Experimental Study of a Lab Scale Hybrid Fixed Bed Gasifier
(Science Publishing Group, 2020-02-04)
Thermo-chemical conversion technologies (incineration, gasification and pyrolysis) have emerged as potential technologies for municipal solid waste management (MSWM). This is happening due to the increase of the need for ...
Water Boiling Test of carbonized briquettes produced from charcoal fines using African Elemi (Canarium schweinfurthii) resin as an organic binder
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2021-10-10)
The study evaluated carbonized briquettes produced from charcoal fines using African Elemi (Canarium schweinfurthii) resin as a binder. Briquette samples (B25, B30, B35, B40) with the ratio of charcoal fines:binder of 3:1, ...
Simulation and performance analysis of municipal solid waste gasification in a novel hybrid fixed bed gasifier using Aspen plus
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2020-08-27)
Thermochemical conversion technologies (incineration, gasification, and pyrolysis) have emerged
as potential technologies for municipal solid waste management. Incineration is the most common
thermo-chemical technology ...
Production of carbonized briquettes from charcoal fines using African Elemi (Canarium Schweinfurthii) resin as an organic binder
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2021-09-25)
This study investigated the use of African Elemi (Canarium Schweinfurthii) resin as a binder for the production of carbonized briquettes from charcoal fines. The binder and charcoal fines were characterized through proximate ...
A Review on Computational Fluid Dynamics Applications in the Design and Optimization of Crossflow Hydro Turbines
(Hindawi, 2021-10-15)
In recent years, advances in using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software have greatly increased due to its great potential to
save time in the design process compared to experimental testing for data acquisition. ...
Catalytic supercritical water gasification of biomass waste using iron-doped alkaline earth catalysts
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2022-05-18)
The objective of this study is to optimise the process of supercritical water gasification of rice husk biomass utilising a low-cost catalyst made from alkaline-earth materials. The interactions between catalyst loading ...
Simulation and optimisation of the pyrolysis of rice husk: Preliminary assessment for gasification applications
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-09)
Thermochemical conversion of biomass into useful products is a promising route to harness biofuels. This process is clean, renewable and can reduce the use of fossil fuel. In this study, SuperPro Designer (SPD) software ...
Comprehensive assessment of heat pump dryers for drying agricultural products
(Wiley Online Library, 2022-11-22)
Fruits and vegetables are agricultural products that require preservation to enhance and protect shelf life, encapsulate natural flavour, and retain nutritional content. Globally, agricultural products are preserved by a ...
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 ...
Rheological and Physicochemical Analysis of Nonedible Oils Used for Biodiesel Production
(ACS Omega, 2022-10-13)
Rheological and physicochemical characteristics of edible oils used for biodiesel production are well established; nonetheless, the rheological and physicochemical characteristics of nonedible oils are yet to be established. ...
