Steam flooding is a complex process that has been considered as an effective enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique in both heavy oil and light oil reservoirs. Many studies have been conducted on different sets of steam flooding projects using the conventional data analysis methods while the...

In this paper, we construct a family of nonlinear operators by decoupled FBSDEs and prove that it forms a nonlinear semigroup under a binary operation. Moreover, we obtain the equivalent conditions of the monotonicity and order-preservation of semigroups.

A novel solar hybrid power generation system with near zero CO2 emission (ZE-SOLRGT) has been proposed in the previous work, which is based on a GRAZ-like cycle integrating methane–steam reforming, solar-driven steam generation and CO2 capture. Solar heat assistance increases power output and...

We establish the optimized grey model with logarithm new development coefficient by screening according to the latest statistical data during 2007 in Jiangsu Province. Empirical analysis and prediction research on rural gross social output value in Jiangsu Province from the year 2008 to 2012 are...

A novel cogeneration system is proposed for power generation and seawater desalination. It combines the CRGT (chemically recuperated gas turbine) with the MED-TVC (multi-effect thermal vapor compression desalination) system. The CRGT contains a MSR (methane-steam reformer). The produced syngas...

Based on the principle of cascade utilization of multiple energy resources, a gas-steam combined cycle power system integrated with solar thermo-chemical fuel conversion and CO2 capture has been proposed and analyzed. The collected solar heat at 550 °C drives the endothermic methane reforming...

A novel liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueled power plant is proposed, which has virtually zero CO2 and other emissions and a high efficiency. The plant operates as a subcritical CO2 Rankine-like cycle. Beside the power generation, the system provides refrigeration in the CO2 subcritical...

Cogeneration has improved sustainability as it can improve the energy utilization efficiency significantly. In this paper, a novel ammonia-water cycle is proposed for the cogeneration of power and refrigeration. In order to meet the different concentration requirements in the cycle heat addition...

Development of novel solar–fossil fuel hybrid system is important for the efficient utilization of low temperature solar heat. A solar-assisted methane chemically recuperated gas turbine (SOLRGT) system was proposed by Zhang and co-worker, which integrated solar heat into a high efficiency...

This paper proposes an investor sentiment factor that can capture the process of investors' extrapolation and explores the role of the sentiment factor in the asset pricing. Using U.S. stock market data, we empirically find that the modified three-factor model augmented with sentiment factor can...
