Hybrid vehicle techniques are widely studied recently because of their potential to significantly improve the fuel economy and drivability of future ground vehicles. Due to the dual-power-source nature of these vehicles, control strategies based on engineering intuition frequently fail to fully explore the potential of these advanced vehicles. In this paper, we will present a procedure for the ...

The carbon footprint is a measure of the amount of greenhouse gas emissions caused by an activity or over the life stages of a product. Logistical service providers have various reasons to attempt to gain insight in the carbon footprint of their transport services. Clients may ask for a report on the emissions caused by a transport order and forthcoming legislation may demand carbon management ...

Biodiesel will play an increasing role in fulfilling the world’s energy requirement. The world has experienced negative effect from the fossil fuel such as global warming and acid rain etc. With the increase in consumption of biodiesel, its impact on environment has raised a discussion around the world. Energy requirement of the world will increase in coming future and is projected to increase ...

the optimization model for evaluating regional and global effects of greenhouse gases reductionpolicies named merge is an actively usable tool for studying some aspects of the problem of climate change.it is first of all destined for the quantitative estimation of emission trajectories and results of applyingabatement measures. in the paper, the emphasis is on the adaptation of the integrated a...

conventional compression ignition (ci) engines are known for their high thermal efficiency compared to spark ignited (si) engines. gasoline because of its higher ignition delay has much lower soot emission in comparison with diesel fuel. using double injection strategy reduces the maximum heat release rate that leads to nox emission reduction. in this paper, a numerical study of a gasoline fuel...

It is clear that city must be part of the solution if an urbanizing world is to grapple successfully with ecological challenges such as energy depletion and climate change. A system dynamics model was developed in this study using STELLA platform to model the energy consumption and CO2 emission trends for the City of Beijing over 2005–2030. Results show that the total energy demand in Beijing i...

The main purpose of this research is to determine the generation quantity of each generator in a power system. In this way, not only will the electricity demanded by the system be supplied, but the cost of fuel along with the level of pollution can be minimized. Obviously, calculation of the optimal layout of power plants with the aim of minimizing fuel costs and pollutants level contributes to...
