Abstract
This paper presents various applications of mathematical modeling to several problems of interest in the field of Energy, all of them developed in our research group. Among these are geothermal heat pumps, heat transfer in grinding process, photonic solutions to increase the efficiency of solar panels and metabolic modeling of microbial systems for production of next-generation biofuels.
Furthermore, we focus on an example of technology transfer to society, promoted by our research group and resulting in the creation of a spin-off: Energesis Engineering, a company that not only is implementing geothermal HVAC systems in buildings, but which is also developing strong R&D activity, mainly on two areas: energy efficiency in buildings and the use of the soil as a focus for heat exchange. Both fields require the development of sophisticated numerical simulation models.
