In this study, the authors have tried to compare the stability behaviour of water emulsified diesel (WED) prepared by mechanical homogenizer and ultrasonicator. Both types of emulsion have been prepared by adding 10% water and 2% surfactant mixture of Span 80 and Tween 80. The emulsion prepared...

This work concerns a preliminary study of the combustion of chars made from two different biomass species, vine and kiwi pruning wastes. The study was performed in a fluidized bed combustor, operating in a bubbling bed regime. The pellets were manufactured in a different installation, Viseu...

The reversible exothermic reaction of CaO with water is considered one of the most promising reactions for high temperature thermal energy storage. In this paper, a novel technical design of a MW-scale thermochemical energy storage reactor for this reaction is presented. The aim is to provide an...
