Conversion of Textile Waste Yarns to Candle Product by Designing Simple Candle Producing Machine
Abstract: During the production of yarn in textile industry, there is high waste generation due to different reasons. These wastes are used for the production of candle and tapper product. In order to be competitive with companies performing similar operation, it requires changing this waste into some product. Since there is no other sector, which produces candle from waste yarn in Ethiopia, and candles are currently imported, which increases the product …

Catalysed Biofuels Using Vegetable Oils and Animal Fats
Abstract: It is a first to use biochemical modification of fats to create fuel for transport. The chemical transformation is required to produce products that are more useful and have qualities similar to those of crude oil-derived fuels. Biodiesel (a combination of methyl esters produced by transesterification) and green diesel are the two forms of fuels discussed (paraffins produced by hydrogenation of oils). Three bio-lubricant synthesis strategies are also discussed. Biofuels …

Exploration of Copper Oxide PVA/PEG Paraffin Polymer Composites for Enhanced Thermal Performance of Nano-Enhanced Phase Change Materials and Their Environmental Impact
Abstract: This study investigates the synthesis, characterization, and application of copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles integrated into polymer-based paraffin wax composites for advanced thermal management applications. CuO nanoparticles were synthesized using a wet chemical approach and characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS), confirming their crystalline structure, morphology, and nanoscale size distribution. The synthesized nanoparticles were incorporated into polymer-supported phase change …
