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 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. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 2 Aug 2011 · 7,727 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransesterification of Palm Oil for the Production of BiodieselKhalizani Khalid, Khalisanni KhalidProblem statement: Palm oil is known as an important source of edible oil with significant values of renewable energy. Depletion of petroleum had captured much attention on producing biodiesel from the palm oil. Approach: The most concerning methods for the production of biodiesel were discussed, namely transesterification (alkali and acid), enzymetic approach and supercritical alcohol. Results: The results showed the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 19 Jul 2011 · 8,389 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlowering and Fruit Set Under Malaysian Climate of Jatropha curcas L.Noor Camellia Noor Alam, Thohirah Lee Abdullah, Nur Ashikin Psyquay AbdullahProblem statement: In recent years Jatropha curcas has drawn the world’s attention as it has the potential to replace fossil fuel as biodiesel. However, the biggest setback in Jatropha cultivation in Malaysia is the low percentage of fruit set and the high ratio of male to female flowers. In order to further understand the flowering and fruit characteristics of Jatropha, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 10 Mar 2011 · 9,829 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of Biodiesel by Enzymatic Transesterification: ReviewA.E. Ghaly, D. Dave, M.S. Brooks, S. BudgeProblem Statement: The research on the production of biodiesel has increased significantly in recent years because of the need for an alternative fuel which endows with biodegradability, low toxicity and renewability. Plant oils, animal fats, microalgal oils and waste products such as animal rendering, fish processing waste and cooking oils have been employed as feedstocks for biodiesel production. In order … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 21,467 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Hydroxylated Compounds on Properties and Emission of Palm BiodieselRoila Awang, Choo Yuen MayThe Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) attempted the search for a viable alternative fuel leading to a possible substitution to the conventional diesel since 1982, using palm oil derived fuel. Numerous studies have shown that most exhaust emission encountered with conventional diesel fuel are reduced with biodiesel,with the exception of nitrogen oxides (NOx). This paper is reported on the effect … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,144 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRe-Paving the Road Built by Chemistry: A Challenge to Biochemistry and BiotechnologyAlberto A. IglesiasBiochemistry’s birth can be placed at the end of the nineteenth century, when Eduard Buchner made a clever interpretation of experimental observations on the generation of gas bubbles after addition (the original purpose was preservation) of sucrose to a yeast crude extract (Lagerkvist, 2005). Intelligently, Buchner concluded that the disaccharide had been fermented by broken cells’ suspension to produce CO2, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2015 · 7,461 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
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF METHYL ESTER OF COTTON SEED OIL BLEND WITH DIESEL ON CI ENGINEK. Vijayaraj, A. P. SathiyagnanamPetroleum based fuels worldwide have not only resulted in the rapid depletion of conventional energy sources, but have also caused severe air pollution. The search for an alternate fuel has led to many findings due to which a wide variety of alternative fuels are available at our disposal now. The existing studies have revealed the use of vegetable oils for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 10 · 29 Oct 2014 · 6,765 accessesView PDFCite
