According to the American Environment Research and Policy Center, America’s dependence on fossil fuels, and the resulting global warming pollution, has been increasing both nationally and at the state level for decades (AERPC, 2009). The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2007) issued its Fourth Assessment Report in 2007, describing how atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases have increased as a direct result of human activity for over one hundred years. Various implications of this increase in greenhouse gases include increases in average air and ocean temperatures, melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level. These environmental implications have important negative ecological and economic effects. Educational campaigns, policy initiatives and an increased public interest in alternative energies have led to the beginnings of a shift in this trend of increasing greenhouse gas emissions. Emissions declined in 17 states between 2004 and 2007 due to the use of cleaner and more efficient forms of energy (AERPC, 2009). To continue this decrease in carbon emissions, it is in the interest of researchers and decision makers to expand the clean energy market, where doing so requires an understanding of the public’s preferences and behavior regarding energy consumption. Attitudes are commonly linked to intentions and behavior, and as such, are believed to be an important component of the construction and implementation of various public policy initiatives (Krosnick, 1988; Ritchie & Spencer, 1994; Hini et al., 1995; Kaiser et al., 1999). Attitudes have been directly linked to behavioral change by Loudon and Della Bitta (1993), who state “behavioral change is a function of change in behavioral intentions...changes in behavioral intentions are related to change in attitude” (p.422), and by Bamberg (2003), who maintains that “degree of environmental concern has a direct strong impact on people’s behavior” (p.4). As a determinant of behavior, attitudes such as environmental concern are important to understand if we are to promote alternative energies like biofuels. Understanding whether or not environmental concern affects consumers’ decisions to purchase biofuels will be of great use to policy makers and other groups interested in expanding the emerging biofuels market. On the other hand, consumer perceptions of biofuels are also likely to be important.

This subject spans aspects of all states of matter and various phenomena including pollution, (Ashmore and Nathanail, 2008; Busca, 2009; Carls and Meador, 2009; Feldmann et al., 2009; Steinbach and Hoffmann, 2010; Gao et al., 2011; Humphris, 2011; Wirth et al., 2011) the generation of new materials, health, medicine, and energy. With ever increasing population constraints on resources demand interest in sustainable technologies and these must be green in nature. In terms of energy, there are environmental chemistry concerns regarding solar, geothermal, nuclear, fossil fuel, and other forms of energy. In the area of materials, nano-size systems are currently of tremendous interest and such systems pose environmental and health threats that are just beginning to be formulated (Ashmore and Nathanail, 2008; Gao et al., 2011; Humphris, 2011; Wirth et al., 2011). Feedstocks of all types are subject to contamination from a variety of sources. Analyzing such feedstocks and determining exact concentrations can be a challenge. Computational modeling studies are often useful in understanding such complex systems (Ventura et al., 2009; Kubicki and Mueller, 2010). Continual new regulations and protocols based on new data influence our world every day. The characterization of materials is an area that continues to improve. The chemical and physical properties of systems and their environmental effects are often challenging especially with real world samples that are not pristine and may have a multitude of components. These days composite materials or multi-component systems are being developed to solve complex problems. The synergetic effects of such composites are often not well known and the potential environmental problems associated with such composites are also not well known (He et al., 2008; Carls and Meador, 2009). The development of novel methods of analysis to study such complex systems and concomitant environmental chemistry problems is a major area of research. In situ monitoring and miniaturization of such instrumentation are some of the goals of this area. There is a continual need for basic studies of air, water, soil, and artificial/manmade materials. How all of these systems interact with various life forms is of considerable interest. Interactions of bacteria, viruses, and cells in these different environments continue to be developed. The political, legal, and social aspects of results of these studies are constantly being explored.

Thermal energy and mechanical energy are two common forms of energy consumed significantly in the process industries. While thermal energy can be effectively recovered using matured heat integration technologies, recovery of mechanical energy through work integration has not been fully explored. It is shown that work integration can be achieved through synthesizing work exchange networks (WENs), where work exchangers are operated in a batch mode, and compressors and expanders are operated in a continuous mode; this renders network synthesis a very sophisticated design task. It is greatly beneficial if the maximum amount of mechanical energy recoverable by a WEN can be determined prior to network design. In this article, we introduce a thermodynamic modeling and analysis method to identify accurately the maximum amount of recoverable mechanical energy of any process system of interest. The method is rigorous and general for target setting of mechanical energy recovery prior to WEN synthesis. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2017

Thermal energy and mechanical energy are two common forms of energy consumed significantly in the process industries. While thermal energy can be effectively recovered using matured heat integration technologies, recovery of mechanical energy through work integration has not been fully explored. It is shown that work integration can be achieved through synthesizing work exchange networks (WENs), where work exchangers are operated in a batch mode, and compressors and expanders are operated in a continuous mode; this renders network synthesis a very sophisticated design task. It is greatly beneficial if the maximum amount of mechanical energy recoverable by a WEN can be determined prior to network design. In this article, we introduce a thermodynamic modeling and analysis method to identify accurately the maximum amount of recoverable mechanical energy of any process system of interest. The method is rigorous and general for target setting of mechanical energy recovery prior to WEN synthesis. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2017
