Fixed Bed Counter Current Gasification of Mesquite and Juniper Biomass Using Air-steam as Oxidizer Chen, Wei 1981- (2012-11-27)Thermal gasification of biomass is being considered as one of the most promising technologies for converting biomass into gaseous fuel. Here we present results of gasification, using an adiabatic bed gasifier with air, ...
-
Gordillo Ariza, Gerardo (2010-10-12)Concentrated animal feeding operations such as cattle feedlots and dairies produce a large amount of manure, cattle biomass (CB), which may lead to land, water, and air pollution if waste handling systems and storage and ...
-
Headley, William Milija (2021-12-10)As we push towards a reduction of carbon emissions without sacrificing reliability and safety, advanced applications of molten-salt technology are currently being considered for use. Many previous studies have focused on ...
-
Chavez, Denise Erin (2020-07-28)A very high-temperature, test facility was designed and constructed at the Thermal-Hydraulic Research Laboratory of Texas A&M University (TAMU) to conduct two-phase flow visualization experiments in molten salt. A ...
-
Thanapal, Siva Sankar (2012-02-14)Biomass is one of the renewable and non-conventional energy sources and it includes municipal solid wastes and animal wastes in addition to agricultural residue. Concentrated animal feeding operations produce large quantities ...
