MAN Diesel & Turbo delivers 1st IMO-certified two-stroke with Tier III NOx control, EGR systems

Green Car Congress

two-stroke main-engines that feature integrated Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) systems. IMO Tier III came into force in January 2016. Vessels with a keel-laid date on or after 1 January 2016 that travel in NO x Emission Control Areas (ECA) require IMO Tier III-certified engines. Rationale behind G-type introduction.

Researchers convert atmospheric CO2 to carbon nanofibers and nanotubes for use as anodes in Li-ion and Na-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers from George Washington University and Vanderbilt University have demonstrated the conversion of atmospheric CO 2 into carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for use as high-performance anodes in both lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. times above that of sodium-ion batteries with graphite electrodes.

China’s New Breeder Reactors May Produce More Than Just Watts

Cars That Think

Liquid sodium is used as a coolant because it does not slow down neutrons as much as water does. Japan also developed a fast breeder power reactor, one that proved to be a costly mistake, prompting a decision in 2016 to decommission it. Weapons-grade plutonium can be separated chemically from the blanket.

CMU study concludes lithium market fluctuations unlikely to impact Li-ion battery prices significantly

Green Car Congress

A new study by a team from Carnegie Mellon University’s College of Engineering has found that even large increases in lithium prices are unlikely to increase significantly the cost of batteries or battery packs for end users such as vehicle manufactures or consumers—although some manufacturers may see reduced profit margins.

Tohoku researchers develop efficient hydrodynamic reactor for pretreatment of biomass

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Tohoku University in Japan have developed a new system combining hydrodynamic cavitation with sodium percarbonate (SP) (an environmentally benign oxidation reagent) for the efficient pre-treatment of biomass. These bubbles subsequently collapse when the pressure increases downstream of the constriction. 5b04375.

The Electrome: The Next Great Frontier For Biomedical Technology

Cars That Think

The first time it was committed to print is a 2016 paper by this guy called Arnold De Loof , a researcher out in Europe. It’s basically the reason they say you’re 66 percent water or whatever. This is like sieve water. It’s got sodium, potassium, calcium, etc., It doesn’t really like sodium so much.
