Strength properties and calorific values of sawdust-briquettes as wood-residue energy generation source from tropical hardwoods of different densities

Biomass and Bioenergy, 2016
Agricultural and wood residues are principal energy sources for domestic and industrial activities. However, they are often hardly utilized. Conventional wood material for briquetting optimizes combustion and efficient power production. The relationship between strength properties, resistance to humidity and calorific values of sawdust-briquettes from ...

Variation of basic density, calorific value and volumetric shrinkage within tree height and tree age of Ugandan grown Eucalyptus grandis wood

Journal of Forestry Research, 2020
Insufficient knowledge on Ugandan grown Eucalyptus grandis W. Hill ex Maiden wood properties, high demand, and processing challenges led to a study into its physical properties. We obtained the variation of basic density (BD), calorific value (CV) and volumetric shrinkage (VS) within tree height and tree-age of E. grandis, and its appropriate use based

Development of a Correlation for the Estimation of the Higher Calorific Value of Diesel, Based on Its Kinematic Viscosity and Density

Advanced Science, Engineering and Medicine, 2020
Diesel is extensively used as a fuel in prime movers, boilers and other power generation plants. The higher calorific value of diesel gives a measure of the effective chemical energy stored in a unit amount of fuel. The higher calorific value is required for the efficiency calculation of a machine and hence it directly affects the estimation of the ...

Calorific value of Prosopis africana and Balanites aegyptiaca wood: Relationships with tree growth, wood density and rainfall gradients in the West African Sahel

Biomass and Bioenergy, 2011
Abstract Prosopis africana and Balanites aegyptiaca are native tree species in the West African Sahel and provide wood for fuel, construction and other essential products. A provenance/progeny test of each species was established at one relatively dry site in Niger, and evaluated at 13 years. Gross calorific value of the wood was determined for a

Experimental investigation on density, kinematic viscosity and calorific value of sunflower oil - pentanol binary biofuel blend

ESTEEM Academic Journal
The usage of fossil fuels as the main energy source has become a serious problem due to concerns over environmental pollution and the rising fuel prices worldwide. Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO), such as Pure Sunflower Oil (PSO), is a possible alternative biofuel to petroleum diesel fuel because of its physical qualities identical to fossil fuel. However,

The role of termites in an equatorial rain forest ecosystem of West Malaysia

Oecologia, 1976
1. Density of nests, population number, biomass, nitrogen and carbon content, calorific content and respiration rate of termites were studied at Pasoh Forest, West Malaysia mainly with four dominant species of epigeous nest builders, Macrotermes carbonarius, Dicuspiditermes nemorosus type-a, type-b and Homallotermes foraminifer, to reveal their role in

Characterization, Compositional Analysis and Calorific Value of Terminalia ivorensis Sawdust, Corncob and Low-Density Polyethylene as Potential Blended Feedstock for Bio-oil Production

Chiang Mai Journal of Science
Biomass presents a promising alternative to fossil fuels, and its potential can be further enhanced through co-pyrolysis with plastics or polymers. This study investigates the feasibility of co-pyrolyzing corncob, sawdust, and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) for bio-oil production.

THE DETERMINATION OF THE EFFECTS OF VISCOSITY, DENSITY AND FLASH POINT PROPERTIES ON CALORIFIC VALUE IN METHYL ESTERS

2016
Parameters as a fuel economy, exhaust emissions, enough yield taking from using alternative fuels in vehicles are dependent directly properties of using alternative fuel. Therefore, properties of using alternative fuels need to be close or suitable to those of self fuels in vehicles. So, properties of alternative fuels need to be determined.
