Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Electricity Price on Saving Energy Transmitted from External Building WallsSamah K. Alghoul, Ammar O. Gwesha, Abdurrauf M. NaasSpace heating and cooling loads consume a significant part of the national produced energy in many countries. Therefore, substantial energy savings can be achieved by the reduction of spent energy in this category. Since wall insulation is rarely used in Libya, this research was conducted to study the effect of electricity price on residential heating and cooling energy consumption and … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 May 2016 · 10,842 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural Dynamics of the Distribution Mechanism with Rocking Tappet with RollFlorian Ion T. Petrescu, John Kaiser Calautit, Dragan MarinkovicIn this study, the authors present a new method to dynamically synthesize a mechanism with rotary cam and rotated tappet with roll, used with priority at the distribution mechanisms from the heat engines with internal combustion. This type of distribution can improve the changes of gases and may decrease significantly the level of vibration, noises and emissions. As long as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2015 · 9,290 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRoles of Macroeconomic Variables on Agricultural Diversification in NigeriaSunday B. Akpan, Samuel J. Udoka, Inimfon V. PatrickThe study examined the trend in agricultural diversification index from 1960 to 2014 in Nigeria. It also determined the influence of some macroeconomic variables on the estimated index. Augmented Dickey-Fuller-GLS unit root test showed that all series were integrated of order one. The long-run and short-run elasticity of the agricultural diversification index with respect to the specified macro-economic variables were … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 9 Jul 2015 · 7,491 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Consumer Awareness of Energy Efficiency in Saudi ArabiaSamar Khan, Hafez Abdo, Abdulrahman Al-GhabbanScholars have been interested in energy efficiency/conservation and consumer behaviour for over 35 years and research in this domain continues to grow. Energy efficiency and conservation are significant policy tools that can be introduced by governments to help save the environment. The kingdom of Saudi Arabia possesses a wealth of energy resources. The exploitation of these resources has allowed the … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 25 Apr 2015 · 9,477 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeometrical Synthesis of the Distribution MechanismsFlorian Ion T. PetrescuIn this study the author presents shortly some few original trigonometric methods to make the synthesis of some main distribution mechanisms. One presents four main modules of distribution mechanisms, with rotary cam and translated or rotated tappet plane or with roll, used with priority at the distribution mechanisms from the heat engines with internal combustion. These types of distribution mechanisms … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 13 Apr 2015 · 8,858 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLED TECHNOLOGY FOR BUILT AND ENVIRONMENT OF MALAYSIAC. H. Lim, Masoud Dalman, Mona Erfanian Salim et al.Increasing the country population and the trend of industrialization caused increasing Malaysia's electricity consumption. Light Emitting Diode (LED) is a new sustainable technology that has taken over the conventional lighting in built and environment in a few developed counties in the recent years. However, Malaysia is left behind in using this technology due to unfamiliarity of the decision makers on … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 1 Oct 2014 · 6,863 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractON THE CHALLENGES OF THE USE AND INTEGRATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCESMariano MartínOverview: Although renewable energy sources are plentiful, their availability is highly volatile in time and distributed across regions while and the processes that transform them into useful power or chemicals are underdeveloped. In this work we discuss on the scope for the use and integration of renewable energy sources and the future development of the alternatives. Energy, the sources and … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 11 Sep 2014 · 7,540 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Design of a Photovoltaic Water Pumping and Treatment SystemAbderrahmen Ben Chaabene, Med Faouzi Elkaroui, Anis SellamiThrough the world, the exploitation of solar energies knew a strong growth these last years. It is interesting to exploit them on the place of consumption, by directly transforming into heat, or in electricity according to needs and especially in remote areas where power from utility is not available or is too costly to install. The use of photovoltaic sources … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 4 Jul 2013 · 7,628 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWhy is China the World’s Leader of Solar Water Heater Production and Consumption?Lee Liu, Jie LiuSustainable energy programs in developing countries face many challenges. The purpose of this research is to examine why China has been successful as the world’s leader of Solar Water Heater (SWH) production and consumption. The study is based on field work in China in the past two years in areas where SWHs are widely used. The results may help provide … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 18 Apr 2013 · 7,495 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEVIDENCE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL KUZNETS CURVE: IMPLICATIONS OF INDUSTRIAL TRADE DATAJamalludin Sulaiman, Azlinda Azman, Behnaz SabooriThis study examines the dynamic relationship between CO2 emissions and economic growth in Malaysia for the period of 1980-2004. The evidence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) is tested by including energy consumption, dirty export from Malaysia to China and dirty import from China to Malaysia based on the two and three-digit ISIC data which reflect pollution-intensive manufacturing. Using dirty … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 26 Mar 2013 · 7,251 accessesView PDFCite
