Quantitative Comparison of Life Cycle Assessments of Advanced Recycling Technologies for End-of-Life Plastics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There is growing urgency to both increase plastic recycling rates and reduce the impact of plastic waste on the environment. Mechanical recycling rates for plastics in the United States have only slightly increased from ...
Analysis of the Bifurcating Duct of an Inlet Particle Separator in Transonic Flow Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To increase the reliability of turboprop and turboshaft engines in extreme operating conditions, filtering protections such as inlet particle separators (IPSs) can be installed at the intake. The flow inside an IPS is ...
The Case for Waste to Energy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There is a better way of handling MSW that is not or cannot be recycled: thermal conversion, also called waste to energy. These facilities feed waste into a combustion chamber with air and incinerate it. The heat released ...
Sulfur Transformation and Metals Recovery During Co-Gasification of Municipal Solid Waste and Gypsum
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The fate of sulfur and conversion of metals during the co-gasification of municipal solid waste (MSW) and gypsum is examined here using aspen plus combined with Thermo-Calc for the process model development. The effect of ...
