Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsProper Management of Planetary Hydrocarbon ResourcesFlorian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuMuch has been said about the planet's gas and oil resources and many assumptions and speculations have been made regarding their rapid depletion, but a report on the normal and judicious management of these important planetary resources for both energy and other various materials that are obtained today from them, such as composites, synthetic fibers for fabrics, plastics, rubber produced … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 24 May 2020 · 7,254 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBuses Running on GasRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.Today, the transport problem is not only very diverse and complex but also highly disputed in terms of the optimal way of achieving modern and ecological transports. The energy and social crisis that occurred in the 1970s and 1980s, which then haunted the planet repeatedly, becoming a major crisis, could be successfully avoided by postponing and reprogramming until mankind managed … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2018 · 7,532 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Parametric Optimization of an Organic Rankine Cycle Powered by Solar EnergyFrancesco Calise, Claudio Capuozzo, Laura VanoliThis study presents the simulation and performance analysis of a regenerative and superheated Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). To this scope, anew simulation model has been developed. The model is based on zero-dimensional energy and mass balances for all the components of the system. Shell and tube heat expanders with single shell and double tube pass have been chosen. Pump and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 15 May 2013 · 7,684 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLagrangian Micromixing Models for Concentration Fluctuations: An OverviewPaolo Monti, Giovanni Leuzzi, Andrea AmicarelliThis study presents a brief overview of the main features, theoretical formulations and validation tests of some Lagrangian micromixing models, currently used for estimations of the ensemble mean and the turbulent fluctuations of concentration. Their application fields regards several pollutant dispersion phenomena such as: accidents (power or production plants, terroristic attacks, hydrocarbons storage and transport, extraordinary emissions), odours (power plants … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 28 Dec 2012 · 6,779 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGaseous Emissions and Combustion Efficiency Analysis of Hydrogen-Diesel Dual Fuel Engine under Fuel-Lean ConditionPrateep Chaisermtawan, Sompop Jarungthammachote, Sathaporn Chuepeng, Thanya KiatiwatExhaust gas emissions from diesel engine combustion using alternative fuel may change in their quantities that can affect exhaust gas after-treatment devices and environmental ambient. This study presents theoretical analysis of combustion generated emissions and efficiency of hydrogen-diesel duel fuel in fuel-lean condition. A chemical equilibrium method by minimizing Gibbs free energy is employed to estimate exhaust gas products from … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 1 Sep 2012 · 7,509 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Typical Case Study: Solid Waste Management in Petroleum RefineriesJadea S. Alshammari, Fatma K. Gad, Ahmed A.M. Elgibaly, Abdul Rehman KhanThe current environmental concerns have forced developed and developing countries to reduce air, water and land pollution for sustainable growth. Solid refinery waste is cocktail of hydrocarbons, water, heavy metal and fine solids and is substantial in quantity. The principal processes of waste management focus mainly on waste source reduction, reusing, recycling, composting, incineration with or without energy recovery, fuel … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 9,767 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordUpgrading of Bio-Oil into High-Value Hydrocarbons via HydrodeoxygenationMurni M. Ahmad, M. Fitrir R. Nordin, M. Tazli AzizanProblem statement: World energy consumption is forecasted to grow significantly for the foreseeable future with fossil fuel remains the governing energy source. The demand in the need to explore alternative fuel source was further triggered by the overwhelmingly inconsistent cost of gasoline. Bio-oil is an alternative energy source produced from pyrolysis of biomass. However it is undesirable as a ready … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,823 accessesView PDF Cite
