Engineering Solutions to the Greenhouse Gases Generated by Hydroelectric Plants
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There is a controversy brewing for about 10 years that hydroelectric power plants are not a clean, renewable source of electricity. The current review indicates that the source of methane is not in the mechanics or mechanical ...
Need for Engineering Solutions to Problems Associated With Offshore Oil and Gas Production
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There has been an increase in oil spill research and development, especially after the Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico. However, the public resources seem to be concentrated in the life sciences, rather ...
Recommendations for Energy Water Nexus Problems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The chronic water problems in parts of India are probably due mainly to mismanagement. The rolling blackout and brownout problems in the larger Indian cities are due to lack of generation capacity. Since about ninety percent ...
Research and Development of Drones for Peace—High Power High Energy Supply Required
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Drones are useful in climate science, space research, energy and environmental research, surveillance to protect sensitive areas. Drones, including land autonomous vehicles (AV), are being recognized as being very useful ...
Linking Energy Levels in the Circadian Core Body Temperature Cycle to Human Health and Well Being
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The body core temperature is a measure of the health and wellbeing of a person. This temperature seldom varies from the average of 37 آ°C (98.6 آ°F) and has been used to gage a person’s wellness at any time. The ...
Energy is Key to Shape of Commercial Flights in the Future
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Compared to military flight, speed, maneuverability, and stealth are not of foremost importance in consideration for commercial flights planned for the future. Increased laminar flow over the wings, a power source that is ...
Temperature of Food and Drink Intake Matters
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The U.S. Government determines the guidelines for daily diet of humans in their various life stages. The current guidelines for caloric intake are about 2800 cal daily for the adult male, and about 600 cal less for the ...
Anthropogenic Heat Generation and Heat Exhaust to the Ultimate Sink
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Anthropogenic heat generation in the world has been shown to be non-negligible, as it was a previous misconception. The scientific contribution of the current work is to urge scientists and engineers to develop technologies ...
