Journal ArticleDOI

Transport impacts on atmosphere and climate: Metrics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present Global Warming Potentials (GWPs) as these have traditionally been used in the implementation of climate policy, and discuss the uncertainties in these estimates, and the ranking of the various components with respect to their confidence in the given metric values is also given.
Journal ArticleDOI

Air pollution and early deaths in the United States. Part I: Quantifying the impact of major sectors in 2005

TL;DR: In this article, a multiscale air quality model is applied to assess the health impacts of major emissions sectors in United States and the results indicate the extent to which policy measures could be undertaken in order to mitigate the impact of specific emissions from different sectors d in particular black carbon emissions from road transportation and sulfur dioxide emissions from power generation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Historical and future trends in aircraft performance, cost, and emissions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the historical influence of aircraft performance on cost to examine the potential pace of future efficiency improvements and emissions reduction, and quantified and correlated the technological and operational influences on aircraft energy intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI

A six-wafer combustion system for a silicon micro gas turbine engine

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the design, fabrication, packaging, and experimental test results for the 6-wafer combustion system for a silicon microengine, which is largely fabricated by deep reactive ion etching through a total thickness of 3800 /spl mu/m.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combustors for micro-gas turbine engines

TL;DR: In this paper, a hydrogen-air microcombustor is proposed for use in a 1 mm 2 inlet area, micro-gas turbine engine, and the entire combustion process is carried out at temperatures below the limitations set by material properties, resulting in a significant reduction of complexity when compared to larger scale gas turbine combustors.
