Biomass waste can be characterized to identify its use in bio-energy production. This study aimed to characterize Mbwazirume peel (MP) and Nakyinyika peel (NP) biomass using various analyses such as proximate and ultimate, TGA, FT-IR, AAS, and SEM-EDS. This w...
2019 | Indian Journal of Engineering | Pp. 60-79
A three-fold design and fabrication of insulation testing rig (ITR) has been demonstrated in this research work via geometric (or architectural) design, stress design and thermal design. A pilot experiment on measurement of external and internal wall and flui...
