Energy Conservation with use of Cool Roof Coatings
Abstract: Regions with hot and dry climate often experience very high levels of solar radiation, high ambient temperatures and relatively low specific humidity. The roofs of buildings in such areas are always exposed to Sun for long duration during the daytime. Solar radiation is responsible for heat transfer through the building roof. Actually, Solar radiation heat the roof which in turn reradiates the heat onto the ceiling and finally on to …

Thermodynamic Equilibrium Modeling of Sunflower Husk Gasifier to Produce Synthesis Gas
Abstract: Energy from biomass offers the great attraction in producing useful gaseous component resulting in low emissions and providing energy security. In the present study a gasifier model was developed using commercial Aspen Plus simulator. The model developed was based on the minimization of Gibb’s free energy and is validated with the experimental data of sunflower husk gasification using air as a gasifying agent. The results predicted are in good agreement …

Biomass Conversion-Technologies and Benefits
Abstract: Biomass refers to an organic matter that can be used as fuel. It comprises crop residues, manure (both human and animal), industrial wastes, domestic wastes etc. Biomass has been in use for energy generation from last several years. Several technologies have been developed for obtaining energy from biomass fuel. Some of these techniques have been summarized in this review. Using biomass for energy generation has several benefits. It is safe …

Sustainable Energy: Types and Utility
Abstract: Sustainable energy comprises of all the energy sources that meets the human demands without being worried about the future prospects. In other words, sustainable energy can be used in plenty over and over again without worrying about it to get depleted. All kind of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, ocean and biomass energy are examples of sustainable energy [1,2]. These energy sources have the advantage that …
