Abstract

I. O. Adewumi and V.O. Feyiji

This study presents a mass and energy balance model to boost effectiveness and efficiency in biofuel creation from almond organic product. Material balance models were used to evaluate the material inputs and outputs in order to make the production process more sustainable and efficient. The mass equilibrium is a fundamental piece of the inter- action for making biofuel from almond organic product, and following the mass of every part is important to guarantee that the cycle is successful and effective. Additionally, the energy balance model was developed to determine opportu- nities for energy savings and calculate the process's energy requirements. All of the test samples had a negative mass balance, which indicates that some mass was lost during the process. The energy balance showed that the production process uses a lot of energy and that changing the parameters of the process could save a lot of energy. In general, this study offers a comprehensive strategy for ensuring sustainability while simultaneously maximizing the efficiency and productivity of biofuel production from almond fruit.
