Hydrogen (H2) is considered as a promising and ideal source of energy for the future. This is due to the factor that it is clean and it produces an amount of energy that is higher than the one produced by other fuel on a mass basis (122 kJ g_1) [1]. In addition, its low heating value (LHV) is 2.4, 2.8 and 4 times higher than methane, gasoline and coal respectively [2]. For these reason, the amo...

This paper assesses the incineration capacity requirement of the Province of Turin through a detailed analysis of the mass streams and the properties of residual Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Historical data series were elaborated to study the trend evolution of household generation and separate collection. Residual MSW material compositions were calculated for each year over an observed period ...

In this paper we discuss entanglement properties of neutral kaons systems and their use for testing local realism. In particular we analyze a Hardy-type scheme [19] recently suggested for performing a test of hidden variable theories against standard quantum mechanics. Our result is that this scheme could in principle led to a conclusive test of local realism, but only if higher identification ...

In the present work, the air-steam biomass gasification model with tar has been developed based on the equilibrium constants. The simulation results based on two different models (with and without tar) have been validated by the experimental data. The model with tar can well predict the tar content in gasification; meanwhile, the predicted gas yield (GY), based on the model with tar, is much cl...

BACKGROUND The study's aim was to evaluate the relations between pulse pressure (PP), hypertension and anemia with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). MATERIALS AND METHODS The risk factors and prevalence of LHV were evaluated in 111 patients with CRF. RESULTS LVH was diagnosed in 81.9% of all patients. The prevalence of hypertension was 72.6%. Anemia was present in all patients. Of the var...

Livestock development sector remained conspicuous in many developed and developing countries. Nevertheless, animal manure management became an increasing concern relative to environmental economic constraints. The daily cow varies between 60-85 kg per 1000 of body biomass. Thus, 33 70 % biomass could be recovered the form dung for value added products such as bioenergy biofertilizer. Halhale da...

High-energy demand with rapid industrialization and mechanization combined environmental pollution due to the burning of fossil fuels has driven a shift toward renewable energy. Biogas derived from biomass is potential energy source that can be used in different sectors such as transportation sector, electricity generation, heat production, power (CHP) systems, fuel cells. Moreover, upgraded bi...

The following analysis is presented to serve as a preliminary design guide for micro turbine engine designers to consider the potential advantages of incorporating the Rampressor into their recuperated engine designs. It is shown that the increase in compressor efficiency and the shift in optimum pressure will increase the efficiency of the engine and lower the recuperator inlet temperature and...

According to recent reports, the last loopholes in testing Bell’s inequality are closed. It is argued that the really important task in this field has not been tackled yet and that the leading experiments claiming to close locality and detection efficiency loopholes, although making very significant progress, have conceptual drawbacks. The important task is constructing quantum devices which wi...
