Projection and Distribution of Waste Thermal Energy,

Abstract

The world estimate of total thermal energy available as waste heat for the environment is given, and is at best, crude. The crudeness is based on several factors, but foremost is the lack of ability to accurately project the future demands for energy in a manner that takes into account the factors involved. The problems and errors of the forecast are discussed.
