Stability Analysis of Mahua Seed and Waste Polystyrene Co-pyrolytic Oil
Abstract: Biomass pyrolytic oil is a complex mixture of organic compounds and obtained in a non-equilibrium state. Hence, the physical properties of bio-oil such as calorific value, viscosity, pH, density, flow ability and chemical compositions vary during storage. In this study, co-pyrolysis of Mahua seed was performed with waste polystyrene and studied the fuel properties and composition. The co-pyrolytic oil was produced at 2:1 ratio of seed to waste polystyrene using …

Energy Conservation with use of Cool Roof Coatings
Abstract: Regions with hot and dry climate often experience very high levels of solar radiation, high ambient temperatures and relatively low specific humidity. The roofs of buildings in such areas are always exposed to Sun for long duration during the daytime. Solar radiation is responsible for heat transfer through the building roof. Actually, Solar radiation heat the roof which in turn reradiates the heat onto the ceiling and finally on to …

CFD-subset-FVM-based MATLAB-simulation of Heat Transfer in High Grade Cold Storage Augmenting Cryogenic Energy Storage System by Circulating Natural Gas as Working Fluid : Conceptual Review
Abstract: Abstract. Cryogenic Energy Storage (CES) improves power grid with renewable intermittent power sources. In CES, off-peak excess electricity liquefies air or natural gas. Cryogen is stored in large dewar tanks for long periods of time. Whenever electricity need is in peak, work is recovered from cryogen by a power cycle using waste heat. Many researchers focus on liquid air energy storage (LAES). But, natural gas is promising working fluid for …

Enhanced Recovery by Hydrotropes in Oxidized Coal Flotation
Abstract: AbstractSo far flotation proved its best in improving the concentration of low grade fines by recovering the maximum with the use of advanced flotation reagents. In this context we propose the process optimization with the use of hydrotropes as activators in the coal flotation process. It is observed that sodium benzoate a known hydrotrope helped in increasing the recovery of the concentrate percent from 12.8% at plant condition to 31% …
