In recent years, in response to an increased demand for renewable energy sources, there has been a rise in the rate of energy recovery from municipal solid trash. This study analyses the feasibility of employing a variety of energy recovery methods to produce clean power from municipal solid waste (MSW). The conversion of MSW into a variety of useable sources of energy, such as fuel, heat and electricity, is required for the process of energy recovery. Other strategies for the recuperation of lost energy include gasification, incineration, anaerobic digestion, and the recovery of landfill gas. This article provides a high-level assessment of the advantages and disadvantages associated with each technology that is currently being utilised in India. According to the findings of the study, recovering energy from municipal solid waste is a sustainable and cost-effective option that can fulfil the growing demand for power while simultaneously lowering emissions of greenhouse gases and the amount of rubbish that ends up in landfills.

This study builds upon the research progress in the theories of CBM desorption, diffusion, and seepage flow to explore the production mechanisms of deep coalbed methane (CBM) in the Daing-Jixian block, aiming to achieve scientific and reasonable control of gas wells. Theoretical analysis suggests that CBM adsorption belongs to liquid–solid interfacial adsorption, encompassing four stages: liquid phase adsorption—liquid phase desorption—composite desorption—gas phase desorption. Most of the desorbed gas is driven by a pressure differential in a Darcy's flow process. By calculating the Knudsen number (Kn) under various temperature, pressure, and fracture diameter conditions, the flow state can be identified. Whole-diameter CT scanning reveals a multi-scale pore-fracture system ranging from millimeters to micrometers to nanometers. Calculations show that during the gas well drainage and depressurization process, fractures of millimeter scale and larger exhibit Darcy's flow, while micron-scale fractures maintain Darcy's flow status above a reservoir pressure of 5 MPa; other scales primarily exhibit non-Darcy flow without significant macroscopic movement. In summary, starting from the fundamental mechanisms of the original multiscale tri-level pore-permeability system of the coal reservoir, through the post-fracturing transformation forming three diversion zones of high, medium, and low conductive regions, and transitioning from primarily free gas to desorbed gas in three production stages, an ideal comprehensive production model schematic for the study area has been established, providing theoretical support for on-site production management.

Amidst the sweeping changes in the global electricity and automotive sectors, we observe a rapid surge in the proliferation of distributed generation (DG) and electric vehicles (EVs), primarily driven by the widespread deployment of photovoltaic systems. The widespread embrace of EVs necessitates a dual approach of financial incentives and infrastructure development to enhance the appeal of these vehicles. The findings presented in this paper hold significant importance for policymakers, underscoring the urgency of transitioning toward sustainable decentralized power systems and promoting EV adoption. While this transition offers promising opportunities, it also presents formidable challenges. Successful integration of DG and EVs demands careful attention to policy and regulatory frameworks. Some experts advocate for simultaneous adjustments in design, addressing mobility limitations and offering incentives for DG and EVs. Given the multitude of uncertainties, the authors suggest employing a system dynamics model to analyze the impact of photovoltaic technology and EV diffusion. The paper concludes that, within the Colombian context, the potential exists, under specific conditions, to increase the adoption of solar panels and EVs in households. This, in turn, contributes to a reduction in CO2 emissions and a transformative shift in the composition of the automotive fleet toward EVs.

Research Problem: The research investigates the process of heat transmission and the production of entropy within the regenerative cooling channel of a rocket engine. The primary focus of the investigation is on the use of nanoparticles (titanium dioxide, copper oxide, and alumina dioxide) that are dispersed in water as the base fluid. Within the context of the cooling system, the research endeavors to gain an understanding of the influence that these nanofluids have on hydrothermal performance and entropy production. Methodology: The investigation transforms similarity to reduce the governing equations to a non-dimensional form. We solve the altered equations using a shooting technique and the reduced Kutta-4 (RK-4) numerical method. With a particular focus on the Nusselt number and entropy generation number, graphic representations highlight the important parameters affecting hydrothermal performance. Implications: The results emphasize how well water-based nanofluids work, especially titanium dioxide (TiO2), as a coolant in rocket engines. The work also clarifies how different parameters affect the entropy creation in the system. The importance of this study is in its possible use to improve the design of regenerative cooling systems in aeronautical engineering, therefore raising overall performance and efficiency. Future work: More investigation into the manipulation of fluid characteristics and nanoparticle concentrations should improve rocket engine cooling efficiency even more. Alternative nanoparticle materials and their impact on entropy generation and heat transport might also be investigated. Moreover, experimental validation of the numerical results can offer important information for the practical use and validation of the suggested approaches.

In smart cities, sustainable development depends on energy load prediction since it directs utilities in effectively planning, distributing and generating energy. This work presents a novel hybrid deep learning model including components of the Improved-convolutional neural network (CNN), bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM), Graph neural network (GNN), Transformer and Fusion Layer architectures for precise energy load forecasting. Better feature extraction results from the Improved-CNN's dilated convolution and residual block accommodation of wide receptive fields reduced the vanishing gradient problem. By capturing temporal links in both directions, Bi-LSTM networks help to better grasp complicated energy use patterns. Graph neural networks improve predictive capacities across linked systems by characterizing the spatial relationships between energy-consuming units in smart cities. Emphasizing critical trends to guarantee reliable forecasts, transformer models use attention methods to manage long-term dependencies in energy consumption data. Combining CNN, Bi-LSTM, Transformer and GNN component predictions in a Fusion Layer synthesizes numerous data representations to increase accuracy. With Root Mean Square Error of 5.7532 Wh, Mean Absolute Percentage Error of 3.5001%, Mean Absolute Error of 6.7532 Wh and R2 of 0.9701, the hybrid model fared better than other models on the ‘Electric Power Consumption’ Kaggle dataset. This work develops a realistic model that helps informed decision-making and enhances energy efficiency techniques, promoting energy load forecasting in smart cities.

The hydrocarbon potential of the Bodong Sag remains unclear. Investigation and comprehensive evaluation of Paleogene lacustrine source rocks is essential to determine the exploration potential and direction. This study examined the Paleogene source rocks using organic geochemical methods, including total organic carbon (TOC), Rock-Eval pyrolysis, maceral composition, vitrinite reflectance (Ro), and kinetic analysis. For the first time in this study area, a three-dimensional (3D) kinetics-based petroleum system modeling approach was employed to reconstruct the burial history, thermal maturity, and hydrocarbon generation history of the source rocks. The resource mass was evaluated based on the calculated generation mass. Results indicate that the third member (E2s3) and first member (E3s1) of the Shahejie Formation are mainly Type II1 organic matter, exhibiting high generation potential. The third member of the Dongying Formation (E3d3) contains mixed Type II1 and II2 organic matter, with moderate potential. The E2s3 and E3s1 source rocks matured early, entering the oil window in the Early Oligocene (∼30.3 Ma) and Middle Oligocene (∼28 Ma), respectively, and are currently in the wet gas to dry gas stage. The E3d3 source rocks matured later, entering the oil window at the end of the Oligocene (∼24.6 Ma) and are currently in the late oil to the wet gas stage. Subsidence and burial have resulted in higher maturity in the southern subsag compared to the northern subsag, with the margins remaining in low maturity to immature stages. Resource estimates for the Bodong Sag source rocks are quantified at 8.33 × 108 t of oil and 1.68 × 1011 m3 of gas. E2s3, E3s1, and E3d3 contribute 41.62%, 33.95%, and 24.43% respectively, with E2s3 source rocks being the major contributor. The southern subsag, accounting for 76.92%, is the primary hydrocarbon generation kitchen. The significant increase in natural gas resources highlights the prospects for natural gas exploration in the Bodong area.

Responsible, efficient, and environmentally conscious energy consumption practices are increasingly essential for ensuring the reliability of the modern electricity grid. This study focuses on leveraging time series analysis to improve forecasting accuracy, crucial for various application domains where real-world time series data often exhibit complex, non-linear patterns. Our approach advocates for utilizing long short-term memory (LSTM) and bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) models for precise time series forecasting. To ensure a fair evaluation, we compare the performance of our proposed approach with traditional neural networks, time-series forecasting methods, and conventional decline curves. Additionally, individual models based on LSTM, Bi-LSTM, and other machine learning methods are implemented for a comprehensive assessment. Experimental results consistently demonstrate that our proposed model outperforms all benchmarking methods in terms of mean absolute error (MAE) across most datasets. Addressing the imbalance between activations by consumer and prosumer groups, our predictions show superior performance compared to several traditional forecasting methods, such as the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model and seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model. Specifically, the root mean square error (RMSE) of Bi-LSTM is 5.35%, 46.08%, and 50.6% lower than LSTM, ARIMA, and SARIMA, respectively, on the May test data.

Coal bed methane is one of the clean energy sources in the world. Methane molecules are confined inside the pores of coals and when the gas drainage wells are drilled into the coal seams, due to the resulted pressure difference. Coal cleats are spread all over the coal seam as face and butt cleats and play an essential role in the methane gas drainage operation from coal mines. Calculating the coal cleats spacing makes great help in modeling the amount of emitted gas followed by calculating the spacing of gas suction wells. Furthermore, the time required for gas drainage will be determined. Computer-based image processing technique has been utilized to identify the cleats spacing. In this study, three-dimensional computed tomography scan images were prepared for coal samples from Tabas Coal Mine in Iran. Computer-based image processing technology was conducted to determine the coal cleats. Their spacing was then calculated. Based on the results obtained using image processing with computer, the average distance between face cleats was 20 to 30 mm and the distance between butt cleats was 15 to 25 mm. The results of this study are used to modeling the amount of methane gas in the coal cleats. Based on this modeling, the amount of released gas and the distance between the wells can be designed.

Energy auditing is crucial for both emerging and developed nations, focusing on aspects such as energy efficiency, quality and intensity. This becomes especially significant in the industrial sector, where major operating costs involve materials, machinery, personnel and energy. A key objective is identifying energy consumption in the Continuous Miner Machine, boasting a 1050 KW connected load, to explore opportunities for energy savings and improved quality. The execution of an energy audit promises increased efficiency, enhanced power quality, reduced costs and prevention of energy wastage. This research study has meticulously examined the electrical equipment supplying power to Continuous Miner Machines, proposing modifications to boost production through energy-efficient methods.

To expedite drilling operations in hard rock of coal mines, a new type of impact-shear drill bit was developed, and its mechanism of speed-up and efficiency increase was studied. The RHT constitutive model was used to describe the structural behavior of rock, and the rock-breaking simulation model of full-size bit was established. Compared with PDC bit and hammer bit, the rock-breaking force, bit torque, and rock stress characteristics of impact-shear bit were analyzed. The results show that, in comparison to PDC bit and hammer bit, the axial force of impact-shear bit was reduced by 68.25% and 71.40%, respectively, and the average torque was reduced by 91.79% and 83.36%, respectively. Notably, for the impact-shear bit, the fluctuation of drilling force was effectively mitigated, the stick–slip vibration of bit was weakened, the rock-breaking energy consumption was drastically reduced, and the rock-breaking efficiency and bit’s life were finally improved. In terms of rock stress characteristics, the pre-impact effect of the central hammer bit of the impact-shear bit can release the internal stress of the rock well, and the stress of the rock element on the hole wall was relatively reduced, thus making it easier for the external PDC bit to break the rock. Field test results show that, under the condition of the small drilling rig, the impact-shear bit can give full play to the pre-crushing function of the impact mechanism, thereby effectively protecting the PDC cutter of external PDC bit, and realizing the fast hole-forming in hard rock of coal mine.
