design and analysis of nuclear and solar based energy food fuel and water production system for an indigenous community
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2021Co-Authors: Mert Temiz, Ibrahim DincerAbstract:Abstract For the Sustainable Communities, there is a strong need to address the United Nations' Sustainable development goals for Communities, cities and countries. In this paper, we develop a unique hybrid energy system for cleaner productions of energy, fuel, food and water for an indigenous community by addressing the following goals, namely: zero hunger; clean water; affordable and clean energy; industry, innovation and infrastructure; Sustainable cities and Communities; and climate action. Also, the present Sustainable system is investigated thermodynamically by considering energy and exergy criteria and evaluated through energy and exergy efficiencies. As a case study, the Saugeen First Nation indigenous community in the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario, Canada, is selected for meeting the demands of useful commodities where an integration of a newly developed multigenerational system with an existing nuclear reactor is achieved in order to provide food security, supply the freshwater for drinking purposes, and meet the community's electricity and heat demands. Moreover, to exploit the existing thermophysical properties of fluids in the nuclear system, a hydrogen generation unit is proposed. The novel integration is enhanced the current nuclear system and increased the variety of useful outputs. The overall system is analyzed according to the first and second laws of thermodynamics. A transient (time-dependent) analysis is carried out via hourly simulations with software packages and hourly sensitive meteorological data. The overall system performance results are obtained as 65.8% for energy efficiency and 40.1% exergy efficiency at average ambient conditions for a 126.04 mol/s hydrogen production rate.

development of an integrated wind and pv system for ammonia and power production for a Sustainable community
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2019Co-Authors: Ahmed Hasan, Ibrahim DincerAbstract:Abstract This paper proposes a new renewable energy based integrated system for Sustainable Communities. The proposed system is conceptually developed, modeled, simulated and analyzed using four software packages, including Engineering Equation Solver (EES), Eureqa, SAM and Aspen Plus. The proposed bi-generation system consists of wind turbines, PV units, electrolyzer, and an ammonia synthesis system. The main inputs to the system are nitrogen, water, solar irradiance, and wind. The freshwater is used as the feedstock for the electrolyzers for hydrogen production. The hydrogen produced by the system is then used as feedstock for the multistage ammonia synthesis system. The maximum overall energy and exergy efficiencies of the system are obtained as follows 75.8% and 73.6% at a wind speed of 8 m/s and a solar irradiance of 0 W/ m 2 . However, at maximum power output from the solar field, the maximum exergy and energy efficiencies of the overall system are found to be 18.8% and 19.1%, respectively. The total exergy destruction at peak power and ammonia production is found to be 21.1 GW.

urban regeneration and Sustainable Communities the role of networks innovation and creativity in building successful partnerships
Journal of Urban Technology, 2007Co-Authors: Mark Deakin, Sam AllwinkleAbstract:The following examination goes against the current trend in policy on urban regeneration partnerships by relaxing the assumption that they represent virtuous circles of mutually reinforcing actions that are good in their own right. It does this by offering a critique of the market-led urban regeneration initiatives and suggesting that they be replaced by a plan-led alternative. This would entail strategic actions being based on a sufficiently “place-based” knowledge of what Communities need to be Sustainable. Urban regeneration now uses partnerships, with cities, regional development agencies, and businesses seeking to leverage resources from the private sector and channel money, capital, and professional expertise into the development of villages and neighborhoods as part of the search for Sustainable Communities. By focusing on the social capital of collaborative platforms and consensus building, it has become possible to recognize the critical role networks, innovation, and creative partnerships play in representing places that are not only sites of ecological integrity, equity, and democratic renewal, but that are also locations where socially inclusive decision making can institutionalize the civic values required for the regeneration of urban villages and neighborhoods as self-sustaining Communities.

creating healthy Communities healthy homes healthy people initiating a research agenda on the built environment and public health
American Journal of Public Health, 2003Co-Authors: Shobha Srinivasan, Liam R Ofallon, Allen DearryAbstract:Mounting evidence suggests physical and mental health problems relate to the built environment, including human-modified places such as homes, schools, workplaces, parks, industrial areas, farms, roads and highways. The public health relevance of the built environment requires examination. Preliminary research demonstrates the health benefits of Sustainable Communities. However, the impact of mediating and moderating factors within the built environment on health must be explored further. Given the complexity of the built environment, understanding its influence on human health requires a community-based, multilevel, interdisciplinary research approach. The authors offer recommendations, based upon a recent conference sponsored by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), for research and policy approaches, and suggest interagency research alliances for greater public health impact.
