The economic costs of global warmlng damage: A
survey Global Environmental Change, Dec. 1994, 4, (4), Fankhauser, S. 301-309. The paper provides an overview on literature dealing with an. economic assessment of expected global warming damage. While a relattvely large body of literature exists on other economic aspects of global warming, m particular the costs of carbon abatement, the question of greenhouse damage valuation has gained little attention so far. The first part of the paper surveys the results of existing analyses on the costs of global warming. The second part discusses the main shortcomings of these studies and the main problems faced by researchers in this area.

High flow decreased the ion concentration. In the discriminant analysis and principal component analysis, some sample points were identified as low flow and as high flow periods, where the chemical species were concerned or diluted respectively. It is also reflected in the high annual variability of physicochemical parameters at each sampling site.

Price, T. and Probert, D. Apphed Energy, 1995, 50, (2), 133-162. Environmental degradation caused by emissions from aircraft is likely to increase in severity with the growth of flying. Until recently, such emissions were considered to be insignificant, but durin the last five years, this view has been reversed. The complexity of the e # ects of pollution in the atmosphere has now been realised, at least qualitatively. The known wnsequences of some of the main emissions are discussed along with current environmental legislation and pertinent UK Government policy with regard to aviation. Reu?mmendationb are given for some future UK transportation-by-aircraft policy objectives that would safeguard the future of our, as yet, relatively pollution-free skies.

Describes modified formulas for gas composition and heat balance of coalfired boilers derived from chemical equations of desulphurixation with limestone. The differences between high-S coal and medium-S coal in calculations with modified and unmodified models is discussed. The modification can be used as reference in heat balance calculations and operation of desulphurization during coal combustion.
An experlmental study of deflagratlon to detona95103046 tlon transition supported by dust layers Li, Y. C. et al., Combustion & Flame, Feb. 1995, 100, (3), 505-515. The roles which dust layers play in severe dust explosiods.were investigated in 70-m-long and 30-cm-diameter horizontal flame acceleration tube with one end closed and the other end open to the atmosphere. A variety of dusts such as corn dust, cornstarch, Mira Gel starch, wheat dust, and wood flour were layered on the bottom half of the flame acceleration tube. Flame and detonation propagation parameters were closely monitored at different locations along the flame acceleration tube. The study demonstrated that the moisture content of the dust, the exposed area of the dust layers to the convective flow, and the physical characteristics of the dust are the factors that most determine the severity of layered dust explosions, indicating that prelayered dust combustion is dominated by the dust/air mixing process.

Fragmentatlon of calcium-based sorbents under high heating rate, short residence time condltlons
Hu, N. and Scaroni, A. W. Fuel, Mar. 1995, 74, (3), 374-382. A laser heating technique was developed to study the fragmentation behaviour of calcium-based sorbents under high heating rate, short residence time conditions. Eight geologically dissimtlar, commercially available calcium-based sorbents were tested in the reactor using particle sixes in the range 37-105 micron. The fragmentation behaviour was a function of sorbem type, particle size and particle temperature over the ran e of 60016OO’C. with the sorbent type being the dominant oarameter. b olostones were more susceptible to breakage&n limestones: The mechanism proposed for the fragmentation of the dolostones involves the rapid decomposition of the magnesium carbonate, which builds within the particles a sufficiently high pressure of CO, to overcome the inherent mechanical strength.
