From an energy point of view, drying poultry manure contributes to its application as
biomass in the generation of thermal energy. This study aimed to investigate the chemical …

Air convective dehydration was carried out at a laboratory scale using two fruits of cultivars
produced in different regions of Portugal: Bravo de Esmolfe apple, from Beiras province, and …

Solid waste from acai berry (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) processing plants has gained attraction
as biomass with great source of thermal energy. To increase the efficiency of …

Abstract Acai berry waste (13.40 mm diameter, 1250 kg m− 3 specific mass, 1850 J kg− 1°
C− 1 specific heat and 0.91 sphericity) is a large-scale agroindustrial by-product that can be …

Mathematical modeling and estimation of moisture transport properties in drying of acai
biomass were done in this work. The first approach consisted of applying the diffusive model …

High moisture in Chinese medicine residues (CMR) can decrease the energy efficiency of
thermochemical conversion, which necessitates the pre-drying. Owing to the complex …

In this study, a numerical approach is employed to investigate the flow and energy
transitions characteristics of particles in a horizontal drum equipped with rotational flat blade …

The drying performance of typical solid wastes (cotton fabrics and plastic debris) in nuclear
power plants was evaluated in a bench-scale microwave-combined hot air setup (air …

Soot sludge is a waste stream formed in the fuel oil gasification of formic acid and hydrogen
peroxide production. The soot sludge has a high moisture content (95%) and is presently …

This work focuses on revealing the chemical reaction equilibrium behaviors of gas–liquid–
solid heterogeneous phases in an oxy-thermal carbide furnace. From a CaC2 formation …
