The Ethanol - Gas Flex Fuel car : What is the option value of choosing your own Fuel ?
Renewable energy sources are becoming more important as the world’s supply of fossil fuels decrease and also due to environmental concerns. Since 2003, when the ethanol-gasoline flex fuel car became commercially available in Brazil, the growth of this market has been significant, to the point where currently 40% of the fuel consumption in Brazil is from renewable biofuels. This has been made po...

متن کاملCheck your gas-handling system to maximize laser performance
Gas purity is a key factor in optimizr ing excirner and carbon dioxide laser performance. Gas impurities in these laser systems degrade beam profiles, reduce output powers, and shorten laser lifetimes. Much has already been done to reduce impurities-cleaner supply gases are now available, and laser systems are being conshucted of materials that produce significantly lower amounts of gas impurit...
متن کاملPerformance assessment of a hybrid fuel cell and micro gas turbine power system
In this paper, a hybrid solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and micro gas turbine (MGT) power system is parametrically studied to evaluate the effect of different operating conditions. The SOFC/MGT power system includes SOFC reactor, combustion chamber, compressor and turbine units, and two heat exchangers. The effects of fuel utilization, temperature, and pressure are assessed on performance of t...
متن کاملTuning Your Priors to the World
The idea that perceptual and cognitive systems must incorporate knowledge about the structure of the environment has become a central dogma of cognitive theory. In a Bayesian context, this idea is often realized in terms of "tuning the prior"-widely assumed to mean adjusting prior probabilities so that they match the frequencies of events in the world. This kind of "ecological" tuning has often...
