several processes have been proposed for natural gas liquefaction due to the vast utilization of lng as a reliable and relatively easy to use fuel. even though the merits and demerits of different process have been studied, a dearth of comprehensive technical and economical comparative investigation of these methods makes further broad examination a necessity. this article is presented to addre...

â liquefied natural gas (lng) is the most economical way of transporting natural gas (ng) over long distances. liquefaction of ng by using vapor compression refrigeration system requires high operating and capital cost. due to lack of systematic design methods for multistage refrigeration cycles, the conventional approaches of determining optimal cycle configuration are mostly based on trial-an...

the mixing behavior of the gas-liquid phase in three loop bioreactors was investigated. a gas-induced external airlift loop bioreactor (ealb), a forced-liquid vertical tubular loop bioreactor (vtlb) and a forced-liquid horizontal tubular loop bioreactor (htlb) were used for mixing studies as well as biomass production from natural gas. the effect of design parameters, riser to downcomer cross s...

this paper assesses the design guidelines of different classification codes for the liquefied natural gas carriers considering the effect of liquid sloshing. with regard the increasing importance of lng carriers in today’s marine transportation, and also considering that the marine accidents involve significant loss, classification societies by regulating national and international standards ai...

In 2019, Malaysia's export scale was USD 237.8 billion, of which E&E products accounted for the largest share, 38%. This paper utilizes Gravity Model to analyse determinants industry exports. The results show that GDP and distance are in line with theory gravity model. Besides, exports based on H-O theory; can be increased by trading countries different factor endowments. appreciation ringg...

The global oceans are considered a major sink of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). Rain is known to alter the physical and chemical conditions at the sea surface, and thus influence the transfer of CO2 between the ocean and atmosphere. It can influence gas exchange through enhanced gas transfer velocity, the direct export of carbon from the atmosphere to the ocean, by altering the sea skin temp...

US shale gas production is generally expected to continue its fast rise. However, a cautious evaluation is needed. Shale gas resource estimates are potentially overoptimistic and it is uncertain to which extent they can be produced economically. Moreover, the adverse environmental effects of ever more wells to be drilled may lead to a fall in public acceptance and a strengthening of regulation....

One goal of environmental civic education is preparing students, both as citizens and professionals, to use effective arguments in public debates. Such debates include dominantly economic claims, which are multifaceted rarely taught schools. A learning unit that applied the pedagogical principles socio-scientific issues was developed for ‘Israel’s Natural Gas Export Policy’, a real sustainabili...
