In this book, the authors are interested in the design and the
implementation of a generator test bench that works with a
diesel-biodiesel mixture. The goal is to introduce and test the
effect of biodiesel addition in carburant. To do this, the authors
started their work through the development of an appropriate
design. After completing the preparation of the test bench, the
authors installed all the necessary instruments. With this
equipment, the overall characteristics of the generator running for
the first time with diesel and then with different proportions of
biodiesel, capping at 50% were studied. This work is of great
importance because it solves the ecological problems mainly related
to the toxic rejection of conventional fuels.
Industrial Piping and Equipment Estimation Manual delivers an
invaluable resource for day-to-day operations. Packed full of
worksheets covering combined and simple cycle power plants,
refineries, compressor stations, ethanol, hydrogen and biomass
plants, this reference helps the construction engineer and
estimator learn how to create bids where scope and quantity
differences can be identified and project impacts estimated.
Beginning with an introduction devoted to labor, productivity
measurement, estimating methods, and factors affecting construction
labor productivity and impacts of overtime, the author then
explores equipment through hands-on estimation tables, including
sample estimates and statistical applications. The book rounds out
with a glossary, abbreviations list, formulas, and metric/standard
conversions, and is an ideal reference for estimators, engineers
and managers with the level of detail and equipment breakdown
necessary for today's industrial operations.
Hydrogen is one of the most promising next-generation fuels. It has
the highest energy content per unit weight of any known fuel and in
comparison to the other known natural gases it is environmentally
safe - in fact, its combustion results only in water vapour and
energy. This book provides an overview of worldwide research in the
use of hydrogen in energy development, its most innovative methods
of production and the various steps necessary for the optimization
of this product. Topics covered include structured catalysts for
process intensification in hydrogen production by reforming
processes; bimetallic supported catalysts for hydrocarbons and
alcohols reforming reactions; catalysts for hydrogen production
from renewable raw materials, by-products and waste; Ni and
Cu-based catalysts for methanol and ethanol reforming; transition
metal catalysts for hydrogen production by low temperature steam
reforming of methane; supercritical water gasification of biomass
to produce hydrogen; biofuel starting materials for hydrogen
production; modelling of fixed bed membrane reactors for ultrapure
hydrogen production; hydrogen production using micro membrane
reactors; perovskite membrane reactors; polymeric membrane
materials for hydrogen separation; industrial membranes for
hydrogen separation; multifunctional hybrid sorption-enhanced
membrane reactors; carbon based membranes; and separation of
hydrogen isotopes by cryogenic distillation. Hydrogen Production,
Separation and Purification for Energy is essential reading for
researchers in academia and industry working in energy engineering.
