The mining of coal in order to produce electricity has advantages and disadvantages, which divide the opinions of society. The same can be said for the…

Table 11: Solar energy collector type (Source: Kalogirou (2004)) In the textile industry, energy is mainly consumed for heating of liquid baths close to 100 oC for washing, bleaching and dyeing. Drying processes usually use hot air or gases from 100 to 130 oC as shown in Table 12. In a solar process heat system, interfacing of the collectors with conventional energy supplies must be done in a way compatible with the process. The easiest way to make this is by using heat storage, which can also…
