Lipid yields of algae dried in an enhanced solar chimney
This work focuses on the lipid yield of algae dried using an enhanced solar chimney dryer with the aim towards high quality biodiesel production and low energy consumption. Jaworski’s medium was chosen for the cultivation in this research project as it can provide enough nutrients to green algae of...
