Master the exact thermal engineering techniques and adaptive frameworks you need to slash operational costs, conquer strict environmental regulations, and transform complex waste management challenges into high-efficiency energy solutions.

The role of smarter waste management and energy systems in industry development, waste management, and energy efficiency is a critical issue across industries today. The growing need to handle increasing waste volume while meeting strict environmental regulations has made innovative approaches essential. Industries face challenges like reducing operational costs, minimizing environmental harm, and complying with sustainability goals, while the demand for clean energy solutions that optimize resources and reduce waste is higher than ever. This book aims to bridge the gap between the theoretical principles of engineering thermodynamics and the practical challenges of municipal waste management. It explores how thermodynamic concepts can be applied to enhance energy efficiency and recovery in waste treatment systems. By incorporating advanced thermal engineering techniques such as heat exchangers, solar cooling, and trigeneration systems, the book offers actionable insights for creating sustainable and energy-efficient waste management solutions. These methods provide a strong foundation for addressing the energy demands associated with waste treatment while minimizing environmental impacts. The book addresses the inherent uncertainty and complexity of decision-making in waste management. Using fuzzy logic principles, it provides a framework for accommodating incomplete data and subjective judgments, enabling municipalities to adapt to variable scenarios such as changing waste compositions and fluctuating energy demands. This book is a comprehensive resource for academics, researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals, providing a blend of theoretical knowledge and real-world applications, making it a valuable tool for solving complex problems in municipal waste management.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Kennys Bookstore, Olney, Maryland, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us.

You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

Exceptions to the right of withdrawal

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:

The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
