SaravananThe main objective of this study is to analyze the different ratio of emulsified fuels on the performance, emission and combustion characteristics of four stroke single cylinder kirloskar TV-I direct injection compression ignition engine and compared with diesel fuel under different engine loads with constant engine speed of 1500 rpm. Four kinds of test fuels were prepared namely 80% diesel, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 3 Feb 2014 · 7,342 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Metalloid Compound and Bio-Solution Additives on Biodiesel Engine Performance and Exhaust EmissionsKaroon Fangsuwannarak, Kittichai TriratanasirichaiThe purpose of this study is to perform comparative analysis of the effect of the different fuel additives as polymer based-bio-solution, natural organic based-bio-solution and nano-titanium metalloid (TiO2) compound on the performance parameters and exhuast emissions of a pickup Diesel engine, operating on commercial Diesel fuel (D) and B5 palm biodiesel (95% D+5% palm oil). The basic properties of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 5 Sep 2013 · 7,666 accessesView PDFCite
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 abstractCylinder Pressure Variations of the Fumigated Hydrogen-Diesel Dual Fuel CombustionBoonthum Wongchai, Porranat Visuwan, Sathaporn ChuepengCylinder pressure is one of the main parameters of diesel engine combustion affecting several changes in exhaust gas emission composition and amount as well as engine useful power, specifically when alternative fuels are used. One among other alternative fuels for diesel engine is hydrogen that can be used as fumigated reagent with air prior to intake to engine in order … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 12 Dec 2012 · 7,443 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 · 7,298 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Palm oil Biodiesel Blends as a Fuel for Compression Ignition EngineB. Deepanraj, C. Dhanesh, R. Senthil et al.Problem statement: The increasing awareness of the environmental hazards and the alarming levels of air pollution have led to more restrictive regulations on engines emission control in recent years. Approach: The dwindling resources and rising cost of crude oil had resulted in an intensified search for alternate fuels. In the present study biodiesel (palm oil methyl ester) blends with diesel … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 7 Oct 2011 · 8,216 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputer Modeling of a CI Engine for Optimization of Operating Parameters Such as Compression Ratio, Injection Timing and Injection Pressure for Better Performance and Emission Using Diesel-Diesel Biodiesel BlendsM. Venkatraman, G. DevaradjaneProblem statement: The present work describes a theoretical investigation concerning the performance of a four strokes compression ignition engine, which is powered by alternative fuels in the form of diesel and diesel biodiesel blends. Approach: The developed simulation model used to estimate the cylinder pressure, heat release rate, brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption and engine out emissions.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation on Performance and Emission Characteristics of Low Heat Rejection Diesel Engine with Ethanol as FuelP. Lawrence, P. Koshy Mathews, B. DeepanrajProblem statement: Depleting petroleum reserves on the earth and increasing concerns about the environment leads to the question for fuels which are eco-friendly safer for human beings. The objective of present work was to investigate the effect of coating on piston, cylinder head and valves of a Diesel engine on the performance and emission characteristics of exhaust gases using wet … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 7,219 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComposition-Explicit Distillation Curves of Waste Lubricant Oils and Resourced Crude Oil: A Diagnostic for Re-Refining and EvaluationLisa Starkey Ott, Beverly L. Smith, Thomas J. BrunoProblem statement: We have recently introduced several important improvements in the measurement of distillation curves for complex fluids. The modifications include a composition-explicit data channel for each distillate fraction and temperature measurements that are true thermodynamic state points that can be modeled with an equation of state. The composition-explicit information is achieved with a sampling approach that allows precise qualitative … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,101 accessesView PDFCite
