Key prospects and major development of hydrogen and bioethanol production

Muhammad Usman. Khan et al.

Summary: The production of bioethanol from renewable lignocellulosic waste can economically reduce the world's dependency on fossils and the net emission of carbon dioxide. This paper focuses on the benefits and status of bioethanol production technologies, particularly in Pakistan. Pakistan heavily relies on traditional approaches for energy production, but the country faces severe energy crisis and must explore alternative sources such as biomass and solar energy. Pakistan has abundant renewable biomass resources for bioethanol and electricity production. However, the current production volume of bioethanol from sugarcane bagasse is low. To boost bioethanol production, pretreatment, hydrolysis, fermentation, and distillation processes can be employed. It is recommended to enhance research and development capacities, promote integrated bioethanol production at agricultural farms, and cultivate bioethanol-related manpower in Pakistan.

EXERGY DESTRUCTION RATE MINIMIZATION IN THE ABSORBER OF A DOUBLE EFFECT VAPOR ABSORPTION SYSTEM

Muhammad Usman Mushtaq et al.

Summary: This study aimed to minimize the exergy destruction rate at the absorber in a multi-effect vapor absorption system. By using the penalty factor method and considering the temperatures of the absorber, evaporator, and condenser, the researchers were able to achieve improvements in the system's energy efficiency. The addition of a refrigerant heat exchanger and a liquid-vapor ejector valve further enhanced the system's performance, resulting in increased coefficient of performance and decreased exergy loss at the absorber.

Exergetic and exergoeconomic analyses of a CI engine fueled with diesel-biodiesel blends containing various metal-oxide nanoparticles

Mustafa Karagoz et al.

Summary: In this study, comprehensive exergetic and exergoeconomic analyses were conducted on a single-cylinder, four-stroke diesel engine. Different nanofuels were tested at varying engine loads, with D90B10Al(2)O(3) showing the highest exergy efficiency and sustainability index values. Al2O3-doped nanofuel emerged as the best test fuel in terms of exergy, exergoeconomics, and sustainability analyzes.

Simulation investigation of the effect of various exhaust gas recirculation temperatures and amounts on the exergy terms in a direct injection diesel engine fueled by diesel/biodiesel

Samad Jafarmadar et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of EGR amounts and temperatures on diesel/biodiesel combustion in a turbocharged direct injection diesel engine from the perspective of Exergy analysis. Results showed that higher EGR implementation at higher temperatures reduced accumulative work and combustion exergies, while increasing fuel and heat loss exergies.

Impact of biodiesel and diesel blends on the fuel filter: A combined experimental and simulation study

Saravanakumar Thangamani et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of biodiesel blends on fuel filters, finding that higher biodiesel concentrations lead to increased filter blocking tendency and reduced tensile strength of the filter media. It also proposed countermeasures such as fuel preheating and ethanol blending to reduce pressure drop.
