| Summary: | The importance of biomass as an alternative source of energy is becoming more
acknowledgeable among many researchers throughout the world. With the world natural
resources lessen as time goes by, there is a need to find renewable sources. Many
of the
research
found emphasize mainly on biomass in the eastern part of the world such as the
wheat, cottons and also aquatic biomass. In this particular study, experiments will focus
on the potential of tropical
biomass.
As Malaysia is well
-
known for it
s vast source of
plants and agricultural activities, the
wastes produced can be
processed and
utilized as a
source of fuels
and
for electricity generation. The main objective of this project is to find
out the calorific value of various biomasses using the
method of direct combustion. In
the end the result is compare
d
with values obtained using the BOMB Calorimeter. This
project will also measure the effectiveness of the combustion furnace
and to discuss any
weaknesses found for future improvement. |
