Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsINVESTIGATIONS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF VAPOUR COMPRESSION SYSTEM RETROFITTED WITH ZEOTROPIC REFRIGERANT R404AA. Lovelin Jerald, D. SenthilKumaranThe environmental impacts like global warming and ozone depletion has become a challenge to the refrigeration and air conditioning industry. Chloro Fluoro Carbons (CFCs) and Hydro Flouro Carbons (HCFCs) are referred to as an Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) because once these gases are released into the environment and reach the stratosphere, depletes the ozone layer. This research paper aims to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2014 · 7,626 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNASA Sees First in 2018 the Direct Proof of Ozone Hole RecoveryRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuFor the first time, scientists have shown through direct observations of the ozone hole by a satellite instrument, built by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, that levels of ozone-destroying chlorine are declining, resulting in less ozone depletion. Measurements show that the decline in chlorine, resulting from an international ban on chlorine-containing human-produced chemicals called Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), has resulted … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2018 · 10,688 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResponses in Nitrogen Mass and Nitrogen Metabolism of Wild Sugarcane (Saccharum spontaneum L.) UV-B Radiation Under Field ConditionsYanqun Zu, Yuan Li, Haiyun Wang, Yongmei HeField experiments were conducted to evaluate effects of enhanced UV-B radiation (280-315 nm) on intraspecific responses in nitrogen mass and nitrogen metabolism of six wild sugarcane (Saccharum spontaneum L.) clones. The clones were collected from original sites with different altitudes (4-1780 m above sea-level) and latitudes (18-38°N). The supplemental UV-B radiation was 5.00 kJ⋅m-2, simulating a depletion of 20% stratospheric … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 7 Jan 2014 · 6,656 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Eco friendly Refrigerants Usage in Air-ConditionerC. Chinnaraj, R. Vijayan, P. GovindarajanProblem statement: There are two types of global warming contributions through refrigeration and air conditioning systems. The first one is the Direct Global Warming Potential (DGWP) due to the emission of refrigerants and their interaction with heat radiation. The second one is the Indirect Global Warming Potential (IDGWP) due to the emission of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) by consuming the energy … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 27 Dec 2011 · 8,462 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Air Pollution on Ozone Layer Thickness in Troposphere over the State of KuwaitH. O. Al Jeran, A. R. KhanTroposphere ozone layer acts as a shield against all ultraviolet radiation approaching the planet Earth through absorption. It was noticed in mid 80s that ozone layer has thinned on the poles of the planet due to release of man-made substances commonly known as Ozone Depleting Substances, (ODS) into its atmosphere. The consequences of this change are adverse as the harmful … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 19,488 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Philosophical Analysis of the Challenges of Science and Technology in Contemporary Africa: The Nigerian ExperimentAkinnawonu Benson MonehinScience and technology engendered unexpected social, political and health related problems. These included corrupt and dubious utilization of information and communication technology, environmental pollution and protection and depletion of the ozone layer which endangered human health. This sstudy examined the positive and negative implications of science and technology in Africa using Nigeria as a case study. This attempt became germane … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 8,267 accessesView PDFCite
