Among them, thermodynamics, reaction kinetics and transport phenomena are often considered as the cornerstones, providing support for the design and operation of diverse chemical processes for power generation and production of industrial goods such as plastics, gasoline and ammonia. Traditionally, these industrial processes use fossil fuels as the raw materials and are responsible for significant greenhouse gas emissions. As fossil-energy-based processes are deemed phasing out , development of alternative routes with renewable energy and sustainable feedstock is calling for the expansion of the knowledge base such that eco-friendly chemical processes can be quantified, controlled and optimized with high precision. This article offers some perspectives on possible engineering developments to accelerate the paradigm shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy.展开更多

A systems engineering model was developed and used to evaluate the total allelopathic potential of crop cultivars. In addition, a method for quantifying the total allelopathic potential in crop accessions was presented. Total allelopathic potential of four winter wheat accessions from the Loess Plateau was estimated and compared using a systems theory approach. The model assessed allelopathic potential in different parts of the plants from the time wheat turned green in spring until maturity. Results from these models indicated that the four wheat accessions had very weak allelopathic potential. Allelopathic potential declined in the order Xiaoyan 22 〉 Ningdong 1 〉 Fengchan 3 〉 Bima 1. This system engineering evaluation method allows for the assessment of allelopathic potential among crop varieties. It will help plant breeders to select and develop allelopathic crop accessions that combine weed suppression properties with agronomic traits related to yield and quality.展开更多
