Calculating the Calorific value of biomass from its elemental states
(Makerere University, 2020-12-29)Biomass is an indirect source of solar energy and its renewable in nature. During the numerical simulations in thermo-chemical conversion systems for biomass, its calorific value is very vital. Over the years, a number of ... -
Production of Bio-Crude Oil by Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Sugarcane Bagasse
(Makerere University, 2022-11-28)This research was towards obtaining a bio-crude oil from a sugarcane bagasse feedstock by hydrothermal liquefaction, a hydrothermal processing method that utilises high temperature and high pressure conditions to turn ... -
Thermodynamic equilibrium modelling of producer gas from gasification of maize cob
(Makerere University, 2022-12)Maize cob biomass is an abundant refuse in the predominantly agricultural Ugandan economy. Gasification is a thermochemical process that converts biomass into fuel gas. In this report, MATLAB was used to forecast percentage ...
