Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Performance of Direct Injection Diesel Engines Fueled Using Compressed Natural Gas and Diesel Fuel Based on GT-POWER SimulationSemin, Abdul R. Ismail, Rosli A. BakarThe paper is investigated the application of compressed natural gas (CNG) as an alternative fuel and its performance effect in the diesel engines using GT-POWER computational simulation. The CNG as an alternative fuel for four stroke diesel engine modeling was developed from the real diesel engine using GT-POWER computational model with measure all of engine components size. The computational model … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 7,313 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 abstractINFLUENCE OF REACTION TEMPERATURE AND REACTION TIME ON PRODUCT FROM HYDROTHERMAL TREATMENT OF BIOMASS RESIDUEJakaphong Kongpanya, Kanokorn Hussaro, Sombat TeekasapThailand is facing with problems associated with biomass residue such as palm oil residues (oil palm trunks, oil palm fronds, empty fruit bunches, shells and fibers). Biomass is promising source for the production of an array of energy-related produts including, liquid, solid and gaseous fuels, heat, chemicals electricity and other materials. Therefore, the use of biomass for energy is not … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 2 Jun 2014 · 7,676 accessesView PDFCite
