Raihan, Riza MuhidaProblem statement: Recently, influx of research afford is being concentrated in automobile engineering to develop low emission hybrid electric vehicle to reduce the greenhouse gases such as hydro-carbons, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, produces from the vehicle. Approach: Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) powered by electric machines and an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) are a promising mean of reducing emissions and fuel … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 25 Aug 2012 · 7,200 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMixing Patterns and Residence Time Determination in a Bubbling Fluidized Bed SystemA. E. Ghaly, K. N. MacDonaldFluidized bed gasification can be used to convert the solar energy stored as carboneous compounds in biomass into a carbon neutral fuel with reduced emissions. Canada produces 20.57 million tonnes of wheat straw annually which could be used for green energy production. Wheat straw residue gasification has the capability of replacing 7.5 % (0.62 EJ) of Canada’s annual fossil fuel … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 17 Aug 2012 · 8,119 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Hydrogen Addition on Diesel Engine Operation and NOx Emission: A Thermodynamic StudyPrateep Chaisermtawan, Sathaporn Chuepeng, Sompop JarungthammachoteProblem statement: The worldwide increasing energy demand and the environmental problem due to greenhouse gas emission, especially produced from fossil fuel combustion, have promoted research work to solve these crises. Diesel engine has proven to be one of the most effective energy conversion systems. It is widely used for power generation, land vehicles and marine power plant. To reduce diesel … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 4 Aug 2012 · 7,771 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of E100 to Fuel a Used 4-Stroke MotorcycleT. SuthisripokProblem statement: Though ethanol and gasohol are proved to be used as alternative fuels in vehicles, 4-stoke motorcycles used nationwide mainly consumed gasoline 91/95. Approach: The motorcycle tested, the used Honda Wave125 model, was properly tuned at the rich relative air-fuel ratio (λ) 0.85, which theoretically gave the maximum power output. For the use of E100, the engine required richer … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 23 Feb 2012 · 9,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Prediction of Depreciation Time of Fossil Fuel in MalaysiaNora Muda, Tey Jin PinProblem statement: The fossil fuels play a crucial role in the world energy markets. Demand for fossil fuels become increasingly high and worrisome, because of fossil fuels will be significantly reduced and ultimately exhausted. This study was conducted to predict the depreciation time of fossil fuels in Malaysia and estimate the time remaining before the fossil fuels will finish. Approach: … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 10 Feb 2012 · 8,599 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForecasting of Energy Consumption and Pollutant Emission for Road Transportation Policies EvaluationPunravee Kongboontiam, Rungsun UdomsriProblem statement: The energy demand in Thailand has significantly increased over last ten years, particularly in transportation sector. Road transportation contributes the highest energy consumption, 38% of the total energy in the whole country, but it consumes 60% of the total energy usage in the northern region of Thailand.
