Anaerobic digestion characteristics of lignocellulosic feedstocks under solid-state stratified bed mode of fermentation
Lignocellulosic feedstocks have become potential materials for conversion to biomethane but possess varying compositions and densities (18-50kg/m3), requiring alternative approaches for evolving sustainable anaerobic ... -
Climate-resilience of Dwellings in Transition and the Thermal Behaviour of their Inhabitants
Thermal comfort is critical for the well-being, and productivity of the inhabitants. Traditional dwellings constructed using local, low-carbon materials have for decades provided comfortable indoor thermal environment to ... -
Exploring End-of-Life Photovoltaic (PV) Panel as a Building Material: A Case of Crystalline Silicon PV
The renewable energy share in the energy mix worldwide is rising sharply to mitigate climate change, with Solar Photovoltaics (PV) carrying a large share of 3.6%. However, the end-of-life (EoL) management of decommissioned ... -
Investigations into the Thermo-chemical Conversion of Simulated Refuse Derived Fuels with Different Plastic Contents
The burgeoning problem of municipal waste generation along with its disposal problem has urged the development of sustainable waste management practices such as waste-to-energy conversion. Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) represents ... -
Low Head Hydraulic Pumping – Design, Simulation, and Field Validation of Ram and Turbine Pump in Indian River Basin
Water energy is essential for economic expansion and human development. Social progress and economic growth depend on meeting water energy needs sustainably. The use of non renewable energy sources for pumping water to ... -
Methanol Synthesis from Simulated Bio-syngas: Experimental and Modeling Studies
Methanol is increasingly being considered as an alternative fuel due to its potential to reduce environmental pollution and its ability to be used directly in internal combustion engines without any engine modification. ... -
Thermochemical conversion of biomass – single particle and packed bed: Experimental and Numerical Studies
The current work uses experimental and numerical techniques to analyze the thermochemical conversion of a single biomass particle exposed to various reactive environments – varying temperatures and O2, CO2 and H2O ...
