Fast Rate Production of Biodiesel from Neem Seed Oil Using a Catalyst Made from Banana Peel Ash Loaded with Metal Oxide (Li-CaO/Fe2 (SO4)3)
(Hindawi, 2020-08-27)
Biodiesel is a possible remedy to the present toxic, finite sources and ever-diminishing crude fuels. Nonedible and locally available (Azadirachta indica) neem seed oil (NSO) as a second-generation feedstock was transformed ...
Clustering and Fuzzy Logic-Based Demand-Side Management for Solar Microgrid Operation: Case Study of Ngurudoto Microgrid, Arusha, Tanzania
(Hindawi, 2021-02-15)
Permanent electricity availability should not be taken for granted since grid sustainability and reliability are at stake when there is no balance between supply and demand. This paper employs a load balancing demand-side ...
Catalytic tar conversion and the prospective use of iron-based catalyst in the future development of biomass gasification: a review
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2020-06-27)
Biomass is a promising renewable energy source which is available globally, mostly in developing countries where access to clean and affordable energy is a critical problem. Biomass gasification is an interesting technology ...
Experimental Investigation of Soapstone and Granite Rocks as Energy-Storage Materials for Concentrated Solar Power Generation and Solar Drying Technology
(ACS Omega, 2023)
The intermittence of solar energy resource in concentrated solar power (CSP) generation and solar drying applications can be mitigated by employing thermal energy storage materials. Natural rocks are well recommended thermal ...

(University of Dar es Salaam, 2021)
Small horizontal axis wind turbine rotors with composite airfoil rotor blades were designed and
investigated in the present study in order to improve its performance in low wind speed and low
Reynolds number (Re) conditions ...
Effects of different supplementary cementitious materials on durability and mechanical properties of cement composite – Comprehensive review
(Elsevier Ltd., 2023)
Ordinary Portland cement is the highest produced cement type in the world, however its pro-
duction is high energy consumption means expensive, huge natural resource consumptive, and
creating high environmental pollution. ...
Effect of Natural Pozzolana on Physical and Mechanical Properties of Concrete
(Hindawi, 2024-02-13)
Construction industries are rapidly growing, sacking high amounts of concrete which has a highly dense microstructure with
excellent mechanical properties, more durable, and highly eco-friendly materials. Hence, many of ...
Effects of Raw and Different Calcined Bentonite on Durability and Mechanical Properties of Cement Composite Material2024
(Elsevier, 2024-02-22)
Bentonite is a natural pozzolanic material mostly composed of SiO2 and employed in cementing
materials for the reduction of cement consumption and CO2 emission besides improving perfor-
mance of cement composite material ...
Modelling and optimization of multiple replacement of supplementary cementitious materials for cement composite by response surface method.
(Elsevier Ltd., 2024-03-07)
Supplementary cementitious materials are beneficial in improving performance and lessening the cement con-
sumption with highly lessening CO2 emission. Many researchers used blast furnace slag, bentonite, and active
limestone ...
