An Advanced Solar-Powered Rotary Solid Adsorption Refrigerator with High Performance
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)In this paper, according to practical consideration, a new solar powered rotary solid adsorption refrigerator system adopting activated carbon fibre + ethanol as its adsorption pair has been designed with higher performance. ... -
Assessing Maturity in Sweet Sorghum Hybrids and its Role in Daily Biomass Supply
(2012-07-16)Sweet sorghum is a highly versatile C4 grass noted for its improved drought tolerance and water use efficiency relative to sugarcane. Sweet sorghum is well suited for ethanol production due to a rapid growth rate, high ... -
Crop Production Variability and U.S. Ethanol Mandates
(2014-07-08)U.S. agricultural commodity prices have been volatile in recent years, attributed to many factors, including renewable fuel standard mandates (RFS). While the RFS is legislatively able to be altered, the mandate largely ... -
Designer Sorghum Combining the High Digestibility and Waxy Grain Traits of Sorghum for Improved Nutrition Bioethanol Beer Feed and Food Products
(2012-07-16)Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L). Moench) is used for human consumption in parts of Africa and Asia and as an animal feed mainly in the U.S. Though sorghum grain contains higher amounts of protein than other cereal grains such ... -
Economic feasibility of ethanol production from sweet sorghum juice in Texas
(2009-05-15)Environmental and political concerns centered on energy use from gasoline have led to a great deal of research on ethanol production. The goal of this thesis is to determine if it is profitable to produce ethanol in Texas ... -
Effect of Ethanol on the Oxidative Reactivity of Gasoline Direct Injection Particulate
(2017-07-24)Exhaust from vehicles is one of the leading contributors of particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere. PM has been shown to be carcinogenic and to pose a significant risk to human health. Therefore, continuously stricter ... -
Effects of the Developmental Teratogens Ethanol and Nicotine on Long Noncoding RNA Expression in Mouse Fetal Neural Stem Cells of the Cortex
(2016-07-28)Research on long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) has increased significantly over the past few decades. However, investigation of lncRNA continues to lag behind that of other noncoding RNAs species like microRNA (miRNA). One ... -
Impact of ethanol expansion on the cattle feeding industry
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)The U.S. has a history of producing surplus corn, but the current and projected growth in ethanol production combined with strong feed and export demand is causing an overall increase in corn utilization. Although livestock ... -
Life Cycle Analysis for a Technical, Environmental and Economic Comparison between Corn and Shale Gas Ethanol
(2016-12-08)Biogenic ethanol from corn has proven effective as an oxygenate that improves gasoline engine performance. However, the US Renewable Fuel Portfolio legislation was written before shale gas became a huge technically recoverable ... -
Reaction Rate Measurement of C2H5OH→C2H4+H2O During Ethanol Pyrolysis Using H2O Time History Measurements Behind Reflected Shock Waves
(2018-07-05)The thermal decomposition of ethanol has been studied under pyrolytic conditions behind reflected shock waves in the 1250 to 1677 K temperature range, at an average pressure of 1.31 atm for a mixture highly diluted in Ar. ... -
Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation of Dry-grind Highly Digestible Grain Sorghum Lines for Ethanol Production
(2010-07-14)The potential of high digestible grain sorghum (HDGS) with a modified starch protein endosperm matrix to replace corn in ethanol production was investigated using dry grind simultaneous saccharification and fermentation ... -
Sugar Stability of Sweet Sorghum Exposed to Climate Controlled and Ambient Storage Conditions
(2014-08-22)Historically, crop based ethanol has predominantly been achieved in the United States through starch-based and sugar-based conversions. With corn being one of the leading food and feed crops in the United States, and ...
