How to choose an energy-efficient, environmentally friendly and economically affordable municipal solid waste (MSW) management system has been a major challenge to be taken up by decision makers. Although life cycle assessment (LCA) has been widely used for the evaluation of energy consumption...

Recovery of sulfuric acid from industrial wastewater by electrodialysis (ED) has become a hot topic recently. In practical, the traditional anion exchange membranes (AEM) generally lead to the severe proton leakage during ED process. As a result, the efficiency of the acid concentration was...

Though China is well along in restructuring its power markets, it still has some way to travel before economic considerations receive adequate weight in transmission planning decisions. Adoption of more sophisticated tools such as multi-agent modeling will help China continue in its progress in...

The working principles and the basic features of a multi-functional domestic heat-pump (MDHP) system are introduced in this paper. Comparatively, the system can provide much better energy performance and higher equipment utilization throughout a year, causes less thermal pollution than the...

In accordance with the energy planning in China, within the “Twelfth Five-Year” period (2011–2015), the proportion of natural gas among primary energy consumption is expected to increase from the current 4% to 8%. In 2015, about 17 natural gas pipelines will be completed. This paper...

Environmental protection and climate change have become one of the most important issues of great concern. Consequently, improving energy efficiency and developing renewable energy have also become the fundamental energy policies of all countries around the world. China has put forward the...

On the basis of analyzing existing course system of urban planning discipline, this paper came up with a framework for optimization of urban planning personnel training mode and course system, oriented towards training practical engineering personnel and based on CDIO engineering education and...
