Nowadays biodiesel is receiving more attention as a most important renewable energy for using in diesel engines. Inthis research, the application of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was highlighted to investigate the effects of biodiesel-diesel blends (B0, B20, B50 and B100), engine operating parameters (engine load and  speed) on CO2 emission of a diesel engine. The experiments were conducte...

Experiments were carried out to test the hypothesis that ventilatory and cardiovascular responses to hypercarbia (elevated water P(CO2)) in the tambaqui Colossoma macropomum are stimulated by externally oriented receptors that are sensitive to water CO(2) tension as opposed to water pH. Cardiorespiratory responses to acute hypercarbia were evaluated in both the absence and presence of internal ...

Geological carbon sequestration involves large-scale injection of carbon dioxide into underground geologic formations and is considered as a potential approach for mitigating global warming. Changes in reservoir properties resulting from the CO2 injection and migration can be characterized using waveform inversions of time-lapse seismic data. The conventional approach for analysis using wavefor...

Significant stress changes caused by sorption-induced swelling raise the coal wellbore failure potential, which directly impacts safety and sustainability of CO2 enhanced coalbed methane (CO2-ECBM). Additionally, a mixture gas (CO2/N2) injection is recommended due to sharp decline permeability with pure injection. In this study, incorporating adsorption poroelastic effects, semi-analytical mode...

[1] We present ocean chemistry calculations based on ocean general circulation model simulations of atmospheric CO2 emission, stabilization of atmospheric CO2 content, and stabilization of atmospheric CO2 achieved in total or in part by injection of CO2 to the deep ocean interior. Our goal is to provide first-order results from various CO2 pathways, allowing correspondence with studies of marin...

We investigate the possibility that brine could be displaced upward into potable water through wells. Because of the large volumes of CO2 to be injected, the influence of the zone of elevated pressure on potential conduits such as well boreholes could extend many kilometers from the injection site—farther than the CO2 plume itself. The traditional approach to address potential brine leakage rel...

Continuous isotope labeling and tracing is often needed to study the transformation, movement, and allocation of carbon in plant-soil systems. However, existing labeling methods have numerous limitations. The present study introduces a new continuous labeling method using naturally 13C-depleted CO2. We theoretically proved that a stable level of C-CO2 abundance in a labeling chamber can be main...

Abstract Gypsum crystals are found at the well perforation of observation Ktzi 202 test site for CO 2 storage Ketzin, Germany. XRD analysis confirms pure gypsum. Fluid samples before and after injection analyzed. Geochemical modeling is conducted to identify mechanisms that lead gypsum formation. The carried out with PHREEQC Pitzer database due high salinity up 5 mol per kg water. Due their sig...
