Energy balance development in a cogeneration with biogas for H2 production by catalytic reforming.
The main object of this research was carry out technically a mass and energy balances in an energy cogeneration plant with cattle excrement gas a fuel composed by biogas + natural gas. This fuel was [...]
Extracting unburnt coal from black coal fly ash
Black-coal fly ash from Kosice Power Plant in Slovakia contains between 22 and 25 % of unburnt coal, which is , strictly speaking, a useful component. Studying optimal separation methods of unburnt coal from the [...]
Bacterial desulphurization of brown coals
The aim of this paper is the suitability of evaluation of bacterial leaching applied on the brown coals samples from mine CSA Most. The results of this work show that using clean bacterial cultures of [...]
Amorphous Diamond Solar Cells
Silicon based photo voltaic panels are the mainstream of solar cells. However, there are intrinsic limitations of such devices for replacing power plants. The low conversion efficiency (
Integrated Multistage Supercritical Technology to Produce High Quality Vegetable Oil and Biofuels
A multi-step integrated technology to produce high quality vegetable oils and biodiesel fuels is proposed, documented for technical and economic feasibility, and preliminarily designed. The first step of the integrated system consists of soybean oil [...]
8nm cerium oxide as a fuel additive for fuel consumption and emissions reduction
8nm cerium oxide is surface functionalised for diesel compatibility and added to fuel at a level of 5-8ppm. Static engine tests and large scale field trials show that engine fuel consumption is reduced by 5-8% [...]
Effect of Surface Hydration and Interfusion of Suspended Silica Nanoparticles on Heat Transfer
Nanofluid suspensions enhance thermal conductivity and the heat transfer. The authors have previously shown that the Critical Heat Flux (CHF) of NiChrome wire in a silica nanofluid can be increased by 200% compared to conventional [...]
