The debate over the availability of conventional natural gas has been nearly as strong as that for conventional oil. In … availability of natural gas in the region. This is done by estimating a cumulative availability curve showing natural gas endowment … versus production costs. The findings indicate that natural gas in Europe is more available and economic than often assumed …

-law efficiency, due to fundamental differences in the mechanism of entropy generation during combustion with respect to the usual … gas combusting in a diesel engine cylinder. The terms of the availability balance during engine operation are studied as a …

We develop a theoretical model of long-run investment decisions on capacity in the context of a liberalized electricity … the level of capacity that maximizes social welfare, and compare it to a decentralized outcome. We show that in the … absence of any regulation, private investment decisions on capacity unambiguously lead to a socially sub-optimal outcome, and …

The present study examined unit roots, causality, cointegration, and efficiency of the natural gas market using the … Northwest US natural gas markets as a case study. The results indicate that the natural gas market prices are stationary after … the first differencing, and that spot and futures natural gas prices move in a similar direction. Spot prices tend to …

This paper investigates the potential applications for heat-pipe based heat exchangers in enhancing the efficiency of …

availabilities are reflected in an increase in second law efficiency with increasing load. The dual fuel cumulative work availability … syngas increases the cumulative work availability and reduces the destroyed availability. This enhancement is due to a better …-cylinder combustion temperatures are reduced in case of the dual fuel combustion. Hence, the destruction availability is increased due to …

Availability analysis is applied to cylinder of a spark ignition engine during the combustion process under surrogate … also highlighted. During the combustion process, the availability destroyed by combustion is about 18.9%, and the … availability destroyed by the heat transfer is about 12.0%. The survey also reveals that during the whole combustion process …
