Third-generation biofuel produced from microalgae is a viable solution to global energy insecurity and climate change. Despite an annual current global algal biomass production of 38 million litres, commercialization confronts significant economic challenges. However, cost minimization strategies, particularly for microalgae cultivation, have largely been excluded from recent studies. Ther...... hiện toàn bộ
Dynamic Heat Transfer Analysis on the New U-type Medium-Deep Borehole Ground Heat ExchangerFrontiers in Energy Research - Tập 10
Chunmin Guan, Zhaohong Fang, Wenke Zhang, Haiqing Yao, Yi Man, Mingzhi Yu
The U-type medium-deep borehole ground heat exchanger BGHE is a new form of utilization of geothermal energy and there has been relatively little research on it. This paper introduces the structure and working principle of the BGHE. The energy control equations based on the characteristics of the heat transfer model are established creatively. The initial and boundary conditions of the cir...... hiện toàn bộ
Underutilized Lignocellulosic Waste as Sources of Feedstock for Biofuel Production in Developing CountriesFrontiers in Energy Research - Tập 10
Adewale Adewuyi
The need for a reliable and sustainable energy source, stability in energy price and solution to environmental challenges of fossil fuel has led to searching for an alternative energy source to fossil fuel. Several alternative sources have been developed over time, but they are limited in one form or another. However, biofuel such as bioethanol has been identified as a superb alternative w...... hiện toàn bộ
