“…This might be the increase of density for the higher compaction pressure briquette reduces the air within the product, this low porosity will restrict the mass and heat transfer during combustion. The same relationship was also reported by Pandey et al [37] for pine needle briquettes and Chuangcharoen [38] for agriculture waste briquettes. They mentioned that different combustion rate has been caused by the distinct fixed carbon in the feedstock, briquette can be burn easily and quickly at lower fixed carbon and led to increasing the combustion rate.…”

Solid fuel from the briquetting of ulin wood and gelam wood residue was investigated in this work. The effect of compaction pressure (10, 12, and 15 MPa), and briquette formulation were investigated. The ulin wood and gelam wood were blended in the mixing ratios of 100:0, 70:30, 50:50, 30:70, and 0:100, respectively. The size of the particle was fixed of 50 µm. The ulin wood and gelam wood were carbonized under fixed temperature (500 o C), and time (120 min). The gelatinized binder (cassava starch) was 20% of the total briquettes weight. The densification was carried out using the briquetting machine (pistonpress type) laboratory scale. The compaction pressure briquette had a significant effect on some characteristics of briquette (ash content, moisture content, volatile matter, bulk density, and combustion rate). An increasing in compaction pressure briquettes resulted in low ash content, moisture content, and volatile matter but the reverse is the case for bulk density. However, the mixing ratio slightly affected. High combustion rate (3.18 g/min) achieved at low compaction pressure (10 MPa).

“…Investigation was conducted utilizing feedstock from different origin such as Poland (Berdychowski et al 2021 ), Colombia (Juan and Gonz 2020 ), India (Dhote et al 2020 ; Rajput et al 2020 ), Mississippi (Thapa and Engelken 2019 ), Korea (Park et al 2020 ), Philippines (Navalta et al 2020 ), Nigeria (Ajimotokan et al 2019b ), China (Xia et al 2019 ) South Africa (Shuma and Madyira 2019 ), and Poland (Czeka et al 2018 ) among other origins. Some of feedstock reported recently include cashew nutshell (Ifa et al 2020 ; Chungcharoen and Srisang 2020 ), sugar cane bagasse (John et al 2020 ; Setter et al 2020 ), sawdust (Ajimotokan et al 2019b ; Yang et al 2021 ; Afsal et al 2020 ; Wang et al 2020 ), rice husk and rice brain (John et al 2020 ; Faverzani et al 2020 ), palm kernel shell and oil palm fruit bunch (Cabrales et al 2020 ; Osei et al 2020 ), citrus peel (Faverzani et al 2020 ), Sitka Spruce and olive pit (Trubetskaya et al 2019 ), miscanthus, wheat, barley (Mitchell et al 2020 ), areca nut (Chungcharoen and Srisang 2020 ), mushroom(Rafael et al 2020 ) and biomass charcoal-based product (Ajimotokan et al 2019b ; Lubwama et al 2020 ; Jelonek et al 2020 ; Cong et al 2020 ). Generally, government policy regarding renewable energy, greenhouse emission, and energy demand greatly determines the growth of solid biomass fuels in any region (Bajwa et al 2018 ).…”

The global demand for sustainable energy is increasing due to urbanization, industrialization, population, and developmental growth. Transforming the large quantities of biomass resources such as agro-residues/wastes could raise the energy supply and promote energy mix. Residues of biomass instituted in the rural and industrial centers are enormous, and poor management of these residues results in several indescribable environmental threats. The energy potential of these residues can provide job opportunities and income for nations. The generation and utilization of dissimilar biomass as feedstock for energy production via densification could advance the diversity of energy crops. An increase in renewable and clean energy demand will likely increase the request for biomass residues for renewable energy generation via densification. This will reduce the environmental challenges associated with burning and dumping of these residues in an open field. Densification is the process of compacting particles together through the application of pressure to form solid fuels. Marketable densification is usually carried out using conventional pressure-driven processes such as extrusion, screw press, piston type, hydraulic piston press, roller press, and pallet press (ring and flat die). Based on compaction, densification methods can be categorized into high-pressure, medium-pressure, and low-pressure compactions. The common densification processes are briquetting, pelletizing, bailing, and cubing. They manufacture solid fuel with desirable fuel characteristics—physical, mechanical, chemical, thermal, and combustion characteristics. Fuel briquettes and pellets have numerous advantages and applications both in domestic and industrial settings. However, for biomass to be rationally and efficiently utilized as solid fuel, it must be characterized to determine its fuel properties. Herein, an overview of the densification of biomass residues as a source of sustainable energy is presented.

Mathematical model of the mechanism of the "alpha" type Stirling engine for operation in the timber industry complex

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article discusses the multi-criteria parameterization of the crank-slider group of the Stirling engine type "alpha". The dependences of the displacement of the piston and the displacer are obtained, taking into account a number of variable geometric parameters. The resulting equation of movement of the piston from displacement of the propellant is composed of a crankshaft angle, which will allow to obtain a numerical model simulation of the crank-slider group that will significantly reduce the time of numerical calculations. The dependence of the torque on the crankshaft with known pressures on the piston and the displacer is obtained. This study will eventually allow us to determine the optimal parameters of the designed steering engine, depending on the power and operating temperatures. This will allow us to design an engine for use in the timber industry (use of logging and woodworking waste as fuel). Effective use for energy generation is an urgent task of the forest complex. Currently, obtained torque equation will allow us to study the working process of the engine when solving the gas-dynamic problem of cyclic flow of gas from the cavity of the piston cylinder to the cavity of the displacer cylinder and back.
