Liquid hydrogen is gaining increasing attention owing to its high energy density as 10.1 MJ/L compared to gaseous hydrogen as 5.6 MJ/L at 700 bar. However, the energy required for its cryogenic processes is significant. To reduce this energy demand,…
Dual fuel engines are attracting more and more attentions due to their low emissions and high efficiency compared with traditional single fuel engines. However, complex parameters coupling remains challengeable issues in dual fuel engine…
For the sake of alleviating the pressure of energy and environment, compressed natural gas vehicle has become an important development direction of the automobile industry in the world with its advantages of low cost and restraining greenhouse…
Precise computation of thermodynamic properties of natural gas requires applying an accurate Equation of State (EOS) along with component analysis of natural gas. This procedure is a time consuming process which demands expensive apparatuses. In this…
In this study, a novel cold energy utilization configuration of liquefied natural gas is presented for liquefied-compressed natural gas filling station by combining gasoline vapor recovery, power generation and blood freeze-drying. Aspen Plus…
The marine access refineries which supply nearly 15% of the global energy requirement constantly encounter uncertainty such as unit unavailability. This uncertainty often arises due to various factors such as pump failure or leakage in tanks. Crude…
The mid-term electrical energy consumption forecasting for crude oil pipelines is helpful for making important decisions, such as energy consumption target setting, unit commitment, batch scheduling, and equipment monitoring with degraded…
This paper develops a novel indicator of global economic activity, the GEA Tracker, which is based on commodity prices selected recursively through a genetic algorithm. The GEA Tracker allows for daily real-time knowledge of international business…
