To meet utility demands some industrial units use onsite utility system. Traditionally, the management of such type of industrial units is carried out in three sequential steps: scheduling of the manufacturing unit by minimizing inventory, estimating the utility needs of manufacturing unit and...

By following a computer-aided simulation procedure, this research analyzes the traction energy cost and transport operation time per 10,000 passenger-kilometers of two representative types of metro trains in China under various top speeds between different stations along a hypothetically...

Energy study was conducted in an organic fertilizer production plant in Nigeria, to determine the energy consumption patterns and the associated costs for the production of both powdered and pelletised fertilizer. Analysis was conducted for a daily production of 9000kg of the finished products....

The paper presents results of techno-economic analysis of using wood residues from wood industry for CHP (combined heat and power). The aim was to determine the economic feasibility of CHP in Serbia in the light of newly adopted feed in tariffs. In the first part, costs of electricity production...

This study investigated the long run relationship between urbanization, energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission in seven regions, namely, East Asia and Pacific, East Europe and Central Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, Middle East and North Africa, South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and...

Energy utilization and carbon dioxide emission during the production of fresh, peeled, diced, and juiced tomatoes are calculated. The energy utilization for production of raw and packaging materials, transportation, and waste management are also considered. The energy utilization to produce...

This paper investigates the impact of food production processes on the environment in terms of energy and exergy utilization and carbon dioxide emission. There are three different energy utilization mechanisms in food production: Utilization of solar energy by plants to produce agricultural...

Energy and exergy utilization and carbon dioxide emission during production of soybean, sunflower, and olive oils are assessed. In all cases, agriculture is the most energy and exergy intensive process and emits most of the carbon dioxide, and diesel is the dominant energy and exergy source. The...
