The effect of centrifugation at 1000 rpm on crude palm oil characteristics / Mohd Faisal Mohd Zaki

Today, almost all energy in the world is extracted from petroleum base. At current rate of usage the source of petroleum will meet it end sooner or later. Alternative energy is needed to replace the current source of energy. Alternative energy can come from various type of source such as plant, sola...
