What drives energy intensity change has been a hot topic in energy economics. This paper presents a comprehensive framework combining index decomposition analysis (IDA) and production-theoretical decomposition analysis (PDA) for investigating the mechanisms of change of energy intensity. The...

We estimated the reduction potential of carbon dioxide emissions in the Chinese textile industry by forecasting the carbon intensity (CO2 emissions/industrial value added) in different scenarios. The Johansen co-integration technique was employed in order to establish the long term equilibrium...

The K2CO3-based sorbent is promising for CO2 capture from the flue gas of fossil-fuel-fired power plant. In this work, various support/binder materials were utilized to prepare K2CO3-based sorbent pellets by an extrusion method, and their mechanical strength and CO2 capture performance were...

An experimental research was conducted to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of steam condensation on horizontal twisted elliptical tubes (TETs) with different structural parameters. Experiments were carried out at the steam saturation temperature of around 100.5°C with the wall...

Liquid fuel cells operated at room-temperature are promising candidates for the next-generation of power sources for microelectronic devices. Enabling high-concentrated or even neat fuel operation of fuel cells, which is currently limited by adverse fuel crossover through membrane, could...
