To reduce water consumption in the cooling process of this sector, hybrid cooling systems are proposed. As these systems consume water and energy simultaneously, their operation management needs to be done dynamically, considering water-energy nexus. In the present research, considering regional water and energy scarcities, an operation optimization framework is proposed for the operation management of a direct reduction unit cooling system in a Steel Company. As the behavior of hybrid cooling systems varies over time under the influence of mechanical depreciation and change of environmental conditions, its modeling must be done in a dynamic and precise manner to optimize system performance. In the current study, system modeling is performed by using physical laws (white-box modeling) and machine learning techniques (black-box modeling). Machine learning has been used to modify the deviation of the white-box model from the system situation being caused by equipment degradation. Coupling a dynamic black-box model with the white-box model results in increased accuracy of about 53%. Application of the developed dynamic model, in combination with the proposed framework, has shown that water and energy loss rates could be reduced by 83%; and leads to an 85% saving in possible production reduction. This significant improvement is achieved by the hybrid model's precise prediction of outlet water temperature with 0.91 °C root mean square error; Therefore, using the developed model could help in the improvement of the hybrid cooling system's water and energy efficiency. It is also demonstrated that the model might act as a self-learning model which becomes more precise over time.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101279,"journal":{"name":"Water-Energy Nexus","volume":"4 ","pages":"Pages 149-164"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S258891252100014X/pdfft?md5=6095b197a5fda2da8dede22423c7eeec&pid=1-s2.0-S258891252100014X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86418209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, shrimp shells contain various ingredients such as chitosan, chitin, minerals, and proteins, which are essential for biomedical, agriculture, and industrial sectors. Chitosan is a polymer, and it is characterized by its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and non-toxicity. This study aimed to isolate a good quality chitosan polymer from the shrimp shells waste and characterize it by using spectroscopic methods. Initially, the collected shrimp shells were dried and ground for chemical treatment, collected from different regions of Oman. The coarse samples were dimerization, deproteinization, deacetylation and discoloration by using 1 M hydrochloric acid, 12.5 M sodium hydroxide, and 12 M hydrogen peroxide solution to give the corresponding products. Finally, the isolated chitin samples were deacetylated by microwaving at high temperature and pressure for 15 min. The yield of chitosan was approximately 53.31%, which 8.46 ± 0.06 gm, 7.02 ± 0.01 gm and 5.31 ± 0.01gm were the average weight yield after the demineralization, deproteinization and deacetylation processes, respectively. The degree of deacetylation of the extracted chitosan from the shrimp shells was very high of about 97.35% as calculated and identified by using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy. The content of calcium and phosphorus minerals of the chitosan was 117.6 ± 0.01 and 119.12 ± 0.09 parts per million (ppm), respectively, which was determined by using Inductive Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy. The morphological feature of the chitosan and standard was examined using Scanning Electron Microscopy and EDX, and the results showed no big morphological difference between the two samples and the elemental compositions were almost the same.

The diverted water from the Lower Usuma reservoir was rated as a good water type with index of 62.5% in the dry and 49.7% in the wet season by WHO’s permissible limits, whilst the Nigerian Standard for Drinking Water Quality rates it at 83.3% at the dry season and 69.0% at the wet season.

For its ubiquity, an ability to predict the energy demand for community water supply would help better quantify the water-energy nexus at the community level. However, communities differ in size and distance from the water source, among other variations; no formalism is currently in use for making this energy prediction. Here, we describe a conceptual model and mechanistic formulation for predicting the energy demand of a community water supply in the context of a regional, multi-community supply system. We make the novel methodological integration of scaling analysis and life cycle assessment to account for both network effects and life cycle effects on energy intensity. We also make the novel mechanistic integration of hydraulic energy loss and allometric energy scaling to account for both linear transmission energy and nonlinear distribution energy. With these integrative steps, we create a novel “leaf on a stem” network model and mechanistically parameterized formula for predicting the energy demand of a community water supply, given in life cycle quantity and as the sum of community distribution energy in sublinear scaling with community size and regional transmission energy in linear scaling with the community’s distance from the regional water source. We validate the predictive model by empirically verifying the model parameters through a detailed case study of consumption communities within a regional supply system in the US Great Lakes region. This simple, mechanistic predictive model may help substantiate the concept of water-energy nexus and facilitate energy assessment for community water supply.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101279,"journal":{"name":"Water-Energy Nexus","volume":"4 ","pages":"Pages 1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.wen.2020.12.003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76853636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
