Abstract: In today’s Era energy planners are aiming to increase the use of Oil, Gas, Nuclear and also Renewable Energy sources to meet the electricity demand in India. But till now coal-based thermal power plants are the major source of electricity generation and they will continue to dominate in the next few decades too. One of the major disadvantages of coal-based thermal power plants is the ...

the potential energy hyper surfaces (fes) of the unimolecular rearrangements of a) nitromethane itei totrans acknitromethane b) nitrometharie (/) to methyl nitrite (3) and c) naromethane decomposition tomethyl and nitrogen dioxide were searched using the ab !nth° mp2 method. split valence 6-310(d.p) basisset was used for geometry optimizations, frequency and 1rc computations along each reaction...

Thermal decomposition of two coal samples obtained from Top Seam Sibi (TSS) and Sore Range Quetta (SRQ) coal fields in their raw and acid washed forms were carried out in an open type tubular pyrolyzer coupled to a gas chromatograph with FID. Elemental analyses were carried out with Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-rays (SEM-EDX) analyzer. Effect of inherent mineral contents...

The bulk of the cement industry's environmental burden is from calcareous source. Calcium mostly available naturally as limestone (CaCO3), where almost half mass eventually released CO2 during clinker manufacture. Iron (Fe) fourth most common element in Earth's crust surpassed only by oxygen, silicon, and aluminium; therefore, potential raw materials for alternative cements can contain signific...

Abstract Archaeologists have long considered climate change a primary mechanism behind human behavioral adaptations. The Lesotho highlands’ Afromontane and climatically extreme environments offer unique opportunity to examine proposed correlations between topography, climate, behavior. Previous studies suggest that warmer temperatures allowed humans expand their diet breadth foraging range, whe...
