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 ...
Land Sail Vehicle to Generate Electricity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The sailing record was broken in the fall of 2012. The aerodynamically designed sail allowed the racing boat to skim the water at speeds higher than the prevailing wind speed. This speed sailing record was the initial ...
Energy–Water–Food Nexus and Recommendations for Security
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The clean, renewable sources of energy are the wind, water, and the sun. Geothermal energy from the Earth is a good source of energy for electricity generation that has not been fully utilized. Sustainable energy sources ...
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 ...
Sustainable Engineering in the Global Energy Sector
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The current age is one in dire need of teaching engineers of all branches about sustainability. The principle is that engineering choices have to be decided in the framework of constraints related to energy and materials ...
Planning and Engineering Strategies to Mitigate Effects of Climate Change
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Extreme weather events seem to have become more frequent with climate change. These anomalies throughout the world may generally be categorized as drought, heavy rain storms, landslides, heavy snow storms, sea level rise, ...
Global Goals and Contributing Disciplines in Higher Education, With a Focus on Sustainable Engineering
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work has been done to recognize the various contributing disciplines in colleges and universities to achieving the global goals. One aim is to point out the many college disciplines internationally that would contribute ...
