Hydrothermal pretreatment of biomass can improve fuel characteristics based on the decomposition properties subcritical water. Thus, this study used a hydrothermal treatment to empty fruit bunches (EFBs), which are generated as waste after palm oil extraction. The experimental reaction temperature was increased from 180 °C 250 at an interval 10 and mass ratios between dry sample water content w...

The FTM-West (“Fuel Treatment Market” model for U.S. West) is a dynamic partial market equilibrium model of regional softwood timber and wood product markets, designed to project future market impacts of expanded fuel treatment programs that remove trees to reduce fire hazard on forestlands in the U.S. West. The model solves sequentially the annual equilibria in wood markets over a historical p...

Automotive Systems A u to m o tive Sstem s Th e fuel pressure control system (FPCS) was developed to comply with increasingly strict fuel-effi ciency and emissions regulations by improving fuel economy and reducing emissions. It controls the discharge fl ow rate of the fuel pump and fuel injection pressure in accordance with engine operating conditions. Past fuel supply systems have operated th...

Magnesium aluminosilicate and magnesium borosilicate glass formulations were developed evaluated for the immobilisation of radioactive waste known as Magnox sludge. Glass compositions synthesised using two simplified bounding simulants, including corroded metallic uranium at loadings up to 50 wt.%. The glasses immobilising simulant formed generally homogenous fully amorphous glasses, while thos...

in this study a pseudo comprehensive carbon footprint model for fossil fuel power plants is presented. parameters which their effects are considered in this study include: plant type, fuel type, fuel transmission type, internal consumption of the plant, degradation, site ambient condition, transmission and distribution losses. investigating internal consumption, degradation and site ambient con...
