Energy Balance of Biodiesel for Five Sources Recommended México, in the 4th International Congress of Alternative Energies, Held at Centro de Educación Continua, U. Allende of IPN

This document provides a brief comparison of the energy balances, both physical and caloric, for the five sources of biodiesel recommended for Mexico by two specific studies: Jatropha curcas, Ricinus communis (Higuerilla ...

This study investigated thermal intermittence in apple drying, conducted in two stages, and its effect on energy consumption, drying kinetics, color and chlorogenic acid retention. The energy consumption was measured using ...

The energy analysis development in this study contributes to the understanding of the dynamics of the organic coffee productive system, in particular to assess the independence of this system with respect to the use of ...

The study aimed to evaluate energy indicators of a new production system of yellow passion fruit in Marília-SP. Analyzed the inputs of the biological energy, fossil and industrial and output energy in the form of fruits ...

The castor bean crop (Ricinus communis L.) has acquired prestige due to industries interest in the oil quality and recently for new sources of energy demand. The experiment that served as basis for the data used in this ...

In this paper, a review of the thermodynamic approaches of sliding wear is presented. These approaches are divided into the friction energy dissipation, the energy balance and the entropy production. A concise and critic ...
