In Sri Lanka, firewood is regarded as a common conventional fuel, mainly in food preparation purposes. Essentially due to economically availability, firewood has still been using as the main source to lit fire in rural areas. Other than for household food preparation, firewood is still the main source of generating heat in food related rural industries, such as tea factories, bakeries, hotels etc.

The consumption of papers in various applications has been increased rapidly during the past decades. To produce one ton of paper; 12 trees, 540 000 liters of water, fuel consumption for transporting the trees are used whereas 10 liters of water is needed to make one A4 paper [1]. Thus during paper production natural resources are enormously utilized as well as many chemicals are involved in the process.

The 2019 Pulse of the fashion industry report discovers that the series of sustainability progress in the industry of fashion has slowed by third in the previous year and not moving fast to counter balance the misdeed impact of rapid growth in the fashion industry. Fashion industry will be the net contributor for the climate change, increasing the obstacles which that promising of keeping global warming below one and half degrees Celsius during the reminding years will be not achieved if this circumstance of the fashion industry continue in the future, as long as fashion industry ranks the first place out of environment polluting industries.

Inside buildings, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems are utilized to provide a comfortable environment. However, they account for a significant percentage of overall total energy consumption: in the United States, they account for about 50% of building final energy consumption and 20% of total energy consumption. [1]. The installation of a heat exchanger between the exhaust and fresh air streams is critical, owing to the significant energy savings. [2], [3]. Thermal wheels have recently gotten a lot of attention because of their high efficiency and low-pressure loss when compared to other energy recovery solutions [4]. The goal of this research is to give a comprehensive study and optimization of Thermal wheel design, with the goal of enhancing sensible effectiveness while reducing pressure loss based on channel shape.
