Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Hydrogen Addition on Diesel Engine Operation and NOx Emission: A Thermodynamic StudyPrateep Chaisermtawan, Sathaporn Chuepeng, Sompop JarungthammachoteProblem statement: The worldwide increasing energy demand and the environmental problem due to greenhouse gas emission, especially produced from fossil fuel combustion, have promoted research work to solve these crises. Diesel engine has proven to be one of the most effective energy conversion systems. It is widely used for power generation, land vehicles and marine power plant. To reduce diesel … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 4 Aug 2012 · 7,771 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation of Compressed Natural Gas Engine for Nitrogen Oxides ReductionP. M. Diaz, B. Durga PrasadProblem statement: This study describes the use of Reformer Gas (RG) to alter NOx emission in a CNG-fueled HCCI engine. Comparison with diesel, natural gas has a very high octane number (≈120) and high auto-ignition temperature (≈600°C). Composed mostly of methane, natural gas is the only common fuel to manifest relatively pure, single-stage combustion. Other fuels have stronger low-temperature reaction … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 15 May 2012 · 7,299 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Page Ranking Algorithm for a Personalized Web SearchJ. Jayanthi, K. S. JayakumarProblem statement: Information on the web is growing exponentially. Today, traditional search engines provide results mainly based on the user’s query. Though the context of the query varies, the returned result seems to be same for all users. Accordingly users are expected to search for the relevant results, which is an added overhead to the users. Approach: We propose a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 12 May 2012 · 6,998 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental and Skeletal Kinetic Model Study of Compressed Natural Gas Fueled Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition EngineP. M. Diaz, B. Durga Prasad, D.S. Manoj Abraham, K. PalaniKumarProblem statement: In homogeneous charge compression ignition engines fuel oxidation chemistry determines the auto-ignition timing, heat release, reaction intermediates and the ultimate products of combustion. To shorten development time and to understand combustion processes, the use of simulation is increasing. Approach: A model that correctly simulates fuel oxidation at these conditions would be a useful design tool. Detailed models of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 22 Mar 2012 · 7,258 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of E100 to Fuel a Used 4-Stroke MotorcycleT. SuthisripokProblem statement: Though ethanol and gasohol are proved to be used as alternative fuels in vehicles, 4-stoke motorcycles used nationwide mainly consumed gasoline 91/95. Approach: The motorcycle tested, the used Honda Wave125 model, was properly tuned at the rich relative air-fuel ratio (λ) 0.85, which theoretically gave the maximum power output. For the use of E100, the engine required richer … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 23 Feb 2012 · 9,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMedical Image Classification Using Genetic Optimized Elman NetworkT. Baranidharan, D. K. GhoshProblem statement: Advancements in the internet and digital images have resulted in a huge database of images. Most of the current search engines found in the web depends only on images that can be retrieved using metadata, which generates a lot of unwanted results in the results got. Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system is the utilization of computer vision techniques … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 24 Nov 2011 · 7,722 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFirst Token Algorithm for Searching Compound Terms Using Thesaurus DatabaseYousef Abuzir, Thabit SabbahProblem statement: Searching text materials is the one of the most important operations that carried out by search engines either on web or desktop applications, searching algorithms are required sometimes to find a specific word into a text, others to find a multi word term (pattern matching) into a text. Searching for term into a thesaurus database can be carried … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 28 Oct 2011 · 7,950 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQArabPro: A Rule Based Question Answering System for Reading Comprehension Tests in ArabicMohammed Akour, Sameer Abufardeh, Kenneth Magel, Qasem Al-RadaidehProblem statement: Extensive research efforts in the area of Natural Language Processing (NLP) were focused on developing reading comprehension Question Answering systems (QA) for Latin based languages such as, English, French and German. Approach: However, little effort was directed towards the development of such systems for bidirectional languages such as Arabic, Urdu and Farsi. In general, QA systems are more … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 14 Jun 2011 · 7,704 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContext Disambiguation Based Semantic Web Search for Effective Information RetrievalM. Barathi, S. ValliProblem statement: Search queries are short and ambiguous and are insufficient for specifying precise user needs. To overcome this problem, some search engines suggest terms that are semantically related to the submitted queries, so that users can choose from the suggestions based on their information needs. Approach: In this study, we introduce an effective approach that captures the user’s specific … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 4 Apr 2011 · 6,882 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethanol-Based Transesterification Optimization of Waste Used Cooking Oil over Potassium Hydroxide CatalystCholada Komintarachat, Sathaporn ChuepengProblem statement: Waste used Cooking Oil (WCO) harmfully affected to environment and human’s health can be a feedstock for producing biodiesel. Approach: The conversion of Fatty Acid and Free Fatty Acid (FFA) of WCO with 15.0% w/w FFA content to biodiesel was studied through transesterification reactions. This work investigated the effects of alcohol and catalyst quantity, reaction time and temperature … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 9,748 accessesView PDFCite
