In this work, the techno-economic and exergy analyses of two gasification technologies with integration into heat and power combined cycles are presented: i). Circulating fluidized bed (CFB) and ii). Dual fluidized bed (DFB) systems. As feedstock, lignocellulosic biomass (sugarcane bagasse, SCB) was considered. The gasification process of the fluidized-bed systems (circulating and dual bed) and the syngas conversion were performed using Aspen Plus® software. The process design includes biomass drying and gasification, syngas cleaning, combustion, power generation, and heat recovery. The SCB-DFB system has the lowest irreversibility rate and, as a result, the highest overall performance and power generation (achieving 32% in the gasification system and 53% of exergy efficiency when coupled with the combined cycle). From the techno-economic assessment, the SCB-DFB system has the lowest total production costs per unit of energy. Hence, the dual fluidized bed systems could be a more competitive technology for the agro-industrial sector to generate power from lignocellulosic materials.

Heat-driven coolers provide a reliable and environmentally benign alternative to traditional electrically powered chillers. Their main advantage is that they can be driven using low enthalpy heat sources. A solar system is installed at the school of Mechanical Engineering of National Technical University of Athens in order to examine the potential of thermal storage and solar cooling under Athens climatic conditions. The cooling effect is produced using a dual bed, single stage, zeolite/water adsorption chiller with cooling capacity of 10 kW at its nominal conditions of operation. Both vacuum tube collectors and hybrid photovoltaic thermal collectors are installed in order to supply the system with heat. The system is evaluated in terms of solar collectors’ useful energy production, heat stored in the intermediate buffer and cooling system’s performance. It is observed that the cooling system operates satisfactorily under Athens climatic conditions achieving a maximum cooling capacity of 3.7 kW and an average COP around 0.5.

Seiring dengan meningkatnya aktivitas, manusia semakin memerlukan alat transportasi yang aman, nyaman dan memadai sebagai sarana pendukung mobilitas. Akibatnya, seiring perkembangan zaman jumlah arus lalu lintas dan jenis kendaraan yang menggunakan ruas-ruas jalan semakin bertambah. Hal ini menimbulkan masalah dibidang transportasi, salah satunya adalah masalah tekanan balik, suhu dan polusi suara (kebisingan) yang ditimbulkan dari knalpot kendaraan. Oleh karena itu, upaya untuk mereduksi kebisingan dan tekanan balik dari muffler kendaraan perlu dilakukan. Salah satunya dengan menggunakan dual bed catalitic converter berbahan tembaga dan kuningan. Dual bed catalytic converter berfungsi sebagai peredeuksi emisi sekaligus dapat merduksi kebisingan dan meningkatkan performa mesin. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui seberapa besar peningkatan performa mesin dengan menggunakan dual bed converter berbahan tembaga dan kuningan pada sepeda motor Honda Vario Techno. Penelitian yang dilakukan adalah penelitian eksperimen (experimental research). Analisis data menggunakan metode deskriftif kuantitatif. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan dual bed catalytic converter berbahan tembaga dan pada sepeda motor Vario Techno 125 CC dapat meningkatkan torsi (torque), daya (power) dan menurunkan tingkat kebisingan. Peningkatan torsi tertinggi pada catalitic kuningan-tembaga sebesar 16,70 % didapatkan pada putaran 4000 rpm dan catalitic tembaga-kuningan sebesar 10,06% didapatkan pada putaran 8000 rpm. Peningkatan daya efektif catalitic Kuningan-Tembaga tertinggi sebesar 2,40 % didapatkan pada putaran 3000 rpm, sedangkan catalitic tembaga kuningan tertinggi sebesar 3,20%. Selain itu dual bed catalitic converter berbahan tembaga dan kuningan pada knalpot sepeda motor Honda Vario Techno 125 CC dapat menurunkan tingkat kebisingan tertinggi pada catalitic Tembaga-Kuningan sebesar 3,08 % didapatkan pada putaran 4000 rpm dan penurunan tingkat kebisingan tertinggi pada catalitic Kuningan-Tembaga sebesar 5.6% pada putaran 4000 rpm.
