Hydrogen production by biogas steam reforming: A technical, economic and ecological analysis
(2013-08-28)
Fuel cells are electrochemical energy conversion devices that convert fuel and oxidant electrochemically into electrical energy, water and heat. Compared to traditional electricity generation technologies that use combustion ...
Investigation of causal processes in the ecological approach to perception
(Univ Federal Paraiba, 2022-01-01)
According to assumptions of the Gibsonian Ecological Philosophy (GIBSON, 1976), organisms directly capture information from the environment to carry out their actions. Such information corresponds to affordances, which are ...
A reference business process for ecological niche modelling
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2008)
Ecological niche modelling combines species occurrence points with environmental raster layers in order to obtain models for describing the probabilistic distribution of species. The process to generate an ecological niche ...
Optimization of an irreversible Otto and Diesel cycles based on ecological function
(2018-01-01)
In this work, a mathematical model is presented for the irreversible Otto and Diesel cycles using finite time thermodynamics. The cycle is analyzed between two reservoirs with infinite thermal capacitances, where the ...
Ecological efficiency in glycerol combustion
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-02-05)
Growth in biodiesel production has led to a large surplus of glycerol. So the fundamental question arises: What can be done with glycerol? This is one of the main reasons current research is aimed at developing technologies ...
Reconstructing past ecological networks: the reconfiguration of seed-dispersal interactions after megafaunal extinction
(Springer, 2014-08-01)
The late Quaternary megafaunal extinction impacted ecological communities worldwide, and affected key ecological processes such as seed dispersal. The traits of several species of large-seeded plants are thought to have ...
Long-term ecological research in the forests of the United States: Key lessons for its application in Chile and around the world
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2010)
Ecological optimization of an irreversible Brayton cycle with regeneration, inter-cooling and reheating
(2015)
A mathematical model is developed for an irreversible Brayton cycle with regeneration, inter-cooling and reheating. The irreversibility are from the thermal resistance in the heat exchangers, the pressure drops in pipes, ...
Net power optimization of an irreversible Otto cycle using ECOP and ecological function
(2015)
This paper presents an analysis of an irreversible Otto cycle aiming to optimize the net power through ECOP and ecological function. The studied cycle operates between two thermal reservoirs of infinite thermal capacity, ...
