BACKGROUND Microalgae are touted as an attractive alternative to traditional forms of biomass for biofuel production, due to high productivity, ability to be cultivated on marginal lands, and potential to utilize carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial flue gas. This work examines the fossil energy return on investment (EROIfossil), greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and direct Water Demands (WD) of ...

generally, a typical problem which is crucial in a manufacturing system is increasing the production rate.  to cope with the problem, different types of techniques are used in companies by trial and error which imposes high costs on them. using simulation as a tool for assessing the effect of alterations on the performance of the overall system might be significant. this paper considers a simul...

climate change phenomenon is an important environmental challenge of the world. increasing extension of greenhouse gases and remote relationship phenomena accelerate the speed f climate change. changes in precipitation level, drought occurrence and changes in the level of surface and groundwater resources are the recognized consequences of climate change. in order to study consequences of clima...
