Evaluation of Alternative Fuels for Coastal Ferries

Development and Evaluation of Alternative Aviation Fuels

There continues to be significant interest in the development, certification, and use of alternative (non-petroleum) aviation fuels. The motivation for this is driven by many factors, including the growing demand and reduced supply of petroleum-derived fuels, cost volatility, and desire for a reliable domestic fuel supply. In addition, the production of alternative fuels from renewable/biologic...

Sound science: ferries keep watch on coastal waters.

sound, a broad body of water touching land, sea, and freshwater environments , is part of the extensive Albemarle–Pamlico estuary system, where rivers from Virginia and North Carolina flow to the Atlantic Ocean. It is the second largest estuary in the United States, smaller only than the nearby Chesapeake Bay system. " The Pamlico Sound is the single most important fisheries nursery for the U.S...

Alternative Fuels In Aviation

During the last years, the aviation sector has been looking into alternatives to kerosene from crude oil, to combat climate change by reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to ensure security of supply at affordable prices. The efforts are also a reaction to commitments and policy packages. Currently, a wide range of possible fuel candidates and fuel blends are discussed in the triple ...

BIODIESEL: Cultivating Alternative Fuels

Comparative Energy and Exergy Analysis for the Utilization of Alternative Fuels in the Cement Kiln

The cement industry is one of the most energy and carbon-intensive industries. The energy and carbon reduction is an important issue in this industry. The present work considers the use of alternative fuels in the cement kilns. The amounts of excess air, the location of fuel and air entrance, as well as the amount of produced gas stacks, are the main design and operational variables in the kiln...
