Assessment & Development of Biodiesel instructional Techniques |
摘要: |
Biodiesel is an emerging renewable fuel whose potential is not well known or understood by the general public. Little prior work has been done to evaluate the effectiveness of biodiesel instructional demonstrations using different feedstock oils and at various scales. Similarly, there is little hands-on biodiesel educational opportunity in the Inland Empire. In this study, it is proposed to: 1) quantify the clarity and color contrast of biodiesel and glycerin products of the biodiesel chemical reaction using different types of vegetable oil, and 2) take video and photographs of small-batch biodiesel production steps, and industrial-scale biodiesel operations in order to produce new and original PowerPoint presentations and lectures for both student courses and general public education. Results will be used in the course NSCI 320 - Energy, in preparing fee workshops offered jointly through the College of Extended Education and the Transportation Center, and all video will be archived with the Transportation Center. |
