Three models of rim length (5 cm, 10 cm and 15 cm) were taken. The results show that any change in the ratio of length to diameter will affect the flame position and structure of the downstream. It turns out that the flame settles near the edge as the rim length increases. The result indicates that increasing the length of the burner neck will reduce the structure of the swirl and weaken it, thus increasing the incidence of flashback phenomenon. The operating window of three burner neck models was studied above. It was found that the 5 cm rim has an equivalent ratio of (0.38-0.82) and for the 10 cm rim that is equivalent ratio (0.39-0.84), as well as for the rim 15 cm in equivalent ratio (0.4-0.83) with air velocity stabilization. For the above three models. Through the equivalent ratio of the above models. It was found that the 10 cm rim gave a larger operating window and therefore higher stability than the other two models.","PeriodicalId":274115,"journal":{"name":"Energy Research Journal","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133966502","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 seas and oceans of the planet cover about three-quarters of the total surface of our planet so that the extraction of the energy of the seas and oceans is really a permanent urge and necessity that we should see it and take it into account. The immense advantage of the energy extracted from the waters of the seas and the oceans is the constant of its production, that is to say, the extraction of a constant amount of energy, a fact that no longer meets with other energy sources, than perhaps with nuclear energy.","PeriodicalId":274115,"journal":{"name":"Energy Research Journal","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126564272","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}

Biodiesel was produced by trans-esterification of J. curcas seed oil with methanol using NaOH as catalyst. Optimum biodiesel yield of 88.64% was obtained at 7:1 molar ratio of methanol/oil, reaction temperature of 80°C and 0.8% catalyst loading. The biodiesel produced at 80°C, 7:1 methanol/oil ratio and 0.9% catalyst loading when blended with petro-diesel (B20) gave the highest Cetane number of 81.83. The results obtained indicated that the reaction temperature, methanol/oil ratio and catalyst concentration have significant effects on both the Cetane number and yield of biodiesel. Thus, the mathematical model developed can be used in the optimization and simulation of biodiesel yield during trans-esterification of vegetable oil within the range of the parameters studied.","PeriodicalId":274115,"journal":{"name":"Energy Research Journal","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123909501","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}
