As fuel is expensive and profit must be maximized, it is wise for the maritime industry to invest in fuel saving applications. One of the possibilities is to replace old turbochargers by new fuel saving ones on the already installed engines, recommended by Wärtsilä. Although the potential fuel savings …

The design and mission requirements of aero vehicles, which vary on a day-to-day basis, have become major study concerns in the burgeoning aviation sector. In addition to the design and mission criteria that must be met in an aero vehicle design, the designers' primary goals are to construct original, …

In this study, aviation, energy, exergy, environmental, exergoeconomic, and exergoenvironmental analyses are performed on a CFM56-3 series high by-pass turbofan engine fueled with Jet-A1 fuel. Specific fuel consumption and specific thrust of the engine are found to be 0.01098 kg/kN.s and 0.3178 kN/kg/s, …

A short introduction

The objective of this study is to evaluate the energetic, exergetic, sustainability, economic and environmental performances of a 4-cylinder turbodiesel aviation engine (TdAE) used on unmanned aerial vehicles for the take-off operation mode to assess the system with large aspects. Energy efficiency of …

Most world governments are concerned with waste disposal. The large accumulation of these waste items is causing environmental and monetary issues. According to (Awuchi, 2019), the predicted average daily production of plastic waste is 15.4 billion pieces. Plastic waste is the most prevalent form of …

Energy poverty is a growing concern in the Netherlands due to the rising gas and electricity prices. There are three main contributors to energy poverty: low income, high fuel costs and energy inefficient homes. Energy poverty effects can have significant consequences, influencing both physical and mental …

Abstract The Government of the Netherlands wants to be energy neutral by 2050 (Rijksoverheid, sd). A transition towards non-fossil energy sources also affects transport, which is one of the industries significantly contributing to CO2 emission (Centraal Bureau Statistiek, 2019). Road authorities at municipalities …

This study was born out of concern that current methods for sludge disposal negatively impact the ecosystem. One method to alleviate this is to break down sludge through biological processes. This study aimed to gauge if there is sufficient impetus to develop a sludge disposal system using modified organisms. …
