Abstract

The use of solar energy every day is increasing due to the greater human need for energy. the application of solar desalination equipment is classified as a renewable technology that is very profitable because the energy used is obtained for free and does not cause damage to the environment. This study examines the performance of the solar desalination device with a single slope model with a passive system. It is hoped that greater energy absorption is expected to accelerate the process of evaporation of seawater in the evaporator so as to produce lots of clean water. The desalination tool on the surface of the wall is insulated using aluminum foil with a thickness of 20 mm. The highest solar intensity was obtained on the fifth day of testing, namely 420.85 W/m2 with the radiation heat transfer coefficient of 18.44 W/m2 oC, and the lowest solar intensity on the second day, namely 96.89 W/m2 with the lowest total outside heat transfer coefficient of 25.57 W/m2 oC. The highest evaporative heat transfer coefficient is 10.54 W/m2 oC and the lowest is 4.42 W/m2 oC. the lowest energy absorbed by the evaporator on the second day was 1.37 kWh. And the highest efficiency on the fifth day reached 58.89% and the lowest energy efficiency on the second day, namely 34.05%.

Abstract

Biodiesel is a potential energy source that has attracted attention recently because it can be produced from renewable energy sources and produces low pollutants. Biodiesel is produced by transesterifying edible or non-edible vegetable oils using a catalyst. Homogeneous catalytic processes have disadvantages, such as the catalyst residue cannot be reused. Therefore, heterogeneous or solid catalysts are used, which can be easily separated from the reaction mixture by filtration and reused. A waste cockle shell can be used as a green base catalyst to synthesize waste cooking oil into methyl ester (WCME). The free fatty acid content of used cooking oil (2.19% wt.) was initially reduced to 0.11% wt., using a methanol-oil ratio of 6:1, waste cockle shell 2% wt., reaction time 60 minutes and temperature 60 oC. The effectiveness of the developed waste cockle shell contains high CaO. The results of this study indicated the potential of clam waste cockle shells and used cooking oil as a source of raw materials available in the community for biodiesel production.
