The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of extrusion on cell disruption of a marine alga Nannochloropsis oceanica with a single-screw extruder for the production of intracellular valuables. The effect of operating parameters including feed moisture (15–24%) and screw rotation speed (300–450 rpm) was also determined. Experimental results demonstrated that extrusion was effective...
This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of solid oxide fuel cell based combined cooling heating and power (SOFC-CCHP) applications in public buildings of China from different perspectives. Operations of the natural gas fueled SOFC-CCHP systems for 20 years’ have been simulated for five categories of public buildings in five locations of China. Parallel simulations of combustion based CCHP systems...
This study evaluated the energy performance of an a-Si semi-transparent PV insulating glass unit (IGU) via numerical simulation and experimental tests. Combined with the measured optical and electrical characteristics of the PV laminate, an integrated model was developed to simulate the overall energy performance of the PV IGU in EnergyPlus. Outdoor experiments were conducted to validate the accuracy...
A liquid desiccant air conditioning system is one possible substitute for the high energy consumption of the conventional system. The dehumidifier performance is of great importance as it is the key component of such systems. Film thickness plays a vital role in determining the heat and mass transfer performance of a falling film dehumidifier. However, no experimental studies on the liquid film thickness...
Biodiesel, as an alternative and renewable fuel, has been studied and developed in recent years. In the present paper, a continuous enzyme-catalyzed biodiesel pilot plant using waste cooking oil, with production capacity of 6482 ton/yr, was simulated by Aspen Plus. Detailed operating conditions and equipment designs were obtained. Five reactions were applied to represent the transesterification of...
