1. DEVELOPMENT AND HEAT TRANSFER SIMULATION OF EPOXIDIZED JATROPHA BIOLUBRICANT FOR SPARK IGNITION ENGINES
ABSTRACT
Vegetable oils need to be chemically modified before being used for biolubricant production for internal combustion engines applications. One of the most effective chemical modifications for vegetable oils is epoxidation of its double bonds. In this work, Crude Jatropha oil (CJ... Read More
2. EFFECT OF BINDERS ON THE PROPERTIES OF COAL BRIQUETTE BLENDS PRODUCED WITH DIFFERENT BIOMASSES
ABSTRACT
The production and characterization of briquettes from mixtures of coal, corn cob and rice husk has been carried out. The briquette samples were produced by blending varying compositions of coal and rice husk, also coal and corn cob at the ratios of 100:0, 80:20, 60:40, 40:60,... Read More
