The purpose of this study is to investigate Accounting Truthfulness, here we use two terms Manipulators and Non Manipulators, the firms which manipulate their accounting information to attract their stakeholders are called manipulators. Therefore, our study regards the manipulation of earnings...

A design of an ITM (ion transport membranes) reactor is introduced in a two-pass fire tube boiler furnace to produce steam for power generation toward the ZEPP (zero emission power plant) applications. Oxygen separation, combustion and heat exchange occur in the first pass containing the...

An atmospheric diffusion oxy-combustion flame in a gas turbine model combustor has been investigated experimentally and numerically. Oxy-combustion and emission characterization, flame stabilization and oxy-combustion model validation analyses are the main goals of the present research work. The...

Integrating solar thermal technologies with gas turbine cogeneration plants reduces fuel consumption and consequently results in a considerable reduction in gas emissions. These technologies are expected to play an important role in solving the global environmental and energy problems. The...

Oxy-fuel combustion technology is an attractive option for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) in power generation systems utilizing hydrocarbon fuels. However, conventional atmospheric oxy-fuel combustion systems require substantial parasitic energy in the compression step within the air separation...

Multi-generation facilities are almost always part of a local production scenario, i.e., a local area (district, city, regional, national, interstate) energy system providing end users with electricity, residential heating or air-conditioning, industrial process steam, desalinated water, and/or...

The interest in hybrid power production facilities, based on the integration of renewable resources and conventional fossil fuels, is rapidly rising. The question of what fraction of the electricity produced in such facilities is to be considered as produced from the renewable resources is still...

Growing concerns over greenhouse gas emissions have driven extensive research into new power generation cycles that enable carbon dioxide capture and sequestration. In this regard, oxy-fuel combustion is a promising new technology in which fuels are burned in an environment of oxygen and...
