Rapid hydrogasification of a Japanese Taiheiyo coal was performed in a specially developed laboratory scale batch type reactor under conditions similar to an industrial gasifier to obtain fundamental data and a comprehensive understanding of the process. The experiments were carried out at...

Extended-exergy analysis (EEA) for Chinese society was carried out in this paper to present a benchmarking case for future comparative studies in social systems ecology based on exergetic biophysics. For the EEA as an extension of labor theory of value and a possible sustainability metric,...

It has been widely considered that the global warming, induced by the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, is an environmental task affecting the world economic development. In order to mitigate the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, the...

The resource exergy conversion in Chinese society in 1993 under the material product system (MPS) was investigated. Major resources that entered the society were divided into subgroups and analyzed in detail. The end use was broken down into ten end-use sectors: the forestry industry, food...

A numerical modeling system has been developed, based on an engineering background, of the direct disposal of liquid carbon dioxide into the ocean by a moving-ship, to predict the physico–chemical dynamics of liquid carbon dioxide droplets and carbon dioxide enriched seawater in the ocean....
