this paper estimates the trend of total energy subsidies from year 2003 (that is 16.68% of gdp) and running a model, predicts that energy subsidies will reach to 20% of gdp by 2019 if subsidies continue. also environmental damage costs of energy consumption have been entered the model (environmental cost-benefit analysis model: ecba model) in addition to the vast amounts of subsidies. so damage...

Sustainable development is perceived as a socioeconomic system focused on meeting human needs while making long-term progress, with the end goal of ensuring well-being and improving quality life. The objective this article to analyse sustainable policies assessed by World Energy Trilemma Index (WETI) for 2020, based its three pillars (Energy security, equity Environmental sustainability) politi...

in this research energy efficiency for greenhouse cucumber production in shahreza township located in esfahan province using data envelopment analysis (dea) technique was studied. in this study, data were obtained from 25 randomize active vegetable greenhouses from 60 greenhouses in shahreza township and villages environs. the results showed that the highest and lowest consumed energy were rela...

one of the new methods for electrical powering of the bridge health monitoring systems is applying energy harvesting systems using bridge vibration. in this method, the piezoelectric material is employed for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. the advantage of this method is based on not implementing the battery charging system. in previous research, some studies have been done...

In this article, stress analysis and energy estimation during cold-roll forming of symmetrical channel sections have been discussed. Geometry of sheet strip is pre-estimated by a shape function. Then longitudinal, transversal and shear strains have been calculated. Using both the Levy-Mises and the Prandtl Reuss equations, and also considering the Bauschinger effect, stress distributions have b...

The exergetic analysis is a tool that has been used successfully in many studies aiming a more rational energy consumption to reduce the cost of processes. With this analysis, it is possible to perform an evaluation of the overall process, locating and quantifying the degradation of exergy. This paper applies exergy approach for analyzing the heat exchanger network design and refrigeration of M...
