“…Despite the large increase in speed the incremental effect on power increase is small, since the generation depends only on the temperature gradient that stabilizes after 20 m/s. As a comparison, we cite the work developed by BMW researchers in 2009 who obtained an electrical power of 200W from a system of 24 Bi2Te3 thermoelectric modules installed in the engine of a BMW 535i at 130 km/h [37,42,43], showing that, respecting the particularities of each work, the results presented here are in the same order of magnitude and are therefore consistent with what is proposed.…”

The thermoelectric effect allows the direct conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy without the need for moving parts and its applications are endless, with only the availability of a temperature gradient. Combustion vehicles generate energy losses of up to 62% and it is estimated that efficiency with thermoelectric generators can be increased by up to 8%. In this work we propose a system of waste heat from exhaust gases from the thermoelectric effect. A computational model was developed using the finite element method. Based on the simulations, a set of curves of electrical variables can be made as a function of temperature. There is a good correlation between the model and datasheet data. Based on the modeled system, it was possible to evaluate a generation system with the generation of up to 120W with 5.8% efficiency, representing an increase of up to 3% in overall efficiency.

“…This statement is ratified in Table 3, where the maximum chlorophyll a and b occurs in treatment 1, followed by treatments 2, 4, and 5, until reaching the minimum in treatment 3; and in Table 4, when the maximum chlorophyll a and b occurs in treatment 5, then in treatments 2, 1, and 4, until reaching the minimum of this pigment in treatment 3, which leads to the fact that at 0.050 µmol dm −3 for zinc sulfate and iron sulfate, the lowest contents of chlorophyll a and b are obtained in the leaves; hence, it is an unfavorable treatment for photosynthetic development. These effects have been observed in various crops, such as beans; as reported by Zewail [36], the present results did not show a convincing response; in the case of total carotenoids, no difference was observed, while chlorophylls a and b had minimal uptakes with the contributions of iron and zinc by the foliar route in bean plants; that is, it is not a favorable treatment for photosynthetic development [37][38][39].…”

Agriculture is one of the economic activities with the most potential in Colombia, given its climatic and geographical conditions. Bean cultivation is classified as climbing, which grows in a branched way, and bushy, whose growth occurs up to 70 cm. The objective of this research was to study zinc and iron sulfates in different concentrations as fertilizers capable of increasing the nutritional value of kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), whose strategy is known as biofortification, and thus determine the most effective sulfate. The methodology details the sulfate formulations, their preparation, the application of additives, sampling and quantification methods of total iron, total zinc, °Brix, carotenoids, chlorophylls a, b, and antioxidant capacity using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method in leaves and pods. As for the results, it was found that biofortification with iron sulfate and zinc sulfate is a strategy that favors the country’s economy and human health, because it allows the increase of minerals, antioxidant capacity and total soluble solids.

“…However, it has to be considered that, in this previous research, the raw gas was not previously treated, which could mean the presence of corrosion and hydrate formation; also, the heating value was not improved, and the use of a gas turbine instead of a gas internal combustion engine has a lower long-term performance due to the variables considered in Section 3.3. In addition, the results show that the performance of the scenarios depends on the gas flow rate, as Mohmmad Hidari et al [23][24][25][48][49][50][51][52] concluded in his research.…”

“…The independent variable in this analysis was the DEA volume flow, showing that, by decreasing the flow entering the absorber, the mole fraction of pentane will increase and that the gas composition is highly related to the entering flow of DEA. As a result, for the removal of the contaminants and the higher amount of pentane, the minimum volume where the number of contaminants started to appear (approximately 13.93 m 3 /h) is the optimized value for the DEA flow [48][49][50][51][52]. Another variable to take into consideration for the gas composition was the DEA inlet temperature, as shown in Figure 6.…”

During petroleum industry operations, burning flammable gas components in the flaring stacks is common, normally a symbol for stable production, but flaring these components creates harmful emissions for the environment. This flaring gas has components with a high quantity of heating power, an important measurement that quantifies the energy that can potentially be obtained from this wasted resource. This paper aims to evaluate the energy usage of the flaring gas, estimating the possible energy produced with this usable resource by modeling a treatment and energy generation process employing the Aspen HYSYS® simulator. The flaring gas is characterized using different models and compositional ranges of natural gas to know what kind of gas it is and identify what type of equipment could be used for treatment and energy generation from this resource. After the gas characterization, the selection of the equipment of treatment and energy generation is necessary; this is done using a multicriteria analysis by taking into consideration the variables of gas composition, electrical efficiency, economic performance, and GHG emissions, ensuring to generate the greatest amount of energy possible to be produced with this flaring gas. By increasing the LHV, 0.95 MMSCF of flared gas of an oilfield in the VMM basin produced 5133 kW, enough energy to supply gas treatment and power generation facilities and four times the total gross consumption energy of a model oilfield in the basin, while the CO2 emissions were reduced 11.4%, and cost savings using this resource instead of diesel were obtained. In conclusion, to minimize flaring and to recover and reuse these waste components, looking for alternatives for the use of this gas-like power generation is an important option that reduces pollutants emission, gives a new source of fuel, and gives an energy usefulness to this wasted resource.
