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 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 abstractEnvironmental Pollution Assessment of Different Diesel Injector Location Of Direct-Injection Diesel Engines: Theoretical StudyEyad S. M. Abu-Nameh, Jehad A. A. YaminAn Analytical investigation on the effect of injector location of a four-stroke DI diesel engine on its pollutants’ emissions was carried out under different injector locations ranging from central to peripheral at different engine speeds ranging from 1000 rpm to 3000 rpm. The simulation results clearly indicated the advantages and disadvantages of the central location over the peripheral one. It … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 6,467 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Assessment of Ambient Air Quality in Rabia Area for Years 2001 and 2004 in the State of KuwaitBader N. Al-Azmi, V. Nassehi, A. R. KhanThe hourly air pollutants concentrations were measured continuously by fixed ambient air stations located over the polyclinics in Rabia area in Capital Governorate in the State of Kuwait. The focus of this investigation is to determine the pollution levels of SO2, NO2 and O3 in year 2001 and 2004 to assess the pollution trends. The recorded data are used in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 7,104 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEXPERIMENTAL 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECTS OF ETHANOL-DIESEL EMULSIONS ON THE PERFORMANCE, COMBUSTION AND EMISSION CHARACTERISTICS OF DI DIESEL ENGINER. Parthasarathi, S. Gowri, C. G. 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 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 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.
