Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment and Evaluation of Tractors and Tillage Implements Instrumentation SystemS. A. Al-Suhaibani, A. A. Al-Janobi, Y. N. Al-MajhadiProblem statement: Field machines contribute a major portion of the total cost of crop production. Proper selection and matching of farm machinery is essential in order to reduce the cost of crop production. Performance data for tractors and implements are, therefore, essential for farm machinery operators and manufacturers alike. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate an … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,304 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSustainable Development through Waste Heat RecoveryP. S. Bundela, Vivek ChawlaProblem statement: Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) steam Technology is a proven Technology pioneered by Japanese for cement plant and it is economically viable. Electrical Power can be generated by adopting the latest technology in this field. It used a medium to low temperature (120-350°C) Turbine technology (standard thermal power plants run on steam temp-500°C). Approach: It requires treat exchangers (Hx) … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,401 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling of Nitric Oxide Formation in Single Cylinder Direct Injection Diesel Engine Using Diesel-Water EmulsionK. Kannan, M. UdayakumarProblem statement: Water injection into the combustion chamber of diesel engine found to be one of best method for in-cylinder control of NOx formation. Approach: The combustion of water-diesel emulsion in diesel engine was simulated using a computer program to estimate the heat release rate, cylinder pressure, brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption and NO formation. Results: The numerical … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,268 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBio-oils from Pyrolysis of Oil Palm Empty Fruit BunchesMohamad Azri Sukiran, Chow Mee Chin, Nor Kartini Abu BakarProblem Statement: The palm oil industry generates an abundance of oil palm biomass such as the mesocarp fibre, shell, empty fruit bunch (EFB), frond, trunk and palm oil mill effluent (POME). For 80 million tonnes of fresh fruit bunch (FFB) processed last year, the amount of oil palm biomass was more than 25 million tones. The objectives of this study … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 11,184 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Surface Treatment on Fatigue Life of Cylinder Block for Linear Engine using Frequency Response ApproachM. M. Rahman, A. K. Ariffin, S. Abdullah et al.Objectives: This study was focused on the finite element techniques to investigate the effect of surface treatment on the fatigue life of the vibrating cylinder block for new two-stroke free piston engine using random loading conditions. Motivation: An understanding of the effects related to the random loading is necessary to improve the ability of designers to accurately predict the fatigue … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 8,139 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Emissions from Power Stations on the Ambient Air Quality of Selected Urban Areas in KuwaitBader N. Al-Azmi, V. Nassehi, A.R. KhanIn Kuwait, two main power stations, one comprising of seven-300MW steam generators at Doha and other with eight-300MW steam generators at Subyia cover the major power requirement of Kuwait city. These stations used different types of fuel oil as the prime source of energy that has different sulpher contents (S%). Comprehensive emission inventories for year the 2001 were used to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,014 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCombustion of Bimodal Nano/Micro Aluminum Suspension with New Reaction Rate ModelM. Bidabadi, N. Moallemi, I. Shafieenejad, M. JadidiIn this study a mathematical model for combustion of bimodal particle in lean flow was developed. The difference between structure of flame in this work and previous ones was that, in those flame was divided by five zones and reaction rate was considered to be constant in reaction zones and also zero in post flame zone. In reality it was … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,794 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison and Parametric Study of Flameless Oxidation in a Gas Turbine Using Two Kinetics MechanismsMohamed Hamdi, Hmaïed Benticha, Mohamed SassiThe so-called "Flameless Oxidation" is a novel combustion mode, in which combustion products are re-circulated and mixed into the fresh incoming fuel and air streams. This reduces the concentration of the reactants and thereby reducing the reaction rate through avoiding the formation of sharp high temperature zones in the combustion chamber. Flameless combustion has been acknowledged as one of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,950 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis and Optimization of Carbon Dioxide Emission Mitigation Options in the Cement IndustryMohammed Ba-Shammakh, Hernane Caruso, Ali Elkamel et al.The cement industry is responsible for approximately 5% of global anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions emitting nearly 900 kg of CO2 for every 1000 kg of cement produced. Effective control strategies to mitigate these emissions are discussed and a mathematical programming model able to suggest the best cost effective strategy is outlined. Control costs consisting of operating and investment costs along … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,387 accessesView PDFCite
