In the past, fossil fuels have been considered a reliable source of
energy by many countries. Despite the current measures to reduce
the use of fossil fuels for electricity generation, the use of this
type of energy source will continue for the foreseeable future.
Advances in Energy Research. Volume 31 examines how, if this
situation does not change in the future, then all types of fossil
fuels, particularly oil, will be exhausted before the end of the
current century. The use of microholes may potentially enhance the
applications of fossil fuels in various energy fields, especially
in thermal power plants. Therefore, the morphology variation of
micropunch and microhole during the punching with WC/Co
micropunches is investigated in this compilation through scanning
electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometer and confocal
laser studies. Following this, the authors provide a review on
experimental and modeling studies performed with direct fuel cells,
starting with the fundamentals and main drawbacks of these systems,
followed by an exhaustive review on the different studies performed
regarding the effects of operating conditions and design
parameters. In the penultimate chapter, a new method for
determining the cohesion potential energy in solids is described,
and fundamental factors such as internal energy, entropy,
temperature and time are examined, in particular the connection of
entropy and time to potential energy. The method concerns molecular
solids and rests upon measurable thermodynamic quantities: heat of
sublimation, heat capacity, and entropy as derived from the latter.
The closing chapter provides an overview of three methods (retarded
osmosis method, forward osmosis-electrokinetic method, and
diffusio-osmotic method) for sustainable power generation from the
salinity gradient energy by using osmosis-based processes.
