Increased research is going on to explore the new cleaner options for the utilization of natural resources. This book aims to provide the scientific knowhow and orientation in the area of the emerging technologies for ...
The concerns relating to global warming, climate change, and increasing energy demands have led to significant research towards the development of alternative energy to substitute the fossil energy sources. Biomass-based ...
Roughly 10% of the world’s daily supply of petroleum is so thick that it cannot flow through pipelines on its own. The importance of heavy oil often defined as anything less than 20 American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity ...
Biomass mainly in the form of wood is the oldest form of energy used by humans. Biomass
generally means a relatively dry solid of natural matter that has been specifically grown or has originated as
waste or residue from ...
Pyrolysis, a first step in the biomass gasification, is the thermal decomposition of organic matter under inert atmospheric conditions, leading to the release of volatiles and formation of char. As pyrolysis is a kinetically ...
A process of conversion of solid carbonaceous fuel into combustible gas by partial combustion is known as gasification. The resulting gas, known as producer gas, is more versatile in its use than the original solid biomass. ...
Pyrolysis and gasification of biomass is considered to be the promising alternative solutions for the increase of energy demand and environmental awareness. Pyroysis process produces a variety of chemicals by limited ...
Among the different methods of energy production from biomass, gasification is considered as the most suitable option as it is a simple and economically viable process to produce thermal energy or decentralized electricity ...
In the present study, the pyrolysis of biomass is proposed by one step multi reaction apparent model. It is expressed as parallel production of bio-oil, gases and charcoal. Macro TGA of Jatropha de-oiled cake is performed ...
Biomass is a major source of fuel in many developing countries and used in cook stoves. The water boiling test or its variants are used to evaluate the performance. The evaluation is on an average basis throughout the test ...
In the present article, ASPEN Plus is used to develop a process model of the hydrogen-rich gas production through cleaning and catalytic conditioning of producer gas. The process includes producer gas cleaning using venturi ...
The aim of the present study is to demonstrate the production of hydrogen-rich fuel gas from J. curcas residue cake. A comprehensive experimental study for the production of hydrogen rich fuel gas from J. curcas residue ...
The present work comprehensively covers the literature that describes the thermochemical techniques of hydrogen production from biomass. This survey highlights the current approaches, relevant methods, technologies and ...
CFD model has been developed for the 2D axisymmetric model of an Imbert downdraft gasifier. The present Model has been validated with experimental data. The model predicts CO, hydrogen, and CO2 with precise accuracy. ...
Wavelet analysis is an emerging field of mathematics that has provided new tools and algorithms suited for the type of problems encountered in process monitoring and control. In this paper, a review is presented for the ...
A hybrid control scheme consisting of a generic model control (GMC) and a nonlinear adaptive state estimator (ASE) is designed. The ASE estimates the partially known parameters in the presence of process/predictor mismatch, ...
