Nitrous oxide emission from the littoral zones of the Miyun Reservoir near Beijing, China

Large dams may be substantial contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Nitrous oxide (N2O) is the third most important greenhouse gas but studies on N2O emission from reservoirs are limited. We measured N2O emissions and environmental factors including atmospheric pressure, wind speed, air and soil/sediment temperature, biomass, soil water content and organic matter, total ...

Knock limit prediction via multi-zone modelling of a primary reference fuel HCCI engine

A multi-zone model was used to predict the combustion behaviour of a single cylinder Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine. Blow-by was considered to capture engine performance at the low operating speed of 700 rpm. The model was calibrated and verified by matching predicted and experimental pressure traces at two engine operating points. The calculated CO and Unburned Hydrocarbon ...

Put energy into emission control projects

Many companies feel pressured to spend the least amount possible to meet environmental regulations, primarily because compliance isn’t a profit generating endeavor. What some environmental and compliance managers fail to realize is that emission control equipment can quickly become a profit decreasing endeavor with this penny wise-pound foolish approach. With mandatory greenhouse gas (GHG) ...

Compost as a landfill cover material for the elimination of methane emissions

Landfills, with about 40 - 60 Mio t emitted CH4 each year, are considered to be an important global source of the greenhouse gas methane. These emissions are especially caused by inadequate gas collection systems and uncontrolled emissions from old dumps and unauthorised open dumping. With traditional gas collection systems only 40 to 60 % of the produced gas can be collected and reused or safely ...

Analysis of the impacts of an environmental traffic management system on vehicle emissions and air quality

Environmental traffic management systems (ETMS) are implemented to improve air quality in urban streets. They allow for a situation-related control of light signal systems to optimise road capacities and enhance traffic flow in street sections. Therefore, they are equipped with mitigation strategies and continuously provided with traffic and air quality data. In this context, it is ...

Methodology for risk assessment of flash flood events due to climate and land-use changes: application to the Llobregat basin

Global change, including climate, land-use and socio-economic changes, is expected to increase the stress on the entire water cycle. In the Mediterranean region, extreme events are likely to increase due to climate change. This work, framed in the EC Seventh Framework Programme project IMPRINTS, presents a methodology to obtain future flood risk maps using climate and land-use scenarios, ...
