The need arises for sea transport when one country has a shortage of something‚ such as iron-ore‚ grain or coal‚ and another country has a surplus. These three types of commodities make up the dry-bulk industry. As such‚ when analysing the demand level of sea transport‚ we realize the overall level of demand for sea transport activity has

CHAPTER 01 INTRODUCTION 1.1 FLY ASH India produces about 70 million tons of coal ash per year from burning about 200 million tons of coal per year for electric power generation. Coal-ash management posses a serious environmental problem for India and requires a mission-mode approach. Considerable research and development work have been undertaken across the country towards confidence building and developing suitable technologies for disposal and utilization of fly ash construction

Part One - Introduction Fossil Fuels are the most important energy sources in our world today. The overwhelming majority of the huge amount of energy used in the world comes from the burning of three major fossil fuels: coal‚ petroleum‚ and natural gas. Fossil fuels are a non-renewable source of energy‚ and there is no other . They are formed over a very long period of time; the fossil fuels on earth today were formed from plants and animals that lived up to 300 million years ago. These fossil

Pakistan is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of natural resources but also one of the poorest among them in their management. The country is abundant in the vital resources including that of energy‚ agriculture‚ minerals‚ population‚ and geography‚ but unlike the developed countries‚ these have not been properly exploited due to poor management. This dismayed situation is caused due to several‚ both chronic and acute‚ flaws which have led to poor governance of country since its

To what extent does Methane effect climate change and what are the uses and limitations of science in addressing this issue? Methane is influenced by various natural and anthropogenic factors such as landfills‚ farms‚ drilling for natural gas‚ and coal mining. All of these factors that generate Methane emissions create ground level o-zone which is not only hazardous for our health‚ but it is a great concern for our climate. EPA is one of several organizations that plays a significant role in encouraging

Introductory overviewAlmost all coal‚ nuclear‚ geothermal‚ solar thermal electric‚ and waste incineration plants‚ as well as many natural gas power plants are thermal. Natural gas is frequently combusted in gas turbines as well as boilers. The waste heat from a gas turbine can be used to raise steam‚ in a combined cycle plant that improves overall efficiency. Power plants burning coal‚ oil‚ or natural gas are often referred to collectively as fossil-fuel power plants. Some biomass-fueled thermal

Reviewing the use of fossil fuel in history‚ people used to use coal as a main source energy. After the second half of the industrial revolution‚ people switched from coal to oil‚ and then natural gas. Nowadays‚ coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas are the three main energy resources. The exploitation rate never catches up to the consumer rate. There are three main reasons. First of all‚ as the population
