Abstract Mobilization and population growth caused waste generation energy supply increments. It requires more efficient management treatment methods. On the other side, availability of fossil fuel resources decreased, it urges alternative sources to take place. One waste-to-energy implementations is using domestic into briquettes as refuse-derived (RDF) for gasification solutions overcome this...

in this paper, the amount of wasted heat from different parts of a 12 liter compression ignition engine and their potential for waste heat recovery were investigated. then, two-stage configuration of organic rankine cycle was introduced for simultaneous heat recovery from exhaust gases and coolant. finally, parameters like hybrid generated power, engine thermal efficiency and brake specific fue...

the safe and effective management of radioactive waste has been given utmost importance from the very inception of nuclear industry in india and it covers the entire range of activities from handling, treatment, conditioning, transport, storage and finally disposal. radioactive waste is generated at various stages of the nuclear fuel cycle, which includes the mining and milling of uranium ore, ...

Biodiesel is a fatty acid alkyl ester which is renewable, biodegradable and non-toxic fuel which can be derived from any vegetable oil and animal fats. Vegetable oils and animal fats in their raw form have high viscosity that makes them unsuitable as fuels for diesel engines. Transesterification is one of the well-known process by which fats and oils are converted into biodiesel. The reaction o...

The fast food supply chain is facing increasing operating costs due to volatile food and energy prices. Based on a case study of a major fast food logistics operator, this paper quantifies the potential for fuel generation from the waste generated by quick-service restaurants in Britain. Several fuel pathways and supply chains were mapped to understand the carbon intensity of the various waste-...

It is generally recognized that the spent fuel discharged from nuclear power plants constitutes the main contribution to nuclear waste. The management of spent fuel from nuclear power plants differs depending on the perspectives and scenarios posed by the countries directly concerned. However, there is a general consensus on the need for a deep geological repository and a reduction in the burde...
