This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The industrial ecology concepts and tools provide potential solutions towards the development of a more sustainable world. Material flow analysis, an industrial ecology tool, is used to evaluate losses during the material life cycle and to provide measures for the more efficient use of resources. This book describes the basic theory and concepts of the dynamic material flow analysis and their application in practical case studies. The case studies address environmental, waste, and resources management and cover the intentional and non-intentional use of materials. It explains how to use MATLAB and SIMULINK in the modeling and the implementation of the dynamic MFA case studies.
