Journal ArticleDOI
Thermodynamics of moisture sorption in alfalfa pellets
TL;DR: In this paper, experimental data on sorption isotherms of alfalfa pellets were used to determine the thermodynamic functions (differential heat of sorption, spreading pressure, net integral enthalpy and entropy) of the pellets.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of agricultural crop residue supply in Canada for cellulosic ethanol production
Xue Li,Edmund Mupondwa,Satya Panigrahi,Lope G. Tabil,Shahab Sokhansanj,Shahab Sokhansanj,Mark Stumborg +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the availability of agricultural crop residue feedstocks in Canada for cellulosic ethanol production was estimated by using crop production and livestock data from Statistics Canada for a 10-year period (2001-2010).
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct measures of mechanical energy for knife mill size reduction of switchgrass, wheat straw, and corn stover
Venkata S.P. Bitra,Alvin R. Womac,C. Igathinathane,Petre I. Miu,Yuechuan T. Yang,David R. Smith,Nehru Chevanan,Shahab Sokhansanj +7 more
TL;DR: Size reduction mechanical energy was directly measured for switchgrass, wheat straw, and corn stover in an instrumented knife mill to help prepare the feed material for subsequent fine grinding operations and designing new mills.
Journal ArticleDOI
A life cycle evaluation of wood pellet gasification for district heating in British Columbia.
TL;DR: Between wood pellets and wood waste, wood pellets appear to be the better choice as it requires less primary energy and has a much lower impact on the local air quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flowability parameters for chopped switchgrass, wheat straw and corn stover
TL;DR: A direct shear cell to measure the shear strength and flow properties of chopped switchgrass, wheat straw, and corn stover was designed, fabricated, and tested as discussed by the authors, and the measured angle of internal friction and cohesive strength indicated that chopped biomass cannot be handled by gravity alone.
