This article presented an indoor experiment on developing a mathematical model for predicting the productivity of an … ethanol solar still of basin type. The test still contained a horizontal evaporating surface and a condensing surface inclined … 14° to a horizontal. Various concentrations of ethanol–water solution were employed for this experiment. The distillation …

The model is calibrated to represent a recent benchmark data set for 2009 andis used to simulate the positive and …We employ an open economy general equilibrium model to investigate the effects of governmentenergy policy, with an … emphasis on corn-based ethanol, on the U.S. economy.

Rapid growth in fuel ethanol production in the U.S. will create pressure on infrastructure both in the near term and … the longer term. Currently the vast majority of fuel ethanol produced is grain based with corn based feedstocks dwarfing … the quantity of all other grain feedstocks. In the future it is expected that biomass based ethanol production will also …

We analyze the relationship between the prices of ethanol, agricultural commodities and livestock in Nebraska, the U ….S. second largest ethanol producer. The paper focuses on long-run relations and Granger causality linkages between ethanol and …-of-sample predictive ability.

We focus on predictability in … distribution by asking whether ethanol returns can be used to forecast different parts of field crops returns distribution, or vice … to the analyst. Results show that both the centre and the left tail of the ethanol returns distribution can be predicted …

This paper investigates the direct and indirect impacts of ethanol production on land use, deforestation and food … production. A partial equilibrium model of a national economy with two sectors and two regions, one of which includes a residual … forest, is developed.

The production of ethanol has increased in United States and Brazil in recent years, because of incentives to reduce … gas consumption. In Brazil, there is a big program to use ethanol both as a single fuel or an additive to gas. In US, the … incentive is to use ethanol combined to gas in proportion that can reach to 85 percent of the mix. This situation has prompted …
