Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeat Transfer and Effectiveness Analysis of a Cross-Flow Heat Exchanger for Potential Energy Recovery Applications in Hot-Humid ClimateA.R.S. Masitah, Mardiana I Ahmad, Y.M. YatimThis paper presents heat transfer and effectiveness analysis based on a physical model of a cross-flow heat exchanger. Using the model, the transferred heat and effectiveness (ε) in terms of temperature and NTU-method are calculated for both hot and cold streams. From the analyses, it is found that as air velocity increases, the transferred heat through heat transfer plates increases. … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 May 2015 · 13,617 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Comparisons of Anchovy Drying using Centrifugal and Gravitational Fluidized Bed TechniquesWatcharin Dongbang, Rungtawan WiwattanasirikulThe present study investigated experimental comparisons of anchovy drying using centrifugal and gravitational fluidized bed techniques; in addition, drying models and thermal efficiency were also investigated. In the first stage, fresh anchovy was dried with solar energy to reduce the initial moisture content from 81±1%wb to around 65%±1wb. In the second stage, the anchovy was dried with a dryer from … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 23 Apr 2015 · 7,349 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTRANSPIRATION INFLUENCES CADMIUM UPTAKE BY BABY LEAF SPINACH (SPINACIA OLERACEA L.)Carlo Chehine, Paul Holford, Oula Ghannoum et al.Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal whose concentration in soils is rising. This study investigated the effect of transpiration on Cd uptake by plants using soil conditions akin to those experienced by field crops. Two experiments were performed using baby leaf spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) grown in soil containing Chloride (Cl) at a typical concentration of 70 mg kg-1. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 23 Dec 2014 · 8,065 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINCREASING ADSORPTION OF ACTIVATED CARBON FROM PALM OIL SHELL FOR ADSORB H2S FROM BIOGAS PRODUCTION BY IMPREGNATIONWasan Phooratsamee, Kanokorn Hussaro, Sombat Teekasap, Jongjit HirunlabhBiogas is the combustible gas produced through a biological process, known as anaerobic digestion which is the process operated at low-temperature and without air. Biogas consists of 55-80% CH4, 20-45% CO2 with trace amount of H2S and other impurities. Common H2S removal technologies from biogas fall into one of adsorption on a solid such as iron oxide based materials, activated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 16 Aug 2014 · 7,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPREPARATION OF ACTIVATED CARBON FROM PALM OIL SHELL BY CHEMICAL ACTIVATION WITH Na2CO3 AND ZnCl2 AS IMPRENATED AGENTS FOR H2S ADSORPTIONKanokorn HussaroHydrogen Sulfide (H2S, rotten-egg) is one of the major environmental pollutants having its sources in natural and anthropogenic activities. It’s had smell gas produced by anaerobic digestion in acid condition from organic and inorganic compounds containing sulphur, presents dual problems of its toxicity and foul ordour. One of methods of its removal is adsorption. Activated carbon is a widely used … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 17 Jun 2014 · 8,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHEAT INTENSITY OF URBAN BUILT ENVIRONMENT IN HOT HUMID CLIMATE REGIONBeta Paramita, Hiroatsu FukudaLarge numbers of inhabitants in a dense area require land coverage for sheltering purposes. The anthropogenic heat emission potentially reduces ventilation of urban areas and significantly brings changes in air temperature. This study is aimed at finding the correlations between urban form and the alteration of urban microclimate in different land-uses. This study has been carried out in Bandung, Indonesia, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 16 Apr 2014 · 7,812 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Energy Aspects of Apple Drying in the Hot-Air and Infrared DryersSeyed Hashem Samadi, Issa LoghmaniehDrying is an energy-intensive process. In general, heating and evaporation require large quantities of energy. This study has been conducted to evaluate analysis for dying apple slices in two drying systems including hot-air convection and infrared drying. The apple samples were dried at temperatures of 90, 120 and 150°C and radiation intensity of 0.22, 0.31 and 0.49 W/cm2 in the … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 26 Aug 2013 · 8,009 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWaste Heat Recovery from Boiler of Large-Scale Textile IndustryPrateep Pattanapunt, Kanokorn Hussaro, Tika Bunnakand, Sombat TeekasapMany industrial heating processes generate waste energy in textile industry; especially exhaust gas from the boiler at the same time reducing global warming.
