There have been numerous studies pertaining to energy conservation
and the energy footprint in various manufacturing processes.
One of the most accessible methodologies is to measure and
assess energy consumption in different processes or different range
of parameters. Liow (2009) compared energy consumption components
of different micro-CNC facilities. Fratila (2010) compared
environmental aspects of near-dry machining and flood machining.
Pusavec et al. (2010a, 2010b) performed analysis on environmental
aspects and cost components of conventional, high pressure jet
assisted, and cryogenic machining. For optimization of process
conditions, Rajemi et al. (2010) found optimized turning conditions
based on tool wear, and analyzed the power distribution for
different cutting speeds. Bhushan (2013) studied an empirical
model for optimized turning conditions using response surface
methodology.
