    Abstract: Mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants need to be reduced. In a coal-fired power plant, mercury enters the system primarily with the coal, and exits the system as bound particle compounds, soluble mercury or vapor-phase mercury. Oxidized mercury is effectively removed in wet flue gas desulfurization scrubbers – WFGD.one of the options for ... Show More

    Abstract: In this paper, the demand of Low Voltage electricity customers in Cameroon using electricity as an energy source beginning from the period 1975 to 2011 is modeled. This approach aims to study the consumption determinants (macro- economic indicators, demographic indicators and lagged consumption of low voltage electricity) of low Voltage Customers a... Show More

    Abstract: This research was focused on an investigation of the effect of injection dwell time in a dual-stage injection on the combustion and emission characteristics of biodiesel using an optically accessible single-piston diesel engine. In addition, the results from biodiesel combustion and emission characteristics were compared to those of fossil fuels su... Show More
