Climate change and rapid population growth have caused a steady rise in the global
demand of water, energy and food. Various review articles have studied this effect through …

Abstract Integrated Natural Resource Conservation and Development (INRCD) design tasks
require clear frameworks and decision-support tools which translate the traditionally national …

Growing shale gas extraction in recent years has triggered wide discussions on the
associated freshwater requirement and wastewater management. Many optimization …

These days, developing sustainable chemical facilities to generate biofuels, energy,
bioproducts, and value-added chemicals has attracted attention. The above involves …

Shale gas wells typically have steep production decline curves in the first few years of
operation. Therefore, if such reduction in production is not accounted for, much of the …

Engineering innovations—including those in heat and mass transfer—are needed to provide
food, water, and power to a growing population (ie, projected to be 9.8× 109 by 2050) with …

This study develops a framework for water-energy nexus optimization in shale gas
production and distribution network under uncertainty. Sustainable design of the network is …

The production of shale gas and oil is associated with the generation of substantial amounts
of wastewater. With the growing emphasis on sustainable development, the energy sector …

The dramatic increase in discovering reserves of unconventional oil and gas wells has led to
significant production of shale gas. It is predicted that by 2035, shale gas will be nearly half …

This work presents a mathematical framework for optimizing water-energy nexus during
shale gas production, processing, distribution, usage in power generation, and transmission …
