Abstract

Furnace-02 at PPSDM Migas is utilised in the petroleum processing of residual fuel. The efficiency value of furnace-02 is 62.71%, with 119,1763 Btu/h of heat being wasted through flue gas and a flow velocity of 164 m3/min. The heat value in the flue gas is utilised for the purpose of pyrolysis of the plastic, with a view to optimising energy use in the furnace. The process of plastic pyrolysis has been demonstrated to yield pyrolysis oil, which possesses a calorific value comparable to that of gasoline (10,520 kcal/kg). This pyrolysis oil has the potential to serve as a substitute fuel source for fossil fuels. The design of the pyrolysis system burner modification is such that its capacity is 75 kg/hour. The energy utilisation in the design amounted to 28,645.02 kJ/h, representing 2.3% of the total flue gas heat.

Abstract

Microfluidics is a technology that manipulates fluids at a microscale and has shown great potential in various fields, including energy. This mini-review discusses common microfluidic materials and the main techniques in microfluidic chip fabrication, such as photolithography, soft lithography, and 3D printing-based fabrication methods. Furthermore, several applications of microfluidic chips in the energy sector, such as solar energy and fuel cell systems development, are also discussed. The use of microfluidic chips in energy systems offers high efficiency, low material consumption, and good system integration. This review aims to provide an overview of the progress of microfluidic chip fabrication and its energy potential applications.

Abstract

The counter-rotating wind turbine (CRWT) represents a novel development in horizontal-axis wind turbine technology. This innovative design incorporates an additional rotor that rotates in unison with the main rotor along the same axis. Without the supplementary rotor, the turbine's configuration is analogous to that of a horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) with the main rotor functioning independently. The primary objective of this study is to undertake a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of mechanical energy generation, as measured by torque, between the CRWT and HAWT designs. The configuration of the wind turbine is situated within a wind tunnel, characterized by a rectangular cross-section. The testing of wind turbines has been conducted at wind velocity of 2 m/s, 3 m/s, and 4.5 m/s. The total mechanical power measured was 0.14 W, 0.21 W, and 0.28 W at wind velocity of 2 m/s, 3 m/s, and 4.5 m/s, respectively. The final results of the study have analyzed the effectiveness of power enhancement through power coefficients.
