TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comparison of the performance of the two approaches using the commercial process simulation packages, Hysys & Aspen Plus, and show that both processes are expensive options to capture CO2 from coal power plants, however O2/CO2 appears to be a more attractive retrofit than MEA scrubbing.

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) is assessed focusing on the use of CO2 for fuel as well as for combined heat and power production.
Abstract: The continuously increasing share of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and EU targets for CO2 reduction and energy efficiency necessitate significant changes both on technical and regulatory level. Environmental challenges of CO2 emissions are assessed in a review of CO2 capture and utilisation technologies, offering new opportunities in CO2 economy. Commercial applications in the thermal power and industrial sector for pre and post combustion capture as well as the potential of direct air CO2 capture are reviewed. The potential of Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) is assessed focusing on the use of CO2 for fuel as well as for combined heat and power production. Combining CCU with energy storage as an evolutionary measure for balancing RES with thermal power under the power to fuel concept presents high market potentials for fuel and chemical production. Moreover, the recent progress in supercritical CO2 cycles for combined heat and power production is reported.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review on progress with passive heat transfer augmentation is presented, where inserts are used in the flow passage to augment the heat transfer rate, where the insert manufacturing process is simple and these techniques can be easily employed in an existing heat exchanger.
Abstract: Heat transfer augmentation techniques (passive, active or a combination of passive and active methods) are commonly used in areas such as process industries, heating and cooling in evaporators, thermal power plants, air-conditioning equipment, refrigerators, radiators for space vehicles, automobiles, etc Passive techniques, where inserts are used in the flow passage to augment the heat transfer rate, are advantageous compared with active techniques, because the insert manufacturing process is simple and these techniques can be easily employed in an existing heat exchanger In design of compact heat exchangers, passive techniques of heat transfer augmentation can play an important role if a proper passive insert configuration can be selected according to the heat exchanger working condition (both flow and heat transfer conditions) In the past decade, several studies on the passive techniques of heat transfer augmentation have been reported The present paper is a review on progress with the passi
