Energy Policy and Opportunities for Biomedical Engineering, Economic Model for Clinical Wastes

Abstract: Energy related issues have been actively present in economic literature since the 1973 oil crisis. As early as 1865, W.S Jevons expressed his concern about the eventual depletion of coal resources in his book “The Coal Question” [4]. One of the best - known early attempts to work on the economics of exhaustible resources was made by H. Hotelling who derived a price path for non-renewable resources, known as Hotelling’s rule [5]. As Engineering Materials are energy driven, their configurations are not hazardous but rather driven and determined by precise laws of minimization of energy. This is not only true for homogenous elastic materials, but also for new composite materials, in the context of elasticity, viscoelasticity, thermos - elasticity etc. Hence the need to carry out extensive research on the nature, how, and why minimizers are reached and how they explain important phenomena such as cavitation, fracture, fatigue and damage that might provoke cost effectiveness of energy. The foregoing constitutes just one aspect of this study. Keywords: Energy Policy, Biomedical Engineering, Engineering Materials, energy driven.
