20 May 2014 A World with Thorium The research investigates the benefits of Thorium as an alternative source of energy. The scope of the essay was focused on four main points: how long reserves of Thorium would last‚ the benefits of reduced pollution using Thorium reactors‚ Thorium’s inability to be used in weapons‚ and its advantage over the current nuclear fuel Uranium. Most sources were found in a database called EBSCOhost‚ in which there was a concept for a reactor known as the Radkowsky design

Depletion of Natural Resources - Oil DEPLETION OF ENERGY RESOURCES Modern industrial society is based on a triad of hydrocarbons‚ metals‚ and electricity. The three are intricately connected; each is accessible only if the other two are present. Electricity‚ for example‚ can be generated on a global scale only with hydrocarbons. The same dependence on hydrocarbons is true of metals; in fact the better types of ore are now becoming depleted‚ while those that remain can be processed only with modern

“The use of fossil fuels‚ such as coal and oil‚ belongs to the past.” For the time being‚ the world is mostly dependent on the use of fossil fuels. All the infrastructure is fossil fuel based. i.e. if the world runs out of fossil fuels now‚ there won’t be any alternative energy source to power the entire world. Fossil fuels are usually found in rock formations containing fossils from decomposed animals and plants. The formation of fossil fuels happens in the course of hundreds of millions of years

Fuel properties of diesel‚ mahua oil and blends are comparable. The calorific value of mahua oil was found as 96.30% on volume basis of diesel. It was found that mahua could be easily substituted up to 20% in diesel without any significant difference in power output‚ brake specific fuel consumption and brake thermal efficiency. The
