TL;DR: In this article, a series of alkali-doped metal oxide catalysts were evaluated for activity in the transesterification of rapeseed oil to biodiesel using a standard 3-h test.

TL;DR: Oscillatory Flow Reversals (OFRs) as mentioned in this paper are a novel type of continuous reactor, consisting of tubes containing equally spaced orifice plate baffles, superimposed upon the net flow of the process fluid, creating flow patterns conducive to efficient heat and mass transfer, whilst maintaining plug flow.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the concepts and key developments of mixing enhancement through pulsation and oscillation and focus on more recent research using oscillations in baffled tubes or columns, which generate discrete vortices as distinct from the more random type of flow produced by the well-established pulsed plate and reciprocating plate column devices.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive survey on algal biomass resource for future, is addressed, taking into consideration the strong need for research on third generation biofuel production, and a region based database able to provide information on specific biomass production, their utilization with the respect to sectors like region, industries, transportation, etc.

TL;DR: A review of the best available technologies for recovery of waste heat is provided, ranging from heat transfer between source and sink, to novel technologies for the generation of electricity and refrigeration.
