Wet Gas Metering Performance Using Conventional Flow Measurement Devices, Vitali Mwinyi

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

The demand for and production of natural wet gas from wells has significantly risen in recent years. Although natural gas liquids hold substantial value in the oil and gas market, their presence in wet gas adversely affects gas metering, leading to overreading during measurement. A comprehensive study has been undertaken to formulate and enhance correlations for rectifying overreading in wet gas metering. Nevertheless, most current correlations are designed for horizontal configurations of traditional meters. Mitigating this constraint is crucial to consider the impact of gravity on pressure loss in vertically oriented systems. This study seeks to evaluate the efficacy of …

Evaluation Of Thermal And Emission Performances Of Briquettes Produced From Carbonized Corn Cob And Corn Husk, Karina S. Motani

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

The Mozambican agro-industrial sector relies heavily on various crops, with maize being the most significant. During processing, substantial waste is generated, which is often discarded as organic matter or burned, contributing to environmental pollution and the loss of potential energy resources. This study evaluated the thermal and emission performance of briquettes made from carbonized corn cob (CCC) and carbonized corn husk (CCH), using cashew nut skin as a binder for clean cooking applications. The briquettes were assessed against firewood and charcoal as control fuels, focusing on several energy performance parameters: water boiling time (WBT), combustion index (CI), thermal efficiency (TE), …

The Impacts Of Renewable Energy Sources: A Review On Grid Inertia And Frequency Regulation, Sospeter Gabriel

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

The power system is gradually transitioning into low inertia due to integrating substantial intermittency quantity of converter-based renewable energy sources, such as wind and photovoltaic power, into the current power grid network. This integration presents significant inertia and frequency control challenges to the network as a result of a decrease in the percentage of synchronous generators. Moreover, faster frequency deviations are posed by the mismatch between the supply and demand during contingencies, which creates difficulties in preserving the frequency stability of the power system. This research explores the impacts of renewable energy sources (RESs) on grid inertia and frequency management …

Analysis Of An Improved Reliability Dual-Buck Structured Three-Level Flying Capacitor Inverter, Almachius Kahwa Dr.

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

With the increased demand for high-reliability power converters in the electric drive-train and propulsion systems, the efforts to design and analyze converters with high fault tolerance have become apparent. Among the emerging trends to improve the reliability of power converters is the incorporation of dual-buck (DB) structures in traditional converter topologies. Thus, this paper studies a single-phase dual-buck structured three-level flying capacitor (FC) inverter. The dual-buck flying capacitor (DBFC) inverter was constructed in such a way as to suppress the shoot-through problems that may occur because of the switching mismatch and gate driver delay, as exhibited in the traditional FC …

A Review Of Lithium-Ion Battery Capacity Fade Deceleration At Power Fluctuations In Renewable Energy Systems, Isaac Gwayi

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

Application of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries to store energy in renewable energy systems (RESs) is increasing due to their promising properties. Therefore, it is crucial to understand aging behaviours of Li-ion battery during RES life time as this directly affects cost of energy. Li-ion battery aging can be categorised into calendar aging and cycle aging. Calendar aging depends mainly on temperature and state of charge (SoC). In addition to temperature and SoC, cycle aging depends also on charge and discharge current rates and cut-off voltages. Higher current rates lead to faster Li-ion battery aging. It is necessary to identify appropriate battery …

Shelf Life And Physicochemical Properties Of Bitter Melon Fruit (Momordicha Crantia, L) Stored At Low Temperature Using Edible Natural Coatings Made From Coconut Oil And Beeswax, Ummi Rohajatien, Budi Wibowotomo, Nico Atmawijaya, Citra Diah Permata, Aly Imron

Bulletin of Culinary Art and Hospitality

Pare fruit is a fruit that has identical characteristics, namely having a bitter taste when consumed. Cultivation of bitter gourds in Indonesia is relatively easy with a favorable tropical climate, but post-harvest handling and storage at room temperature are less effective so that bitter melons rot quickly. So, an edible coating effort was made. This study aims to determine the effect of the ratio of coconut oil and beeswax as an edible coating on the physical quality, weight loss, and antioxidant capacity of bitter melon (Momordicha crantia L.). This experimental study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with two repetitions …

The Instantaneous Push Force Indicator And Its Relationship To Lower Limb Explosive Power And Selected Biomechanical Variables Of The Salto Forward Tucked, Widad Kadhim Majeed, Huda Shihab Jari, Maryam Abdul Jabbar Khudair, Özgür Eken

Modern Sport

The scarcity of studies examining this relationship makes it difficult to provide accurate and scientifically grounded data regarding its significance. This research aims to bridge this academic gap by analyzing the dynamic relationship between these variables. The research problem lies in the observed difficulty athletes face in performing the tucked front somersault on the floor exercise mat. This difficulty may stem from deficits in the explosive muscular power of the legs and insufficient instantaneous push-off force required to achieve the necessary elevation to complete the skill. Additionally, the coach's neglect of the importance of these variables---as well as the biomechanical …
