Thermal Performance and Technoeconomic Analysis of Solar-Assisted Heat Pump Dryer Integrated with Energy Storage Materials for Drying Cavendish Banana (Musa acuminata)
(Hindawi, 2024-02-02)
This study examines a novel solar-assisted heat pump dryer integrated with a thermal energy storage system using soapstone as
storage material. The dryer is investigated through experimental analysis across three operating ...
Techno-economic evaluation of transesterification processes for biodiesel production from low quality non-edible feedstocks: Process design and simulation
(ELSEVIER, 2024-06-15)
The global demand for fossil fuels has led to increased pollutant emissions and depleted fossil fuel resources. Biodiesel, a fossil fuel alternative, is widely produced via transesterification. This study assesses the ...
Eco-friendly catalyst design: Transforming volcanic lava ashes into sustainable synthesis of glycerol carbonate from glycerol in one pot solvent-free route
(Elsevier, 2025-04)
Volcanic lava ash (VLA), a natural waste from nature’s geological activities was used as a raw material for the first time to produce a series of heterogeneous catalysts via facile calcination from 300 to 900 °C. The ...
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 ...
