Recreational and Transportation Solvents

Lior reviews some leading novel energy conversion approaches which are aimed at improving power generation efficiency and/or reducing harmful emissions. Included would be solvent nse and conservation (Lior, 1997). 

Thermophotovoltaic systems convert the radiant energy produced by fuel combustion directly into electricity. Snch systems can potentially attain high overall conversion efficiencies. Because they may use renewable as well as fossil fnels, they permit a smooth pathway for an environmentally benign method of electrical energy generation (Catalano, 1996). 

Transportation is an industry that is dependent upon solvents. There is an application of fuzzy logic to the risk assessment of the transport of hazardous materials by road and pipeline in order to evaluate the uncertainties affecting both individual and societal risk estimates. In evaluating uncertainty by fuzzy logic, the uncertain input parameters are described by fuzzy numbers and calculations are performed using fuzzy arithmetic the outputs will also be fuzzy numbers. This work is an attempt to justify some of the questions the use of fuzzy logic in the field of risk analysis stimu-
