Review on Effects of Torrefaction Process on the Biomass
Abstract: This paper contains review of the effects of torrefaction process variables on several types of biomass. In the torrefaction process, biomass is slowly heated in an inert atmosphere and temperature ranges from 200 to 300°C. This results in the complete degradation of hemicellulose content of the biomass and changes the properties of the biomass. Due to the improved properties, it becomes more convenient fuel. It is also called a pretreatment …

Evaporative Cooling By Using Different Porous Materials
Abstract: The method of evaporative cooling involves raising the air temperature by causing water vapour in an airstream to evaporate. Waterneeds the latent heat of vaporisation to evaporate, and this heat is produced by ambient air and a drop in air temperature. A porousmedium is necessary for both direct and indirect evaporative cooling in order to allow heat and mass transfer between the medium'swater and the air moving through it, or …
