Energy transport chemical

The vital processes—eg, synthetic reactions, muscular contraction, nerve impulse conduction, and active transport—obtain energy by chemical linkage, or coupling, to oxidative reactions. In its simplest form, this type of coupling may be represented as shown in Figure 10—1. The conversion of metabolite A to metabolite B... 

In addition to the man-made environmental problems that have affected the Caspian adversely, the sea has exhibited a curious natural variation in its water level that has created additional problems and has wrought havoc on coastal infrastmcture. Since 1978, the sea level has risen almost 7.5 feet. Flooding in coastal zones has inundated residential areas, transport, telecommunications and energy infrastructure, chemical and petrochemical industries, croplands and hatcheries, forcing thousands of residents to be evacuated from flooded homes. In Turkmenistan, the town of Dervish, which is detached from the western part of the mainland, is turning into an island due to the rise in sea level, and Cheleken and Karakul are sinking into the water as well. 

The studies have also considered different transport options for their respective hydrogen corridors. Some of the studies also compare alternative methods of energy transport (e.g., electricity or chemical compounds). Table 17.2 contains a list of the different transport options. 

In this paper a transfer model will be presented, which can predict mass and energy transport through a gas/vapour-liquid interface where a chemical reaction occurs simultaneously in the liquid phase. In this model the Maxwell-Stefan theory has been used to describe the transport of mass and heat. On the basis of this model a numerical study will be made to investigate the consequences of using the Maxwell-Stefan equation for describing mass transfer in case of physical absorption and in case of absorption with chemical reaction. Despite the fact that the Maxwell-Stefan theory has received significant attention, the incorporation of chemical reactions with associated...

Plants use photosynthesis to convert radiant solar energy to chemical energy. This chemical energy comes in the form of the plant material itself—biomass. We can use the energy of biomass in two ways processing the biomass to produce transportable fuels, or burning the biomass at a properly equipped power plant to produce electricity. Biomass can be grown on demand...

The only dynamic phenomena of interest within the solid materials of an SOFC (cell, interconnects, end plates, etc.) is thermal energy transport. Here, the same formulation used for the gas-phase, Equation (9.10), can be used, except that here the velocity, V, is zero. While the solid body components do not show chemical reactions, Ri, there is internal heat generation through electrical ohmic losses. Hence, the model equation is ... 

These experiments show that with increasing plasma energy the chemical equilibrium of the reaction (1) is shifted to the right in the C/N2 -system (transport direction 2 - Ei) whereas it is shifted to the left in the C/H2- and C/02-systems (transport direction -+E2). The mechanism of the transport was previously discussed for the C/N2-system28,35,43 and C/H2- and C/02-systems28,39,44. It was shown that the transport involves formation and subsequent decomposition of CN, simple hydrocarbon radicals and CO in the systems C/N2, C/H2 and C/02 respectively. 

Any endoergonic photochemical reaction converts light energy into chemical energy. If the photoproducts are kinetically stable, they have to be considered fuels as they can be stored, transported and then converted to other chemical species with evolution of energy11 ). As we have seen in Section 5, electronic excitation increases the oxidation and reduction potentials of a molecule. Light absorption can thus drive a redox reaction in the non-spontaneous direction (Fig. 16).
