In this paper, based on the mathematical models of microalgae growth, the performance of microalgae growth in nitrogen-limited and light-limited continuous culture is investigated and the effect of important factors on the growth is examined. The dilution rate and the influent inorganic nitrogen...

Using the IMAGE/TIMER (The Targets IMage Energy Regional) long-term integrated assessment model, this paper explores the regional and global potential of offshore wind to contribute to global electricity production. We develop long-term cost supply curve for offshore wind, a representation of...

A possible pathway for renewable and sustainable methane production from captured carbon dioxide, water (or seawater) and renewable electricity is proposed and analysed. The proposed system includes Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cell combined with ex-situ methane synthesis reactor comprising...

The simulation of existing crude oil distillation processes is distinctive and difficult owing to its complex nature and interactions, including variable feedstocks, highly integrated processes, tight cuts specifications, and environmental limitations. This study introduces a systematic...

Fossil fuels still constitute an important source of energy in the world, but they need to comply with more strict environmental requirements. The coal industry, the basic primary energy supplier to the Polish economy, not only faces new environmental regulations but also restructuring and...

The operation and performance of a SOFC (solid oxide fuel cell) stack on biomass syn-gas from a biomass gasification CHP (combined heat and power) plant is investigated. The objective of this work is to develop a model of a biomass-SOFC system capable of predicting performance under diverse...

Fuel cells are still undergoing intense development, and the combination of new and optimized materials, improved product development, novel architectures, more efficient transport processes, and design optimization and integration are expected to lead to major gains in performance, efficiency,...
