Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation of Coal Gasification in a Circulating Fluidized Bed Reactor
(2019-10-09)
One of the applications of coal as a fuel is the production of gas through circulating fluidized bed technology. The modeling of these systems allows verifying and optimizing the design and operation parameters of gasifiers ...
Survival Engineering and the Game of Knowledge: A Ludic Form of Teaching and Learning in Engineering
(The Future of Higher Education in the Middle East and Africa, 03/27/2018)
Within the engineering pedagogy, it must be remembered that students learn in many different ways: seeing, hearing, thinking, acting, drawing analogies, and building mathematical models in the area of science and technology. ...
Water Quality Evaluation of the Cabra River Using Biological Indicators
(2019 7th International Engineering, Sciences and Technology Conference (IESTEC)2019 7th International Engineering, Sciences and Technology Conference (IESTEC), 2019-10-09)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the water quality of the Cabra River through the use of aquatic macroinvertebrates implementing the EPT and BMWP/Pan indexes. The diversity of orders and families of macroinvertebrates ...
Characterization of Biochar from Rice Hulls and Wood Chips Produced in a Top-Lit Updraft Biomass Gasifier
(2016-01-01)
The objective of this study was to characterize biochar produced from rice hulls and wood chips in a top-lit updraft gasifier. Biochar from four airflows (8, 12, 16, or 20 L min-1) and two insulation conditions (not insulated ...
Introduction to the Application of Phase Change Materials under Tropical Climate of Panama
(2019 7th International Engineering, Sciences and Technology Conference (IESTEC)2019 7th International Engineering, Sciences and Technology Conference (IESTEC), 2016-10-09)
Phase change materials (PCM) are materials with the ability to store a large amount of energy (latent heat) during their change from solid to a liquid phase. This takes place at a certain melting temperature. Amid the ...
Biomass carbonization - Production and characterization of biochar from rice husks
(2019 7th International Engineering, Sciences and Technology Conference (IESTEC)2019 7th International Engineering, Sciences and Technology Conference (IESTEC), 2019-12-30)
