fuels win? http://www.carbonbrief.org/blog/2013/03/energy-return-on-investment-which-fuels-win/ * 20 Mar 2013, 16:00 * Mat Hope and Ros Donald By Arnold Paul The days of easy to extract fossil fuels are numbered. Companies are using more energy-intensive methods to get to conventional fossil fuels, and turning to harder-to-extract fuels such as shale gas. But do these sources give us a good return on the energy we invest? A new article investigates how assessing this return could help

Hydroelectric Power Plants When we walk into our living rooms and flip on the light switch, we get electricity. It’s something we do multiple times a day without giving it much thought. It’s only when the power goes out during a storm that we realize how much we take electricity for granted. How do we get electricity? How are our neighborhoods powered? While Maysville, KY residents and businesses obtain electricity from coal powered power plants, many other areas obtain power from

Carbon footprint Name Institutional Affiliation According to the carbon calculator, my greenhouse gas emission was estimated to be 27 tons per year (Lynas, & HarperCollins, 2007). Out of this emission, the amount of carbon dioxide produced per year was 83.3%. This percentage of carbon dioxide is mostly contributed by home energy. The high amounts of greenhouse gases produced is due to the usage of hydrocarbons in heating and lighting where an estimate of 2.5 tons of carbon dioxide are

1. Introduction Hydrogen (H2) is a handy energy carrier that can be used in a variety of applications and ultimately constitutes a potentially substitute for petroleum products [1]. Hydrogen is often stored in gaseous or liquid forms. However, the storage of hydrogen in the form of metallic hydrides is a promised method and presents various advantages, mainly higher density of storage and safety issues [2]. The research and the development of new hydrogen storage materials opened new possibilities

this contoctic effects changing drastic effects in the mathematicaldistribution of patterns over time of ranging from years to years. The historical backgroung of the scientific invention of climate and climate change began in start of 19th century when ice ages and other natural changes in paleoclimate were first suspected and the natural greenhouse effect first identified. (Neumann, 1985). In second half of 19th century, scientists first argued that human emissions of greenhouse gases could

1) Hazardous waste management regulations across the world During the last quarter of the 20th century, important multilateral environmental agreements covering key elements in the "production-to-disposal" management of hazardous chemicals with toxic, persistent, and bio accumulative characteristics, were negotiated. There have been various multinational agreements and initiatives related to chemical production, use, disposal, and reuse.. In addition, a number of important regional multilateral

Abstract— The pump is one the most common machine in all industries, whether its small scale or heavy industries. In the present scenario of energy crisis, it would be advisable to conserve, even the minute proportion of energy. In the centrifugal pump, the inefficiency is mainly due to the hydraulic losses in its various components. In this phase, mathematical analysis is done to predict the performance characteristics curve of the single stage centrifugal pump. This methodology is based on the
