Gasification-based plants with coal-CO[subscript 2] slurry feed are predicted to be more efficient than those with coal-water slurry feed. This is particularly true for high moisture, low rank coal such as lignite. Nevertheless, preparation of the CO[subscript 2] slurry...

<p>Usually consumers have a relationship with a single energy supplier. Increasingly, the option for consumers to retain their current supplier whilst taking on additional contracts with local suppliers is viewed as having the potential to support growth of local renewa...

To investigate the solid raw material characteristics of willow (Salix caprea) bark and woody core, this study analyzed overall chemical composition, monosaccharide composition, ash content, and main ash composition of both tree components. Significant differences were ...

Abstract Non-equilibrium plasma technology provides an unconventional but promising solution for the cleaning of tar contaminated bio-syngas in biomass gasification. This work is focused on the reforming of mixed naphthalene (C10H8) and toluene (C7H8) as typical single ...

Abstract Cnnc Everclean Co., LTD has completed 9 batches, 18 container times of the spent fuel transportation of DaYaBay Nuclear Power Plant in five years during 2005 to 2009. The statistics of external irradiated personal dose data for each transportation is made in th...

In order to solve the problems caused by the susceptibility to changing weather conditions and the complex load conditions of photovoltaic (PV) systems, and the fact a single target inverter control strategy cannot effectively mitigate large voltage fluctuations at poin...

The predominantly rural population in the Volta Basin depends on rainfed crops, a practice which becomes increasingly risky as the rainfall decreases from south to north and rural poverty increases. Yields are low throughout because of drought and dry spells within the ...

Abstract This study focuses on the fabrication and the characterization of solar cells using highly doped boron-phosphorus compensated n-type multicrystalline silicon. Two ingots were used and compared for this study. One ingot was crystallized from a silicon feedstock ...
