Hydrogen for Synthetic Fuels via Nuclear Energy
Fluctuations in availability and recent increases in price of petroleum have had profound effects on the national economy. As synthetic fuels, in particular, hydrogen, become increasingly attractive, nuclear energy has a role in developing such fuels. It is postulated that the nuclear radiation of the fission process itself can be utilized directly in fluid fueled devices or radiation and heat ...
متن کاملA Gas-phase Electrochemical Reactor for Carbon Dioxide Reduction back to Liquid Fuels
We discussed here on a novel approach to recycle CO2 back to liquid fuels by using nanostructured carbon-based materials (doped with suitable metal nanoparticles) as electrocatalysts. This approach is based on the development of a new photo-electrocatalytic (PEC) reactor, working in gas phase, which is quite different from the conventional reactors that operate typically in aqueous slurry and/o...
متن کاملAlternative Fuels from Biomass and Their Impact on Carbon Dioxide Accumulation
A number of transportation fuels can be produced from renewable resources. The major fractions of lignocellulosic biomass, cellulose and hemicellulose, can be broken down into sugars that can be fermented into ethanol. Biomass can also be gasified to a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen for catalytic conversion into methanol. Algae could consume carbon dioxide from power plants and other s...
متن کاملHydrogen and Ethanol as Potential Alternative Fuels Compared to Gasoline under Improved Exhaust Gas Recirculation
In the present study, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method have been utilized to investigate the effects of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and initial charge pressure by means of using a supercharger on the emissions and performance of a SI engine. This engine is fueled separately by gasoline and two potential alternative fuels, hydrogen and ethanol. The results of simulation are compar...
متن کاملEncapsulated liquid sorbents for carbon dioxide capture.
Drawbacks of current carbon dioxide capture methods include corrosivity, evaporative losses and fouling. Separating the capture solvent from infrastructure and effluent gases via microencapsulation provides possible solutions to these issues. Here we report carbon capture materials that may enable low-cost and energy-efficient capture of carbon dioxide from flue gas. Polymer microcapsules compo...
