Thesis Ideas on renewable energy part two

continued from part ONE

6. Design and development of biodiesel stove

The unique problem with bio diesel is the viscosity making it travel a limited distance along the stove wick.
Therefore, it burns with less flame length. Properties and dimensions of the wick, design of the stove and  the use of construction materials are unique challenges to be addressed.

7. Cost reduction through optimization of fixed dome bio gas digester design
 
Major tasks are reducing the cost of building the digester. Optimization of design, use of alternative construction materials and  enhancing the gas production are optional ways for cost reduction.

8. Production of solid fuel from bio diesel waste

The solid waste after the production of bio diesel can be used as domestic fuel. The project is briquette production from the solid waste.
It is simple but valuable idea that can be converted to small business..

9. More on bio gas

1. Development and testing of new, and alterations to, biogas designs and applications in cooperation with biogas companies and manufacturers of appliances in order to make them more efficient and better adapted to the rural household;
2. Solving technical problems related to the construction, operation, maintenance and repair of biogas plants including the appliances;
3. Standardization of designs of biogas plants and appliances (gas tap, stove, water taps) as well as construction and manufacturing methods;
4. cost reduction of biogas installations;
5. Improving the efficiency of biogas plants (gas production and utilisation);
6. Research to support extension (and the development of extension materials) on the optimal use of composted slurry as fertiliser.
