Investigating the Influence Biomass Additive on the Thermal Performance of a Fired-Clay for Producing the Inner Liner of a Biomass Cook-Stove
Abstract:
This study investigated the influence of a biomass additive on the thermal performance of the inner liner of fired-clay cook-stoves. Fired-clay cook-stoves are essential cooking devices, particularly in areas with limited access to modern energy resources. The study aimed to enhance the thermal efficiency of the cook-stoves by incorporating rice husk into the inner liner…

Physical and Emission Properties of Blended Bio-Coal Briquettes Derived from Agro-Wastes in Nigeria
Abstract:
Nigeria has one of the highest deforestation rates in the world, due mainly to felling of trees for fuelwood and charcoal production. This challenge could be managed if agricultural waste briquettes are used to augment the fuelwood demand for cooking energy provisioning. Energy density of biomass fuels can be raised by blending with coal, but…
