The design of both efficient and cost effective energy conversion systems is an on-going challenge facing energy engineers. With the increasing need to reduce the impact of waste from these systems on the environment and an ever increasing global demand for energy, especially in developing countries, it is becoming extremely important to develop even more accurate and systematic approaches for improving the design of energy systems.

Research topics in this area include:

• Co-generation Systems
• Exergy/Exergoeconomic Analysis of Thermal Systems.
