Energy shortage is exacerbated by energy wastage and low efficiency, so energy efficiency has become a popular research topic. However, in most studies, the inputs and outputs of energy efficiency are selected through qualitative analysis and literature review, the rationality is not convincing....

This paper describes the effect of the coal-to-liquids (CTL) industry on economic output and employment in four Chinese regions. The operation of CTL projects require large amount of expense and thus can largely boost regional economy growth by expanding local output demands. However, such...

In the present paper, a numerical study is presented to investigate the cascade utilization of waste heat in sinter cooling bed. With the aid of CFD (computational fluid dynamics), a two-dimensional unsteady mathematical model, which would significantly reduce the computational time, is...

Lignocellulosic biomass, microalgae and sewage sludge have distinct compositions and structures to each other. To understand the effect of feedstock differences on biomass liquefaction process, the liquefaction characteristics of rice straw (lignocellulosic biomass), Spirulina (microalgae) and...
