Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCombustion, Performance and Emission Characteristics of Diesel Engine with Neem Oil Methyl Ester and its Diesel BlendsL. Prabhu, S. Sathish Kumar, M. Prabhahar, K. RajanBiodiesel, an alternative fuel is derived from the fats of animals and plants. As energy demands increase and fossil fuels are limited, research is directed towards alternative renewable fuels. The main advantages of using this alternative fuel are its renewability, biodegradability and better quality of exhaust gases. It is technically competitive and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional petro-diesel fuel for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 24 Jul 2013 · 7,259 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGaseous Emissions and Combustion Efficiency Analysis of Hydrogen-Diesel Dual Fuel Engine under Fuel-Lean ConditionPrateep Chaisermtawan, Sompop Jarungthammachote, Sathaporn Chuepeng, Thanya KiatiwatExhaust gas emissions from diesel engine combustion using alternative fuel may change in their quantities that can affect exhaust gas after-treatment devices and environmental ambient. This study presents theoretical analysis of combustion generated emissions and efficiency of hydrogen-diesel duel fuel in fuel-lean condition. A chemical equilibrium method by minimizing Gibbs free energy is employed to estimate exhaust gas products from … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 1 Sep 2012 · 7,509 accessesView PDFCite
