Abstract The heat-technological scheme for the production of zinc oxide from metallic zinc is considered. It is shown that the thermal efficiency factor of the existing industrial process is very low and is equal to 5%. The technological process thermodynamics analysis showed that the zinc vapor combustion exothermic reaction heat is sufficient to provide heat for all endothermic technology stages. The conditions and design of the installation, which make it possible to use this heat for all stages of the technological process, are considered. This provides an increase efficiency factor up to 44%.

The optimization of complex, electrical and electrochemical erosion processing focuses on improving quality and reducing energy consumption while processing, considering the actual growing of the energy crisis. The technological process is considered to be a system and its components are considered to be subsystems. This paper contains an analysis of the optimization methods that can be applied to dimensional processing using complex, electrical and electrochemical erosion and states the optimization directions and methods that can be used in order to increase the performance of some of the components of the technological process (the subsystems) or of the whole process (the system).

Reduction of energy consumption in the affordable housing sector is highly impacted by human behavior. However, only limited behavior change research exists that is aimed at reducing energy consumption in this sector. This study seeks to implement the first two phases of the community-based social marketing (CBSM) framework in an affordable housing setting. The goals of the research are to identify the optimal behaviors for energy reduction and to identify the perceived barriers and benefits associated with those behaviors in a low-income housing facility. The results of this study identify five target behaviors along with their barriers and benefits. In addition, the study identifies potential issues and nuances in the CBSM process that researchers should take into consideration during future implementations of CBSM in affordable housing environments.
