Electrical power is stipulation of human life. Now-adays electricity is produced from number of sources like hydraulic energy, coal, steam, wind stream and nuclear power etc. Electricity generated by hydraulic power is cheapest and environment friendly. A large dam is mandatory to generate power in megawatt (MW), to build enormous dams need of large capital cost and hefty land reforms but renewable resources can be used for generation of electricity on small scale. Distribution generation (GD) can be produced by using municipal water waste after giving some chemical treatment or otherwise. A most suitable turbine for such a low head hydro power plant is Archimedes turbine. In this research a model of Archimedes Turbine s designed in Simulink MATLAB while keep in mind all geometrical parameters. A detailed scrutiny has been made on theoretical model of Archimedes turbine while considering minimal different flow rate of water and keeping drop head constant which will make easiness and robustness for design engineer. During this work we will use Archimedes turbine first time in Pakistan with municipal water for generating power and a feasibility report of Nala Tamrahi (canal) is presented while its designing different parameters will kept in mind like weather effects, operation and maintenance of installed system, how its ease to install the system, wear and tears. Second part of work consist of modeling of micro hydro power plant system (MHPPS) using an Archimedes turbine and interconnecting the output power of MHPPS to existing national grid distribution network in such a way that extra energy of MHPPS is transferred to national grid consumer's.
Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is a thermochemical depolymerization technology, also known as hydrous pyrolysis, that transforms wet biomass into biocrude and valuable chemicals at a moderate temperature (usually 200–400 °C) and high pressure (typically 10–25 MPa). In HTL, water acts as a key reactant in HTL activities. Several properties of water are substantially altered as the reaction state gets closer to the critical point of water, which can result in quick, uniform, and effective reactions. The current review covers the HTL of various feedstocks, especially lignocellulosic and high protein-containing feeds with their in-depth information of the chemical reaction mechanisms involved in the HTL. Further, this review gives insight and knowledge about the influencing factors such as biomass pretreatment, process mode, process conditions, etc., which could affect the efficiency of the hydrothermal process and biocrude productivity. In addition, the latest trends, and emerging challenges to HTL are discussed with suitable recommendations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
