Budget: Clean coal, hydrogen, and nuclear energy fare well in DOE budget

Clean Hydrogen Energy and Electric Power Production with CO2 Capturing by Using Coal Gasification

Clean hydrogen is the major energy carrier for power production. The conversion of CO to CO2 and zero emission during hydrogen energy production causes high capital cost. It is a matter of prestige to optimize the process in order to make zero emission and cost effective production of clean hydrogen energy and electric power. In this era, coal gasification is th...

Earth ’ S Global Energy Budget

W eather and climate on Earth are determined by the amount and distribution of incoming radiation from the sun. For an equilibrium climate, OLR1 necessarily balances the incoming ASR, although there is a great deal of fascinating atmosphere, ocean, and land phenomena that couple the two. Incoming radiant energy may be scattered and reflected by clouds and aerosols or absorbed in the atmosphere....

Appraising the brain's energy budget.

I the average adult human, the brain represents about 2% of the body weight. Remarkably, despite its relatively small size, the brain accounts for about 20% of the oxygen and, hence, calories consumed by the body (1). This high rate of metabolism is remarkably constant despite widely varying mental and motoric activity (2). Despite these well-known facts about the brain’s large energy budget, a...
