Altering Flight Schedules for Increased Fuel Efficiency

open access: yes, 2015
Abstract : Air Mobility Command (AMC) has made considerable improvements to reduce fuel consumption over the years, but failed to account for temperature effects in their efficiency equations. The purpose of this research was to analyze the effects of temperature on fuel consumption during different times of the day and months of the year.

Greater fuel efficiency is potentially preferable to reducing NOx emissions for aviation’s climate impacts

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Aviation emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) alter the composition of the atmosphere, perturbing the greenhouse gases ozone and methane, resulting in positive and negative radiative forcing effects, respectively.

Review of the Effects of Fossil Fuels and the Need for a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Policy in Malaysia

open access: yesSustainability, 2023
The world has relied on fossil fuel energy for a long time, producing many adverse effects. Long-term fossil fuel dependency has increased carbon emissions and accelerated climate change. In addition, fossil fuels are also depleting and will soon be very

Heat pipes to increase the efficiency of fuel cells [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies, 2009
The goal of this work is to suggest, design and develop new heat pipe heat exchangers to increase the efficiency of fuel cells (FCs). At least two types of heat pipe coolers are considered. The first one is a heat pipe spreader used to equalize the temperature field inside the FC stack.

Ketones can become the major fuel source for the heart but do not increase cardiac efficiency.

open access: yesCardiovascular Research, 2020
AIMS Ketones have been proposed to be a "thrifty" fuel for the heart and increasing cardiac ketone oxidation can be cardioprotective. However, it is unclear how much ketone oxidation can contribute to energy production in the heart, nor whether ...

Dual-fuel Cycles to Increase the Efficiency of WtE Installations

open access: yesChemical Engineering Transactions, 2012
The overall efficiency of municipal waste incineration plants is significant lower (typically 20-24 %) compared to fossil fuel power plants (typically 40-60 %). It is however possible to increase the efficiency of the MSW incinerator by integration with other power plants.

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells: Increasing Efficiency with Conventional Fuels [PDF]

open access: yesThe Electrochemical Society Interface, 2009
Sir William Grove has been credited with inventing the fuel cell in 1839. That fuel cell, as with the majority of fuel cells developed since then, focused on the use of hydrogen as a fuel. As such, fuel cell technology has become synonymous with hydrogen technology in the public perception. As a result of this perception, the funding and advancement of
