Human activities are increasing the concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide ([CO2]) and tropospheric ozone ([O3]), potentially leading to changes in the quantity and chemical quality of leaf litter inputs to forest soils. Because the quality and quantity of labile and recalcitrant carbon (C) compounds influence forest productivity through changes in soil organic matter content, characteriz...

Trans-critical CO2 vapor compression (VC) refrigeration cycles require a high ratio, which is associated with expansion losses. To recover these losses, pressure exchange process between the low- and high-pressure sides of VC cycle proposed examined in this study. The system an open type constant volume where high- low-pressure flows mix inside system. This prototype inspired by exchangers used...

[1] In any data assimilation framework, the background error covariance statistics play the critical role of filtering the observed information and determining the quality of the analysis. For atmospheric CO2 data assimilation, however, the background errors cannot be prescribed via traditional forecast or ensemble-based techniques as these fail to account for the uncertainties in the carbon em...

Freshwaters are important sources of the greenhouse gases methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere. Knowledge about temporal variability in these fluxes is very limited, yet critical for proper study design and evaluating flux data. Further, to understand the reasons for the variability and allow predictive modeling, the temporal variability has to be related to relevant environ...

Abstract Carbon-dioxide-based trans-critical power cycle is a novel technology for waste heat recovery. This can handle the high-temperature exhaust gas and be built in compact size, which an important feature auxiliary equipment internal combustion engine. To obtain best output, four configurations were constructed: basic system; one with preheater, another regenerator fourth preheater regener...

Aqueous solution of amine is a mature technology to selectively absorb CO2 from an industrial exhaust. Monoethanolamine (MEA) still considered as the reference and unfortunately, energy necessary desorb recycle solvent limiting its use at scale. The main cost process needed heat over 100 °C CO2. Several options decrease this expense have been including phase separation reduce volumes be treated...
