Laboratory Profile and History

The Laboratory of Heat Transfer and Environmental Engineering belongs to the Energy Section of the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Aristotle University Thessaloniki, Greece. Founded in 1990, the Laboratory is responsible for eleven pre-graduate courses in the Mechanical Engineering Department, while also supervising doctoral candidates in the frame of their post-graduate studies. The Laboratory's primary research work is in the areas of:

Energy Systems: (a) Description, analysis and evaluation of energy technologies. (b) Rational use of energy in the industrial and domestic sectors. (c) Use of solid waste and biomass for energy production. (d) Development of Renewable energy systems. (e) Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) applications for energy systems. (f) Analysis and implementation of alternative financing schemes in the energy sector.

Environmental Engineering: (a) Simulation of transport and chemical transformation of pollutants in the atmosphere with the use of advanced air quality models. (b) Assessment of various measures for reducing air pollution levels. (c) Analysis of the impact of industrial activities and major public works on air quality. (d) Management and recycling of solid wastes. (e) Development and application of environmental management systems (ISO 14000 series, EMAS, LCA). (f) Integrated environmental assessment in urban areas with the use of informatics technologies. (g) Multimedia application in Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) studies.
