Transesterification of Waste Cooking Oil: Kinetic Study and Reactive Flow Analysis

Abstract Homogenous catalyst transesterification of biofuel into a biodiesel is a multiple,

reversible reactions process. It is steered by several parameters including residence time,
the reactants quality, proportions, state of mixing, as well as...

Experiences from Oxy-fuel Combustion of Bituminous Coal in a 150 kWth Circulating Fluidized
Bed Pilot Facility

Abstract The oxy-fuel combustion in a circulating fluidized bed was investigated in a 150
kWth pilot facility. A mixture of oxygen and recirculated flue gas was used for the
combustion of bituminous coal. The experiments were set to observe the...

Optimization of Time Requirement for Rapid Mixing During Coagulation Using a Photometric
Dispersion Analyzer

Abstract Coagulation involves the rapid mixing of chemicals with raw water to facilitate
particle destabilization. This study used a photometric dispersion analyzer (PDA) coupled
to a jar stirrer to monitor kinetics during the optimization of alum....
