Nigeria is a developing country with an insufficient supply of energy to meet the continuously
growing demand. However, there are several biomass resources available within the …

Biomass has a high potential to contribute towards resolving the energy deficit. Processing
biomass into solid fuels enhances its use in various bioenergy conversion technologies. The …

This paper defines the wear process of rollers made of 20Cr4. Rollers with a diameter of
1000 mm were installed in a roller press used for the production of drop-shaped briquettes …

The screw briquetting machine has problems which have been attributed to poor design.
There are limited theoretical studies targeted at solving problems of biomass briquetting …

The article is dedicated to the study of the influence of auger wear on the parameters of the
dehydration process of municipal solid waste in the garbage truck. An improved …

Highlights•Wear mechanism of the ring die module is mainly the abrasive wear of micro-
cutting.•Wear depth and total wear depth value of each step is calculated by ANSYS …

The paper presents research on the process of densifying rye-wheat straw for its use in
producing mouldable biofuel. The straw used in the research is a waste material from a farm …

Assessing the wear of components in a single-screw extruder and its condition during the
process is difficult. In this context, wavelet analysis was used to investigate the wear …

The screw extruder briquetting die is critical to determining the quality of biomass briquettes.
In this study, mathematical models were developed to study pressure distribution along the …

The article is dedicated to the study of the influence of the surface hardness of the auger on
its wear during dehydration of solid waste in the garbage truck. Using the method of …
