    Abstract: Jatropha curcas is a perennial, deciduous, shrub, which produces seeds rich in oil that is easily convertible into biodiesel. The major constraint in achieving higher biodiesel yield of J. curcas is insufficient information about its climatic variability. The objective of the current work therefore was to evaluate the oil content and biodiesel yiel... Show More

    Abstract: A system to recover part of the energy of exhaust air from an axial fan of 75kW using a Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine is discussed in this paper. The actual air data at the fan outlet are collected from central air conditioning station of a composite textile mill (Kombolcha Textile Share Company) using log-Tchebycheff method. Since the air flow type... Show More
