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 ...
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 ...
Feasibility of Using More Geothermal Energy to Generate Electricity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Human population is everincreasing and, thus, demand for energy is escalating. Consequently, seeking clean methods of producing electricity is a most crucial endeavor at this time. The shrinking reserves of oil have added ...
Recommendations for Energy–Water–Food Nexus Problems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Around the world, climate change has brought about seemingly more incidences of climate extremes. SubSaharan Africa is a prime example of a region with many countries suffering from water scarcity. Water scarcity is quite ...
