Ex situ catalytic fast pyrolysis of biomass is a promising route for the production fungible liquid biofuels. There significant ongoing research on design and development catalysts this process. However, there are limited number studies investigating process configurations their effects biorefinery economics. Herein we present conceptual with techno-economic assessment; it includes upgraded bio-oil via fixed bed ex followed by final hydroprocessing to hydrocarbon fuel blendstocks. This study...
A preliminary analysis has been conducted of the performance a Chemical Looping system with Oxygen Uncoupling (CLOU) copper oxide as oxygen carrier and coal approximated by carbon fuel. The advantages uncoupling are demonstrated providing energy balances, circulation rate carrier, mass loadings, burnout partial pressure in fuel reactor. Experimental data on cycling cuprous to cupric kinetics for oxidation decomposition reactions oxides were obtained use analysis. For this study unsupported...
Abstract This paper presents a comparative techno‐economic analysis ( TEA ) of five conversion pathways from biomass to gasoline‐, jet‐, and diesel‐range hydrocarbons via indirect liquefaction with specific focus on utilizing oxygenated intermediates. The four emerging interest are compared one conventional pathway (Fischer‐Tropsch) for the production hydrocarbon blendstocks. processing steps include biomass‐to‐syngas gasification, syngas clean‐up, alcohols/oxygenates followed by blendstocks...
Chemical-looping with oxygen uncoupling (CLOU) offers a promise to reduce energy penalty by facilitating the capture of CO2 emitted from power plants. It has potential lower carrier inventory fuel reactor in contrast chemical-looping combustion (CLC). The primary mechanism CLOU for solid fuels is their reaction gaseous released decomposition metal oxide, which differs CLC where be gasified first. slower gasification subsequently followed circulating carrier. present study concerned rate...
With the increased availability of low-cost natural gas, co-conversion gas and biomass-to-liquid fuels has gained interest due to potential improve liquid fuel yields while lowering greenhouse emissions.
Abstract The integration of hydrogen as an energy carrier into existing natural gas pipeline infrastructure presents a promising option for the decarbonization sector. However, using in pipelines requires overcoming engineering challenges attributed to physical property and design considerations both which may result failures. To this end, study employs multi-software approach model steady-state transient behaviors blended with under cyclic variations. For state modeling, Crank-Nicolson...
Chemical looping combustion (CLC) is one of the promising technologies for fuel which has potential to reduce energy penalty associated with CO2 capture process. A CLC system typically consists two interconnected fluidized beds that act as a and an air reactor, recirculating metal/metal-oxide acting carrier oxygen from latter former. Insights design optimization reactor in process could be obtained by analyzing oxidation kinetics Law Additive Reaction Times. The law offers approximate closed...
Abstract With the increased availability of low‐cost natural gas, co‐conversion gas and biomass‐to‐liquid fuels has attracted attention from industry due to its potential for improving liquid fuel yields while lowering greenhouse emissions. This study provides an understanding Fischer–Tropsch kinetics, improvements in processing strategies hydrocarbon production, impact on cost biomass‐to‐transportation fuels. Studies that investigate effect reaction kinetics techno‐economic analysis can be...

In its aspirations to achieve net zero goals by 2070, India is considering multiple renewable energy options. With the expectation of replacing fossil fuel-based feedstocks, hydrogen being seen as a potential option for transportation industry [1]. Replacing fuel distribution infrastructure based on feedstocks address futuristic emerging like will receive an impetus if challenges introduction in urban setting are duly identified through combination first principles engineering optimization...
Academic institutions are excited about the opportunities that showcased by Government of India’s New Education Policy 2020 regarding potential impact it can have on learners. Inspired this important development, a team engineering and architecture students took initiative to consider exploring energy-efficient building designs through Solar Decathlon India contest in support new policy. The contributed developing concept for “Student Life Centre” - particularly deals with student activities...
Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an important examination which around 1 million Indian engineering students register for seeking admission into renowned technical institutions of the country and finding jobs state-owned Public-Sector Undertakings (PSU). Through application learning analytics educational data mining, a large dataset 1039 was analyzed to gain insights factors leading successful examination.
