Innovative Researches in Science and Engineering
View Published Articles →01About This Special Issue
Advances in scientific and engineering research birth the existence of cutting edge breakthrough in our day to day living, thus, making everyday living less stressful, Science and technology has generated new knowledge, such as discoveries of new principles, and has dramatically contributed to the development and progress of people’s lives, the economy, and the society. Innovative researches are the bedrock of such advances. Technology, especially science-based technology, has offered the promise of a better world through the elimination of diseases, fight against raising forms of global insecurity, eradicating hunger and poverty, qualitative water supply, alternative energy generation options that are not pro global warming, better global economies, growth in business at all level and material improvements to standards of living. This special issue comes as an avenue of harmonising and disseminating such research breakthroughs via this widely circulated publication. Original and well researched papers are solicited in this special issue in any aspect of innovative researches in Science and Engineering.02Meet the Guest Editors

At the same time the need for accurate design in engineering cannot be over emphasize, meaning that the safety of lives ... Show More -
Torrefaction of Nigerian Palm Kernel Shell into Solid Fuel
Issue: Volume 4, Issue 3-1, June 2016Pages: 19-23Received: 29 October 2015Accepted: 30 October 2015Published: 27 January 2016DOI: 10.11648/j.si.s.2016040301.13Downloads:Views:Abstract: Palm kernel shell (PKS) which is a waste from oil palm tree was torrefied to improve its properties as a solid fuel. The study on Palm kernel shell torrefaction was performed under various temperature and time of 200ºC, 220ºC, 240ºC, 260ºC, 280ºC, 300ºC and 40, 80, 120 minutes respectively using a horizontal tubular type reactor made of stainless s...
