Overview: 2. Research Background: Background of the Research Topic: The automotive industry’s trend towards mass aluminization, starting in the mid-to-late 1980s, has led
1. Overview: 2. Research Background: The research addresses the growing global energy demand, projected to increase by 33% by 2050 [1]. A significant portion of energy is wasted as low-grade waste heat in industries like manufacturing and power generation [2, 4]. Conventional waste heat recovery (WHR) methods using heat exchangers often face challenges such as
