Evaluation of Bagasse Ash for Application in Glass Manufacture

Tagwoi J. T.*, Garkida A. D., Ali E. A., Asuke F., Yawas D. S.

Bagasse ash results from burning bagasse, a matted cellulose fiber residue from sugarcane that has been processed in sugar mills. In this paper, Bagasse ash has been chemically characterized in order to evaluate the possibility of its use in glass manufacture. The result of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) showed the ash to contain SiO2 - 31.67%, K2O -...

Optimal Design of the Same Lengths of Glass Condensers

Gonah C. M.*, Gimba C. E., Garkida A. D., Yawas D. S.

The study explored solid modelling for possible optimization of conventional laboratory heat exchangers. 240mm, 360mm, 480mm, 600mm and 720mm lengths conventional and unconventional Allihn, Graham, Liebig and Zigzag condensing models were designed and fabricated. An automated coolant system for test running the condensing models was sketched, co...
