinery concepts, waste-to-energy
8. Nonbiomass renewable energy: solar, wind, water, others & hydropower
9. Fossil energy: coal, oil, natural gas
10. Nuclear power
11. Chemical reactions & reaction engineering
12. Engines, furnaces & boilers, combustion/gasification
13. Cogeneration and waste energy recovery
14. Energy conversion, storage and transport
15. Buildings, urban & distributed energy systems
16. Refrigeration & air conditioning, Heat pumps
17. Fuel cells
18. System operation, control, diagnostics & prognosis
19. Carbon dioxide capture, utilization & storage
20. Energy & water interactions, use of water resources
21. Industrial production, sustainability & use of resources
22. Energy policy & planning
23. Energy systems: social, environmental & sustainability issues
24. Life Cycle Assessment, industrial ecology, environmental impact of energy systems
25. Sustainability analysis of energy systems and components
