    Abstract: Biogas production from crops and their residues is widely used as feed because of its availability and high methane content due to its calorific value. The aim of this study is to estimate the response of cereal crops such as maize, sorghum, wheat, barley and rice to elevated temperature and his impact on biogas production by meta-analysis method. ...

    Abstract: Magnetorheological Finishing (MRF) is a new optical surface processing method, which has the advantages that good polishing effect, no subsurface damage, and suitable for complex surface processing. However, the interaction mechanism between the MRF pad and the workpiece is very complicated, so that the existing MRF material removal theoretical mod... Show More
