The primary goal of this research is to investigate how climate change affects maize yield in Wolaita zone of Ethiopia. The authors were employed a linear regression method to evaluate the relationship between climate parameters and maize yield. Sen's slope magnitude estimator and the Mann-Kendal trend test were used to assess the significance of climate change. The outcome demonstrated that the temperature extreme indices of warm days and the length of warm days were considerably higher by 37.5% and 3.7% of days per year, however, cold days and cold spells were significantly decreased. Over the 1981-2021 periods, there was a significant upward pattern in TXx and TNn at an average of 0.033°C and 0.034°C. There was a considerable decline of 2.3% in the simple daily precipitation intensity index and 33% decreased in extremely heavy precipitation, respectively. The correlation analysis's findings indicated that growing period precipitation and maize outputs were positively correlated, but negatively correlated with maximum and minimum temperatures. Extreme temperature and precipitation were more explained a maize yield than average climate patterns. 12.4%, 14.76%, 13.08%, and 7.95% of maize output variability was attributed by the growing season mean climate conditions, which include precipitation, mean, minimum, and maximum temperature. The variability of maize output was explained by combined impact of precipitation and temperature extremes were 67.7% and 45.0%, respectively. Therefore, livelihood diversification and relevant policy formulation are suggested to adapt inevitable climate change by implementing irrigation and resistant varieties to improve maize yield production.\u0000","PeriodicalId":148731,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Energy and Environmental Science","volume":"32 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141836198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The process entails gathering, cleaning, and transporting the flue gas to a pyrolysis reactor where it is used to carbonize and heat biomass. The paper outlined the design of various components, such as the heat exchanger, pyrolysis reactor, and flue gas filter. It specified that the flue gas temperatures in the glass, pulp and paper, and alcohol industries typically range from 400-500°C, 200-500°C, and 150-300°C, respectively. Furthermore, the chemical compositions of these industries were analyzed at the factory. The study emphasized the importance of these design considerations and temperature ranges for efficient operation and optimal performance in the respective industries. The resultant charcoal has several uses and is a sustainable and renewable fuel. In addition, the technique lessens greenhouse gas and flue gas emissions into the atmosphere, protecting the environment and slowing down climate change. The average chemical composition of flue gas from three industries was ascertained, together with the temperature range necessary for pyrolysis and the mechanical layout of the system used to produce charcoal. Upon determining the characteristics of industrial flue gas, the mechanical design of the charcoal production process was incorporated essential components. These include a temporary storage tank, a pyrolysis reactor, and a flue gas filter. This comprehensive design aims to ensure the production of quality charcoal while addressing environmental concerns related to pollution from flue gas treatment. The integration of these components is crucial for optimizing the production process and enhancing environmental sustainability by mitigating the impact of flue gas emissions on the environment. The project report emphasizes the significance of these design considerations in achieving efficient and environmentally friendly charcoal production. The paper also discusses the environmental and economic benefits of using flue gas as an energy source for charcoal production. The paper concludes that this method is a feasible and promising solution for efficient resource utilization and sustainable development.","PeriodicalId":148731,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Energy and Environmental Science","volume":"12 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140712988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
