Variables affecting the in situ transesterification of microalgae lipids
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of important reaction variables on the production of biodiesel from non-edible microalgae lipids, using the acid-catalysed in situ transesterification process was described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anaerobic digestion of microalgae residues resulting from the biodiesel production process
TL;DR: The recovery of methane from post transesterified microalgae residues has the potential to improve the renewability of the ‘microalgae biomass to biodiesel’ conversion process as well as reduce its cost and environmental impact.
Journal ArticleDOI
Second law analysis of combined heat and mass transfer in internal and external flows
C.G. Carrington,Zhifa Sun +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that unless the intensive form of the Gibbs equation is used, in recognition of the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium, errors arise in this analysis, which involve the incorrect use of the absolute mass flux instead of the diffusion flux and the appearance of a spurious coupling term between heat and mass transfer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Second law analysis of combined heat and mass transfer phenomena
C.G. Carrington,Zhifa Sun +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived expressions for entropy generation due to heat and mass transfer processes in a multi-component fluid and showed that the entropy contribution is zero unless the thermal diffusion and diffusion-thenno effects are explicitly included in the theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic Modelling of the Wood Stack in a Wood Drying Kiln
TL;DR: In this article, a dynamic, kiln-wide drying model is described, which solves the unsteady state mass, momentum and energy balance equations for both the air flow and the wood boards in drying three types of stack: normal stack, aligned stack and staggered stack.
