title: Educating for conscious awareness

authors: Palovich, Kathryn

subjects: consciousness

abstract: Conscious awareness implies a connection with all of life. Being conscious means acting with more intention, having greater self-regulating behaviour, and demonstrating a deeper awareness of the causes and consequences of actions. This paper describes a course design for the development of consciousness awareness in management education. The purpose of the course, Managing with Spirit, is to encourage students to be more aware of their relationships with themselves, their community, and the planet as integrated wisdom. The three sections of the course (inner leadership, spirit at work, and the science of interconnection) all contribute to developing practices of reflection, mindfulness, and presencing for deeper awareness. From this, students can bring significant skills into the organizational context that include improved interpersonal skills, creativity, adaptability, problem-solving, leadership skills, compassion, and ecological awareness. These skills enable our future managers to be better equipped to deal with the increasingly complex issues that are facing organizations as they understand and appreciate the sacredness of our interconnection with each other and our planet.

title: Heat Transfer Enhancement in Heat Recovery Loops Using Nanofluids as the Intermediate Fluid

authors: Tarighaleslami, Amir Hossein

abstract: In this paper, the effect of replacing water with various nanofluids as the heat transfer media in an industrial Heat Recovery Loop (HRL) have been modelled. Generally, nanofluids are prepared by distributing a nanoparticle through a base fluid such as water. Suspended nanoparticles slightly affect the thermal and physical properties of the base fluid. Primarily nanoparticles are added to improve the fluid’s heat transfer characteristics by increasing its Reynolds number and thermal conductivity. Results show that by applying various HRL design methods and a nanofluid as an intermediate fluid, an increase in heat recovery is possible without the need for extra heat exchanger area and infrastructure. With the addition of 1.5 vol.% CuO nanoparticles to the HRL fluid using constant temperature storage method, heat recovery from liquid-liquid heat exchangers increases between 5 % and 9 %. In the case of air-liquid exchangers, the air-side heat transfer coefficient limits the impact of using a nanofluid. In other cases, the duty available from the process stream, such as a condenser, significantly restricts the heat transfer benefit of using a nanofluid. Alternative to increasing heat recovery, results show that applying a nanofluid in the HRL design phase enables heat exchanger area to decrease significantly for liquid-liquid matches.
