This book is in the field of Engineering Thermophysics. It first introduces the authors’ academic thoughts of photo-thermal energy cascade conversion in the fuel combustion. Afterward, a series of thermal radiation theories and models have been developed based on the aim of radiative energy utilization, including spectral radiation available energy theory, gas radiation model under complex combustion conditions, and calculation model of radiation available energy transfer in combustion medium. Based on simulation and experimental results, the radiative energy characteristics of different fuel combustion are introduced. This book develops the radiation theory of the combustion process from a new perspective, integrating theories, models, and experimental results. This book can be used as a reference for scientists, engineers, and graduate students engaged in energy environment, combustion, and thermal radiation.
How toxic are the products we consume on a daily basis? Whether it’s triclosan in toothpaste, formaldehyde in baby shampoo, endocrine disruptors in water bottles, or pesticides on strawberries, chemicals in food and personal care products are of increasing concern to consumers. This book chronicles how ordinary people try to avoid exposure to toxics in grocery store aisles using the practice of “precautionary consumption.” Through an innovative analysis of environmental regulation, the advocacy work of environmental health groups, the expansion of the health-food chain Whole Foods Market, and interviews with consumers, Norah MacKendrick ponders why the problem of toxics in the U.S. ret...
Chemistry is a subject that makes human life better. In the past few hundred years, the development of modern chemistry has also explained this meaning perfectly. Naturally, supramolecular chemistry also needs to move from theory to application, from laboratory to society, and ultimately benefit mankind. Insoluble drugs refer to poorly water-soluble drugs, which will lead to difficult absorption and transportation in vivo and low bioavailability. About 40% of the newly discovered natural active substances and nearly 60% of the chemically synthesized drugs are insoluble drugs. Their solubility (in water) is poor and it is difficult to achieve satisfactory clinical efficacy, so they have not b...
Chemical Engineering III includes the proceedings of the 3rd SREE Conference on Chemical Engineering (CCE 2013, Hong Kong, 28-29 December 2013) and the 2nd SREE Workshop on Energy, Environment and Engineering (WEEE 2013, which was a part of CCE 2013). The contributions discuss current practical challenges and solutions in Chemical Engineering, and
An examination of “cultural zoning” in China considers why government regulation of online video is so much more lenient than regulation of broadcast television. In Zoning China, Luzhou Li investigates why the Chinese government regulates online video relatively leniently while tightly controlling what appears on broadcast television. Li argues that television has largely been the province of the state, even as the market has dominated the development of online video. Thus online video became a space where people could question state media and the state's preferred ideological narratives about the nation, history, and society. Li connects this relatively unregulated arena to the “secon...
There is virtually nowhere on earth that remains untouched by plastics and the situation presents a serious threat to our natural world. Despite the magnitude of the problem, the interventions most often put in place are consumer-led and market-based and only nominally capable of addressing the issue. As the problem worsens and neoliberal ideologies limit the world’s responses to this crisis, there is a growing need for legislative frameworks that attend to the complex social and ecological issues associated with plastics. The contributors to this volume bring expertise from across academic disciplines to illustrate how plastics are produced, consumed, and discarded and to find holistic an...
