    Abstract: Lignocellulosic materials (eg.Prosopis juliflora) can be utilized to produce ethanol, a promising alternative energy source for the limited crude oil. This study involved optimization of acid hydrolysis in ethanol production from prosopis juliflora. The conversion of prosopis juliflora to ethanol can be achieved mainly by three process steps: pretr... Show More

    Abstract: The pressure drops in horizontal wellbores, acceleration, wall friction, perforation roughness, and fluid mixing are analyzed in a partially perforated wellbore. It was demonstrated that the perforation inflow actually reduced the total pressure drop. The pressure drop due to perforation roughness was eliminated by the perforation inflow when the r...

    Abstract: Biodiesel production from plant seed oil and animal fat is not a new technologies, though recently searching for alternative renewable sources of fuel is receiving much attention due to global energy demand and increase in environmental pollution. Currently biodiesel is largely produced from edible oil feedstock which may not be sustainable in the ... Show More
