Abstract
This manuscript deals with the modeling and energy simulation of waste from 5 mango varieties and charcoal from a mixture of mango pits. Two empirical studies have been carried out previously. The first allowed the determination of the waste rates (pits and skins) per unit of mango from the 5 varieties and the carbonization yield of a mixture of pits from different varieties. The second allowed the determination of the moisture levels and calorific values of these fuels. From these data, mathematical expressions of the masses, energies, wood, and charcoal equivalent masses of the studied fuels were established based on the masses of raw fresh mangoes in 2 case studies. A simulation carried out on all 5 varieties studied showed that 1000 kg of fresh mangoes could produce approximately 103 kg of wet pits, equivalent to 56 kg of anhydrous pits capable of producing approximately 900 MJ by combustion. This energy would be equivalent to the energy of approximately 48 kg of anhydrous wood. This quantity of fresh mangoes could produce approximately 48 kg of wet skins, equivalent to 12 kg of anhydrous skins, the combustion of which could produce approximately 182 MJ. This energy would be equivalent to the energy of approximately 10 kg of anhydrous wood. As for the pits charcoal, the 103 kg of moist pits that can be produced could produce, after carbonization, 23 kg of anhydrous pits charcoal, equivalent to the energy of 14.50 kg of anhydrous charcoal.
