Master's Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Engineering - Chemical Engineering, Addis Ababa University, language: English, abstract: Lignocellulosic materials (eg.Prosopis juliflora) can be utilized to produce ethanol, a promising alternative energy source for the limited crude oil. This study involved optimisation of acid hydrolysis in ethanol production from prosopis juliflora. The conversion of prosopis juliflora to ethanol can be achieved mainly by three process steps: pretreatment of prosopis juliflora wood to remove lignin and hemicellulose, acid hydrolysis of pretreated prosopis juliflora to convert cellulose into reducing sugar(glucose) and fermentation of the sugars to ethanol...

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject Engineering - Chemical Engineering, grade: A, Bahir Dar University (Engineering Faculity), course: Chemical Engineering, language: English, abstract: Abstract Main problem in air drying unit is the adsorption and regeneration time. In a dryer adsorption continues for eight hours, after which the desiccant becomes saturated and cannot adsorb further moisture. In this study different types of desiccants are used. Instead of silica gel, activated alumina, zeolite, molecular sieves, activated carbon were used. Membrane dryer are used to solve our regeneration problem. Therefore membrane air dryer is more optimum for commercial processes than the other different dryers. Membrane dryer can be used for 24 hours for one week, so there is no need to standby this equipment. The construction and operation cost of membrane dryer is too simple and can also be used in hazardous condition. Keywords: Adsorption time, Regeneration time, Activated carbon, Membrane dryer
This book focuses on various challenges, solutions, and emerging technologies in the operation, control, design, optimization, and protection of microgrids in the presence of hybrid renewable energy sources and electric vehicles. This book provides an insight into the potential applications and recent development of different types of renewable energy systems including AC/DC microgrids, RES integration issues with the grid, electric vehicle technology, etc. The book serves as an interdisciplinary platform for the audience working in the focused area to access information related to energy management, modeling, and control. It covers fundamental knowledge, design, mathematical modeling, applications, and practical issues with sufficient design problems and case studies with detailed planning aspects. This book will serve as a guide for researchers, academicians, practicing engineers, professionals, and scientists, as well as for graduate and postgraduate students working in the area of various applications of RES, Electric Vehicles, and AC/DC Microgrid.
Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2013 in the subject Engineering - Chemical Engineering, , course: Chemical Engineering, language: English, abstract: There is a lot of wastage of calcium chloride going on daily and lot of valuable resources are being wasted. If this continues and any solution is not provided then this problem can prove to be very vital for the industry. Based on this study we look forward to design a major project based on recovery of calcium chloride, which will be fruitful to the industry to solve this setback and hence will be profit making concept. The focus on recovery of calcium chloride and minimizing the problem can lead to significant cost savings and ind...
The subject of this book is the basics of chemistry that "want" electrons to form chemical bonds. Covalent bonds are generally represented by "lines" in structural formulas in organic chemistry. A single line of a single bond represents an "electron pair." Organic chemistry textbooks use arrows to indicate the flow of electrons to represent the creation or disappearance of bonds between atoms. There are electron-rich atoms and electron-poor atoms, which are donors (nucleophiles) and acceptors (electrophiles), respectively. Protonated ions and metal complexes form "coordination bonds." An electron pair (i.e., two electrons) is given from one atom (Lewis base, coordinating atom) to another ato...
